What is adventure filming & photography?
Adventure film making & photography is film making in nature without any studio equipment, with your camera only. When you want to make a film about an adventures project, you will face film making in all weather conditions: sun, heat, wind and dust and/or freezing. It will happen on a high (or very high) mountain or in the deep cave or underwater, during the daylight or night. If activity you want to record is moving on the water or vertical rock wall, you will have to be close to it, moving in the same way. Adventure film making is an adventure itself!
Who are adventure film makers and photographers? At first Nature lovers and adventurers of all kind: mountaineers, trekkers, skiers and snowboarders, speleologists, divers, sailors, wild animal watchers and birdwatchers, paragliders, rafters and other white water activities fans. All of you who would like to record your adventures will benefit from this course!
