Training and Expeditions

Alister is a highly regarded educator. He has run workshops around the world for schools, universities, production companies and individuals. He runs workshops on all aspects of video production including 3D. In addition throughout the year Alister runs a number of exciting expeditions that combine a real adventure with the chance to learn new video skills or improve your existing abilities. Some of these are run in conjunction with the F-Stop Academy. Even if you feel your skills are up to date these expeditions also provide the opportunity to film in exciting or unusual locations. They are almost always a great deal of fun and the cost of the trips is often less than comparable tourist excursions.

The value and fun that these trips represent can be seen from the fact that many people come back year after year.

In January/February/March there are trips to Norway and Iceland to film the Northern Lights and arctic scenery. April/May/June is Tornado season and Alister runs trips to the USA to chase the spectacular “Supercell” storms that produce incredible lightning displays, giant hail and tornadoes. Throughout the year Alister likes to keep an eye on what’s going on and other trips are often arranged at the last minute when opportunities present themselves. August and September is monsoon season in Arizona, USA. If you like lightning then this is the place to go as the dry desert air gives incredible visibility, not normally seen.

More details of any up and coming workshops and trips will be posted on this page.
