Filming under sail. Floating Film Studio
Filming while sailing, filming while sailing – a film studio on the sailing barge de Lis.
Do you love sailing, being on the water, and do you have a love for film, light, and sound? During this weekend and at the 24-hour race, it is a full moon. And in the spring, the light on the water is even more special.
Filming Under Sail is a film studio on the sailing barge De Lis from Muiden. In this multi-day masterclass, we combine sailing with filming, paying attention to observing changing light, sound, and focus. Furthermore, we sail and stay on the atmospheric sailing barge De Lis, with comfortable sleeping accommodations in the double cabins.
Film lecturer: Marieke Rodenburg, documentary filmmaker (Philming) Skipper: Leon Oosterbroek of sailing barge de Lis
During these days, you will learn or deepen your film skills and work on a cinematic production, either your own or a joint one. Whether it becomes a personal, informative, nature, or experimental film, the studio focuses on visual storytelling, (learning) to think, and exploring a translation into film. In short, a sailing, cinematic creative exploration on board!
Technical aspects serve the story: camera work and composition, lighting), use of sound, (basic) editing (support), and depend on your experience.
Who: (Aspiring) storytellers with ambitions in visual storytelling. Basic knowledge of camera and editing is helpful, but not required. Naturally, for sailing enthusiasts or anyone who enjoys being on the water. Sailing experience is not necessary, but a desire and willingness to help with sailing is.
Language of instruction: Dutch (English available if desired)
Where: We sail out of the home port of the Lis, Muiden, onto the Markermeer. Depending on the weather, we spend the night at anchor or at an island.
