Documentary Production Training videos

Production Training in the 21st Century 

Shoot • Edit • Broadcast in a single day.

This is the beginning of the process, not just of shooting, editing, and broadcast, but a way of life that involves global travel and independent filmmaking on any subject under or beyond the sun.  This instruction is a tool for freedom and prosperity.  It is a way to have fun, being of service, making money, making a difference... for yourself, others and humanity, for people, nature and whatever concept of spirit that you have. Prepare yourself for the adventure of a lifetime. 

"Video is by far the most important and lucrative industry of the 21st century." -TIME Magazine

Decide on what you want to do or film or say.  Or use existing Music, Footage, Story, or Photos.  Video can promote, support, fund, add to or take away from any other art, craft, idea, business, or cause. The videos below are snippets of wisdom that have come to me from time to time. Rarely has there been anyone around with a camera when this happens. 

Fortunately, there was this time and each of these video snippets provides the most simple, concise and important aspects of production. We are working from the basics on up to extremely advanced production for local and global communication, public service, survival, education and the ecology including economic prosperity. For these reasons and more these videos are dedicated to those brave, passionate men and women who dare to care to make a movie about something that is important- beautiful, creative or simply expressive... from the body, mind, heart, and soul. I shot rudimentary videos that required no editing. They are all ready to upload to the web because they were shot with the video function of a still camera.  Most consumer-grade cameras have both video and still capture capability. I want to both broadcast these and have them available on the web for people to see who randomly come across them, for those who are searching for production training and for those whom I want to email directly with a link to one or more of the production training video snippets or segments. In this way, people of all ages, backgrounds, and skill levels may begin experiencing the essence of production, movie-making, adventure documentary, and other applications of shooting, editing, and broadcasting images and sound from people and nature. Enjoy. And please share this power wisely. 

"Men seek power and men seek perfection... if only they knew that love is the power of perfection." -David Lakota I logged onto Gmail and created a Blog, a weblog to post these trainings. 

I also bought a couple of domain names so that it may function similarly and in many ways better than a conventional web site. Now I am going to log-on to this site and begin uploading the videos. First I have to find them. I think I put them on an EHD (External Hard Drive).

Advanced Survival & Multi-Media Production

There are two main areas of curriculum the Alaska Film School is making available to both online and in-person production enthusiasts. Those who are primarily interested in Survival may contact Tom Brown, Jr.'s Tracker School, the largest and likely the best wilderness school in the world. However, the staff to student ratio is extreme I hear.

Advanced Survival Training as taught by the Alaska Film School is designed to be used by aspiring producers so they may better navigate and survive in both urban and remote wilderness environments, especially unknown areas or countries.

The outlines for each of these two areas of curriculum are listed below. Please note that this training works well for anyone, especially those who want a deeper, more profound connection to Spirit, Self and Nature. And multi-media production is one artform that can promote and support any other form of art, craft, business, idea or cause.

Any questions or comments, contact me via the Girdwood Charter School at (907) 540-0453.
