  • Varicam training?

    Posted by Brian Henderson on August 18, 2005 at 4:36 am

    I’ve been working with Beta SP and SX for a long time, but I would like to move up to working in HD and the Varicam. Is there any where near Boston where I can get some training on it? Is any one doing a shoot around here with one that could use a sound tech’, grip, or P.A. who would also be willing to show me around the camera?

    Actually the “Varicamps” are finest way to learn about the varicam and all of it’s intricacies

    Not in Boston proper but they do do camps all around the country.

    I wish I’d thought about it sooner! I could easily have attended the one in Connecticut. I think the next one is in Seattle which will be kind of an expensive trip for me. Still, it might be worth it. I was hoping to find a workshop, or some one working with one who’d be willing to give me some training closer to home. Again, if any one is doing a shoot in New England with a Varicam who needs a sound tech’, grip, or PA on the shoot, and is willing to give me some pointers. Please contact me!

    I agree the Varicamp is excellent.
