Tiffen International has announced the long-anticipated residential UK Steadicam Gold Workshop event to take place at the beautiful Latimer Place near Chorleywood, Buckinghamshire from Sunday 1st to Friday 6th November 2015.
Placements will be on a first come, first served basis and will be residential.
Latimer Place is a venue with great facilities and a wide selection of both outdoor and indoor locations available to work with.
Robin Thwaites, Tiffen International sales director said: Along with professional approaches to blocking and choreography, we will also be using grip, rickshaws, vehicle mounting and hands-free equipment amongst other industry tools to hone and improve your skills as a Steadicam operator.
This Gold Workshop will have an ever increasing technical approach to training, and will incorporate all of the advanced skills not generally covered on our Silver and Bronze Workshops. We would advise as usual that potential attendees have a reasonable basic understanding of Steadicam to get the most from the training, but instructors will be on hand for all levels of ability.
This is to be a five and a half day, intensive and fully submersive experience in the heart of Buckinghamshire, UK with some of Europes finest Steadicam operators as instructors from the worlds of Motion Picture, TV/Broadcast, Drama, Sport and corporate films.
The Instructors secured are the cream of UK Steadicam operators including:
Peter Cavaciuti: Thor; Captain America; Skyfall; Alice in Wonderland; The Wolfman; Eyes Wide Shut
Peter Robertson: Edge of Tomorrow; Anna Karenina; Hanna; Quantum of Solace; Atonement; Hot Fuzz
Paul Edwards: Man From UNCLE; Before I go to Sleep; 47 Ronin; Harry Potter (various); Run Fatboy Run; Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy
Roger Tooley: Penny Dreadful; Mortdecai; Inspector Lewis; Mr Selfridge; Green Zone; Shaun of the Dead
Also present, Tiffen Lead Instructors/Co-Ordinators Robin Thwaites and Danny Hallett, further announcements shortly.
There will be a maximum of 20 placements available to offer maximum benefit from the training, so book now to avoid disappointment.
Cost is inclusive of full board and lodging. Please note that the workshop fee is not negotiable without board/lodgings.

About Steadicam:
M1 Steadicam: The M-1 Steadicam is the result of seven generations of experience, innovation, engineering skills, technological advances and invaluable feedback from the users. Its the strongest and most robust Steadicam of all. The M stands for modular, and this is the most modular Steadicam ever. You can start with the simplest post and upgrade later to the full rig.
The new M-1 camera stage is built around strength and high load precision with centre drives for superior rigidity with an optional vernier fingertip tilt adjustment no tools needed.
The G-70x Elastic Arm is highly durable, performance adjustable, and offers smooth operation with a huge 70lb. lifting capacity and a 29 boom range. You can move it from lowest to highest position with very little effort.
At IBC Expo in September, Top Steadicam operator/trainer Chris Fawcett will be demonstrating the M1 on the Transvideo stand, 11F31. Chris also designed the Exovest , now the Steadicam vest of choice for many. With a pivoting exoskeletal structure the Exovest offers a huge leap forward for operators with unrestricted movement, on-the-fly adjustability, with a user-friendly design which is more sympathetic towards the female operator.
At the show, on stand 10.C49 you will find Robin Thwaites, Danny Hallett, Kevan Parker, Carey Duffy and Terry Carey, as well as Chris Fawcett on Transvideos stand (11.F31.)
