“You’ll create more than you ever thought possible”
“As an experienced diver, underwater Filmmaker and Cameraman, Guy has an extensive knowledge of the underwater environment and of animal behavior, and he is also a true Artist. The Liquid Motion Professional UW Camera Operator course is unique in the world. It has made a transformational impact on my underwater film making career”
See what others are saying
“Anita & Guys 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.”
“Liquid Motion made me realise that my dream really was actually tangible! Guy taught me the core techniques of underwater cinematography, and opened my eyes to the sheer scope of creative possibility when it comes to both film and photography. He’s taught me to look at every environment I’m in and ask myself ‘how would I capture this moment?’ Guy and Anita equipped me with all the skills and creative flare that I needed to work professionally, and gave me the confidence and an even larger spark of passion for my journey”
“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!. Whether beginner or professional, learning from Guy and Anita is a uniquely productive journey, and an amazing, highly personal experience”.
