Bolt On: Professionally Shot Footage
We are offering students on this course the opportunity to receive professionally shot, high quality footage for their showreels. You can choose a select number of the techniques you have learnt on the different aerial rigs and systems to shoot. With our instructors and your fellow students, you can also create and rehearse choreography around the techniques if you wish. There will be time allocated during the second and third day of the course to shoot each sequence from one or two angles, time permitting.
The unedited, raw footage will be provided after the course for you to do with as you wish. This is a bolt on service, in addition to the course price. If chosen at the time of enrolment, this service will cost an additional £50.00. This price increases to £75.00 (and can be payable by cash on the day) if you decide you’d like this service after submitting your enrolment.
Bolt ons can be added when at our checkout in Jumbula.
