REVIEW OF THE PROFESSIONAL UNDERWATER CAMERA OPERATOR COURSE (+ VIP DIVING) BY DANIEL DUE JENSEN

Daniel Due Jensen reviews Professional Underwater Camera Operator Course Liquid Motion Underwater Film Academy

“Ever since I first saw BBC the Blue Planet, when I was a little boy, I wanted to be that guy who got the beautiful underwater footage. It was in my mind when I started my company, Blue Dove Media back in 2015, as a Camera Operator and Set Lighting Technician. And now I am that guy!

After I had gotten some experience as a Camera Operator I started looking into diving. I got my diving license and worked on my diving.

Then in 2019 I looked into getting a course in Professional Underwater Filmmaking, but everything I found was at an unprofessional level or not available to people outside of the ASC or SOC. And then I found Liquid Motion Academy…”

“Within just a few days Guy took me from a novice to a pro underwater camera operator, getting consistent beautiful footage.””

“I wrote a simple e-mail and Anita quickly got in touch with me and worked out everything from the course to accommodation. I told her what I would like to do in the business and she knew exactly what parts of the course I needed. I also chose to stay in Cozumel for an extra 7 days to get the diving and camera handling perfect – looking back, that was a wise decision.

Fast forwards 5 months and I stand on Cozumel meeting Guy for the first time.

We went straight into action with the first lesson of the Professional Underwater Camera Operator Course, and the next day we went diving.”

“Cozumel was a very different place to dive, compared to what I was used to.

Guy instantly saw what I needed and we went for 2 dives without the camera, so that I could get used to the current, warm water and incredible visibility.

Then, within just a few days Guy took me from a novice to a pro underwater camera operator, getting consistent beautiful footage!.

Even if you don’t take the underwater courses, then do take the VIP diving. You’ll get the best diving and filming of your life with Guy getting you to all the good spots on the reef, be free to do what you want and not have to follow a guide that has to take care of more divers who all want to do different things. With Guy, if you want to stay at 5m at the same spot, no problem, if you want to go deep and see what is down there, no problem. It’s all about you and what you want to achieve. And he makes it happen.

Thank you Liquid Motion Academy, Guy and Anita, you have given me a huge amount of knowledge in a very short time and opened my eyes for what I need to do next”

“Ever since I first saw BBC the Blue Planet, I wanted to be that guy who got the beautiful underwater footage. And now I am that guy!”

"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…”
