Liquid Motion Underwater Film Academy Recommendation by Gates CEO John Ellerbrock

“Every professional has their “Book of Secrets”. Guy is sharing his 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 :-)”

“Check out Guy’s revolutionary trim system on this short film – https://youtu.be/RsH-g2rTjN

He says “I want to be able to trim pitch and roll perfectly in one or two seconds without moving weights. My system allows to re-trim on the fly, so to speak, even when readjusting lighting or when the current in hitting the housing at different angles. Also great for one hand shoot. It offers a stable housing in the shooting angle you want, without having to apply pressure to the handle. It greatly reduces any jitter from the operator and helps create very stable footage.”

“Guy has authored many professional underwater film training courses and posted a number of highly informative videos about filming underwater on youtube, where he shares a wealth of experience and tips for shooting underwater. From how to get the colour right when shooting underwater to tips for shooting underwater video, how to get the best shot, how to stabilise underwater footage, how to get the colour right when shooting underwater, making great underwater sound and foley to how to make better underwater films in general, the videos are bring a wealth of information to beginners and professionals alike” – you can subscribe to the channel here: https://www.youtube.com/liquidmotionfilm

“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…”
