About the event
Before we hit the BMX pump track for the main workshop, jump into this fun and practical pre-event Zoom session designed to help you feel confident with your camera settings before shoot day.
Hosted by Joanne Stephan, this relaxed online session is perfect for photographers and videographers wanting to better understand how to set up their cameras for fast-paced BMX action video.
We’ll break down video settings in a simple and easy-to-understand way so you can spend less time stressing about menus and more time focusing on creativity when we hit the track. This session is open to all camera brands and skill levels and is designed to make the main workshop experience way more enjoyable and productive.
Grab a drink, jump on Zoom, ask questions, and get your camera dialled in before the action starts 🎥🔥
