The ROAM Retreat

The workshop is an incredible take on the average wedding videography educational experience. A gathering of motivated students all focused on community, growth, encouragement, and doing the most with what we are given. The retreat is designed to give you the tools necessary to go back out into the world and achieve your goals that have been sitting on standby!

an experience like no other

Nothing Compares to the Value You Receive at the ROAM Retreat

Our approach is a bit different here at ROAM. While most in person workshops cost more than what we charge for both the course and the retreat combined, we have found that our chief desire is to offer insane value. So many courses and experiences turn out to be a let down. Our financial decision are important, and we don't take that lightly. That's why ROAM is designed to give you the most bang for your buck.

7 In-Depth Modules Covering EVERYTHING You Need to Know

Editing is an art that some seem to not ever be able to improve in. In line with our mantra with ROAM, that creativity can be learned, this module includes over 20 videos on theory behind editing and hands on tips, tricks, techniques, and examples that will lead you down the path of realizing your ability to be creative with your edits.

While wedding films shouldn't ever have as epic of sound as the Transformer movies, shooting adventure elopements and destination weddings opens the door to so much more play with sound. In this module we learn how to create worlds with sound, mixing music with vow and speech audio, and laying sound effects to create stunning yet subtle vibes that will leave your listeners in awe. 

I'll let you in on a secret - good color starts with shooting in good light, but in this module I do my best to give you REAL examples in conditions where lighting may not have been perfect. With that said, there are still some stellar examples in this module. From d-log drone footage to natural, s-cinetone, and s-log footage, this module covers everything from color grading theory to scopes, masks and gradients, luts and hsl, and so much more. 

This is the "tell-all" that I am most excited about. Get a complete behind the scenes walkthrough of every step of shooting an elopement wedding day, from getting ready to first looks, to ceremony and portraits, I'm sure you'll glean incredible knowledge from this section. This section also includes gear preparation, shoot drone footage with couples in them (taken from the drone module), and information on shooting destination weddings as well.

Have you ever looked at my drones shots and thought, "how is he doing that movement? Why does that shot look so good? What settings is Stanton using when flying? Well in this module, I break it all down with informational videos as well as 4 real, in-field examples of me flying the drone. From Cabo to Iceland, from shooting venues to couples and landscapes, this course will leave you confident in your flying skills

Traveling for a wedding isn't as scary as one might think - in this module we break down traveling via airlines, booking travel, charging for travel, work permits and carnets, travel tips and tricks, and travel bags and gear. After watching the videos in this module you'll realize that travel isn't as big of a concern as one might imagine, especially when equipped with knowledge and preparedness.
