“Guy Chaumette: A Living Legend and Master at his Craft”

MY UNDERWATER FILMMAKING CAREER COURSE & UNDERWATER PHOTOGRAPHY CAREER COURSE

Review of Professional Underwater Filmmaking Career Course & Professional Underwater Photography Career Course by Jerry Gordon

“On top of mastering the art of Underwater Photography & Filmmaking, The Fish Behavior Specialty Course material and dives were amazing!  I have always considered myself to be an observant diver, but after taking the course, I have a much better understanding of what I am observing and in particular, how to incorporate more fish behaviour into my photography and filmmaking – and know when to be ready to shoot!”

“The VIP diving with Guy alone is some of the best I have experienced in all my diving years, especially given the frequency and close encounters with marine life we had on all of the dives.  The marine park in Cozumel is a very special place to learn and practice the techniques needed to capture both large and small creatures up close and personal.  I believe that Guy has been diving in Cozumel for so long that the fish have just accepted him as part of their overall “school” in the marine park!”

“Anita was amazing with all of the logistics to make my two-month stay in Cozumel effortless and a truly enjoyable, life-changing experience!  Communications, information on travel and lodging, and tips on daily living were nothing short of exceptional, timely, and everything always happened very smoothly.  The people of Cozumel are very friendly and I look forward to my next visit back to the island!  A very special thanks goes out for the incredible hospitality shown by Anita, Guy, and Crystelle during this adventure and what is undoubtedly the start of a new, memorable journey”

"Liquid Motion’s combined decades of real world experience creates a practical and powerful learning crucible for the aspiring underwater cameramen and working professional alike. You learn far more than underwater camera techniques. You learn how to succeed. Every professional has their “Book of Secrets”. Anita and Guy are sharing their lifetime of experience, and this is just one example of that wisdom. Think “Tailored Master Class”: One-on-one training in the beautiful tropical blue Cozumel Marine Park ?”

John Ellerbrock

“Truly enlightened teaching that raises the bar. There is absolutely no substitute for one-on-one personalized instruction delivered hands-on by a Master… The Academy provides truly enlightened teaching, delivered by a teacher and world-leading artist, who has a unique ability to convey his techniques and sensibilities, both “topside” and underwater and whose passion for his work is clear. Every detail was tailored to me, and focused always on what, to me, is most important. The pace was always tailored to my personal interests, aptitude and energy. I learnt more than I could ever imagine. There is absolutely no comparison."

Jeremy Cohen

"Liquid Motion’s Underwater Film Courses are unique in the world. Tailored to the needs of the student, mine covered every aspect of UW film production and camera work. The instructor, Guy Chaumette is a world-famous Artist, committed to the success of every student. This course made a huge impact on my UW film making career”

Dan Bailey

“I chose Liquid Motion Academy over The L.A. Film School, because I wanted to learn more than just Filmmaking; I wanted to learn the art of film – stories, creation with freedom, how to portray emotion, how to make a difference. It’s incredible how much I learnt about filmmaking and photography, on land and underwater, in such a short time! I highly recommend LMA to anyone, it was a uniquely productive journey, and an amazing, highly personalised experience, that quickly led me to a career in the industry”

Karan Saini

“I learnt more in 9 days than I have ever learned by myself in 50 years – and I did not even have to read a manual!. The opportunity to learn what I did with the people I did made the trip a once in a life time event”….

Steve Cohen

“I’ve been on trips and courses with ‘Professional Underwater Videographers’ over the years, but they have never even approached this high level of education and learning. The experience with Liquid Motion has been amazing! The training was 100% the best. Guy is always at your disposal, diving for you, not just with you, and a constant source of incredible information. He knew right away where I could improve, and completely adapted to my specific needs. I have never learnt so much in such a short time!….”

Bernat Garrigos

"As a professional, I learnt more in the past week than I have in the last 10 years! The film programs are about so much more than just the technical. They are about the difference between video footage and film.."

Tim Kirkpatrick

“The philosophy of the Academy was different than anything I’ve ever experienced before. Really there are no words to describe the inspired learning and joy I felt about this trip. Anita & Guy were so attentive and their passion and enthusiasm shines through all they do. Guys mission is your success. He is a wealth of information and he eagerly shares his vast expertise. It was an inspiring, life-changing experience. I can’t wait to come back and work with Guy and Anita again!”..

Pec Indman

“My Hollywood-based company specialises in underwater filming, and being up to date with all the latest and best skills are vital to my business. Liquid Motion’s Guy Chaumette is considered by most as one of the very best Filmmakers in the profession. I was honoured to dive and film alongside him. He helped me hone my diving techniques, and gave a me a new set of camera and film skills that I will use for life. If you are looking for valued, trusted, completely professional underwater cinematography training, Liquid Motion Academy is the only place to go…”
