Our Story

The Masters in Motion workshops offer soup to nuts training for filmmakers looking to push themselves, their craft, each other, into new and groundbreaking territories. Get your hands dirty with industry heavyweights, while they teach you all their mind bending, aperture dialating tips, tricks & philosophies on modern filmmaking. This is brass tacks learning, no fuss, no muss.

The blog section is how it all started. As we began to embrace what has forever changed the filmmaking community, DSLRs, we wanted to share what we were learning from our various shoots and edits. Shoot Edit Learn quickly evolved into a community of independent filmmakers wanting to share their experiences and knowledge.

As the blog grew and continuing our education became more imperative, the Masters In Motion workshops were created. In an environment that is filled with educational events, we set out to develop filmmaking workshops that went beyond the basics and focused on more than just gear. Eric Kessler from Kessler Crane has always been one of the biggest supporters of filmmakers and we’re thrilled to have him as a partner for our workshops. We feel incredibly fortunate to be doing what we love and a lot of the people that we’ve met along the road we still consider great friends. Masters In Motion has become more than blog and  bigger than a workshop. The community that has grown out of this has become a family.

We hope that you enjoy the site.
