The Filmmakers Workshop - a place for all things filmmaking, original content and events.
Filmmaking is constantly evolving and though the original content and events held by FW, filmmakers can share, collaborate and get a fresh perspective on their creative journey.
As a GH6 user I feel the cam got swept under the rug on its launch. Now with the GH7 announced and receiving positive reviews I thought I’d make a video and share some perspective for GH5 and 6 users.
The GH7 was announced this week, so to make it easier to find out all the details we have taken 7 varied YouTube channels reviews and added our own take on w...

An introduction to the work we do at the Birkdale Paediatric & Adult Neuro Physio Clinic
Earlier this month, February 2024 I had the pleasure of producing content for the UK SkillCourt Team. SkillCourt is an incredible fitness training system which utilises lidar and laser technology to create interactive, cognitive and physical games for a wide range of users. Check it out (after you have read this post ; ) skillcourt.training/uk/
Tasked to film several hours of presentation in both the morning and afternoon, audience interaction, gameplay and reaction, I decided to bring in fellow filmmaker Seb Pecchia to build out my team. In fast paced, one off scenarios with multiple cameras, there's no place or time to compromise. You have to get the coverage and you absolutely must have great audio. On my own, this could and probably would have been a struggle.
SkillCourt is used by many fitness clubs, leading sports teams and special forces units and as such the beautiful software provides tailored gamification and focus to improve both cognition, reaction time and physical health. It helps teams come together, better.
With my array of Lumix full frame and DJI specialty cameras, all shooting 10 bit video, we comprehensively covered the event showing off this incredible technology. The full frame 6k Lumix cameras providing huge flexibility and options in the edit. Working around the audience and presenters, the small DJI Pocket 3, gimbal camera got many shots. Being light and portable, it can get very high, or low shots quickly and safely. It may sound like a cliche but the Pocket 3 is a game changer for social media production.
Together then, the extra pair of hands, the DJI Pocket 3 and the fantastic SkillCourt system all provided huge value to this production.
For every event, take one for the Team.
On the 30th - 31st of January 2024 SKILLCOURT was launched to the UK market. Held at the prestigious The Kia Oval, London. The event was a huge success.
The DJI pocket 3 is an incredible, capable small camera for creators and corporate filmmakers. There’s a few little things that could be ironed out in firmware. Here’s Adam Loretz with the deeds.
I bought the Creator combo the day it came out and have used it on every corporate gig since, in the UK, Norway and Finland and I here are my thoughts on it.
