this has got to be one of the best exclusive offerings to date. we have partnered up with steadicam for them to put on a couple of their workshops right around the evolution experience, in the stillmotion studio. for 2 days per workshop we will have peter abraham (a certified steadicam op) who has shot on such films as malcom X (and many more). not only will you get to learn everything from the fundamentals to advanced techniques, but you will also get to do it inside the walls of stillmotion. we are very excited to be able to offer and share this with you, and tie the date into the evolution experience, so those attending both can apply what they learn right away.
in each workshop we will be taking on a minimum of 6 people and a maximum of 9. which means you have to hurry up and call the studio to get your spot reserved!!!
we ask for the full price of $550 US upfront to secure a spot. you can reach me at the studio monday to friday at 647-477-5308 or 213-596-0885 or even better: jessica@stillmotion.ca
stillmotion + steadicam will provide you with all the gear you need. breakfast/lunch will also be provided.
choose to join us either october 25th + 26th. 09′ or march 21st + 22nd, ‘10.
don’t miss out on this amazing opportunity! this is going to be so cool that i will be getting into one of them myself to see what i can do with a steadicam :) just you wait. i’m going to show the boys how it’s really done!

some of you may have noticed that we have some links on the right hand side of the blog. one goes to our main site, while the other goes to stillmotionexperience.com. if you’ve tried to get to the experience site over the last week you probably encountered that rather annoying countdown timer once again. well, as of now, our awesome designers over at funnel.tv have just given us the green light for stillmotionexperience to go live.
this will be the place where we can announce all of the events we will be a part of, our in-studio evolution experience, as well as some really exciting new offerings we are proud to bring to the industry.
if your interested in an educational offering you don’t see listed there, please use the contact form on the site to send us your suggestions. bringing out the experience to australia was brought about solely by others who expressed enough interest in having us there.
we feel a great sense of gratitude to all of those who were a part of our first two evolution experiences. while we hope that the experience provided inspiration for you, it was the inspiration that all of you gave to us that really led to the creation of this new site. from greg’s unrelenting enthusiasm, to steve’s humor, lawrence’s past life as a body builder, to nicole’s very moving words about what she sees in the art we produce, everything came together to make this an unbelievable experience for all of us.
thank you to our official stillmotion models vicky of vicky + ricky. thank you to allie + thomas, tiffani + ryan, jen, sandy, jessica, and stella + chi (who drove quite the distance) who all added such a warm energy to the experience as our models.
most of all, thank you to jaime of blueprint events. without her passion, energy, and lack of sleep, we wouldn’t have been able to pull everything together in nearly the same fashion as we did. she single handedly ensured that everybody had transportation, accomodations, she scouted out the best venues for food, brought in awesome catering, had coffee and drinks ready for us daily, and still found time to deal with some last minute changes when the bad weather hit so that nothing skipped a beat. so thank you jaime for your amazing talent and for everything you have done for all of us.

On the weekend, I had the pleasure of running a workshop at Pikto, a print lab in the Distillery District of Toronto.
My voice is still a little hoarse… speaking from 10 to 5 for two days straight is no easy task, but it was fun like you wouldn’t believe. I had a class of 13, all of whom had different levels of experience – from 30 years of film background to freshly-out-of-school enthusiasm. The entire group was a blast. They were totally involved, asking questions every 2 minutes! They probably talked more than I did! So awesome. John also came as a guest speaker to discuss some ideas about business development. He was a big hit – so big, that he was invited to develop and run a marketing related workshop with Pikto. I wanted to send out a big thanks to Michelle from Pikto who was a huge help throughout the weekend. From getting us all coffee to being an awesome photo assistant, she really went out of her way for us. I also wanted to thank Jaime, Sandy, Milena and Sam for coming out and modeling for our shoot in the alleys. Jaime, as most of you know, got married last July. Sandy is due to marry Mark in about a month, and Sam & Milena are still about a year away. Here are a few shots from Sunday. Milena wore her mom’s wedding dress, which I thought was the COOLEST THING EVER!! Oh, and you’ll notice that Sandy’s photos have a bit of a different spin… but everyone has different ways of dealing with wedding stress. :) -Amina

Thank you guys for your amazing presentation and for opening my mind to new possibilities. Your work is amazing.
Caught you guys at the Canon booth. My friend Julie knew this was an area I wanted to research and have an interest in. You guys opened my mind and the possibilities. Thank you for the inspiration and seeing your amazing work. I have a video camera and my pro cameras, but next purchase will be the canon 5D mark 11. Love it!!!
i’ve been following you guys for a while, and i’m curious to know why you are shooting cinema. only recently you’ve been starting to talk about it.
Hey guys! I was at your speech at the Canon booth at WPPI. I love your work/skills! Keep up the awesome work.
