Sachtler Announces Three Artemis Workshops

Sachtler has revealed that three more artemis workshops will be held this year, offering operators the chance to learn how to use the camera stabiliser systems from operator and artemis developer Curt O. Schaller.
The workshops will be held at the Sachtler Academy in Eching near Munich from August 27 to 30, Atomic Imaging Studios in Chicago, from September 25 to 29, and at the RED Studios in Los Angeles, from December 5 to 8.
"To get the most from the (artemis) system, skilled operation is essential and opens up completely new creative possibilities," a statment from Sachtler said.
The artemis workshops begin with a theoretical introduction to basic professional operating and a presentation of the entire system.
The program encompasses the professional configuration of the sled, vest, and spring arm.
Special operation and walking techniques are taught and intensively practiced in the workshop under supervision.
Additionally, workshop participants will be prepared for practical situations, including wireless focusing, communicating with the director and the actors as well as filming scenes.
According to workshop graduate, Camera Operator Robert Cain: "The artemis workshop has given my skills as a steadi operator an enormous boost. I can recommend it to anyone who is really serious about filmmaking."
