Skiing Video Feedback
As part of the All Mountain Performance courses we're doing, AMP offers Video Feedback of client's skiing as a teaching tool. Basically, the instructor shoots some film of the group over the course of the day and in the evenings everyone meets up in the bar to watch it. Mark goes through and analyses the groups' skiing with a view to giving everyone something to think about for next time.
It works really well. It's very useful as a teaching tool, and watching yourself ski on video in the bar at the end of the day over a beer brings everyone together and rounds off the day nicely. I've used the resulting footage in a quite a few of my films from last year, but now I'm trying to do something different.
I want to make a film which sums up what video feedback is and how good it is by filming a client during the process. They are sitting watching themselves skiing while my camera is focused on their reaction and Mark's analysis of their skiing. I think that to put all this together into a short film of around 2 minutes should give a prospective client a comprehensive idea of what the video feedback is, developing the feature from something cool that clients are fairly surprised about to a Unique Selling Point that will drive more clients to come on the courses in the first place.
Anyhoo - that's the idea, and this short film is the proof of concept. I'm just trying out the idea to see if it's going to work. This stars Monique, one of the business owners who came on our taster weekend last Sunday. I think the concept is proven but what do you think? Does it give an idea of the feedback session? Does it look useful to you?
