‘INFOTAIN’ YOUR TEAM ON THE ART OF FILM MAKING

The Make Your Own Film event is a prime example of multi-sensory, experience learning. An example on how we could align this experience to the preceding Leadership Development course would be to focus on The E’s and P of Leadership. Each group could concentrate on 2 principles. The film could contrast a leader working with Energy and Edge with one that does not. The same concept could be applied to a leader working with Passion and Ethics and one that has not developed these qualities to the same level. The process of ‘Brainstorming’, ‘Storyboarding’, ‘Personalising’ and ‘Dramatizing’ these qualities is a very new and effective approach to reinforce and embed to memory these lessons forever.

The actual process of film-making is very much a team effort. We have set out to improve communication, cooperation and goal orientated strategies. There is saying ‘that you are only as strong as your weakest link’ – this is certainly the case when making a film. The facilitators will explain the various roles of film crew members and team work involved.

The team will then have to delegate each of the roles, aligning with their core competences and personal qualities to ensure the best result is guaranteed. Many participants decide to undertake roles that stretch themselves out of their comfort zone and allow them to explore new sides of their personality. As a facilitator, it always amazes me how people who you think are quite quiet and reserved shine in front of the camera and others who you think would want to be actors are more interested in improving their technical skills with the camera.

And finally, each of the participants will have the film that will stay with them forever. They can show friends, family and colleagues this film and hopefully they might also be inspired to work more creatively, personally and professionally in the future.
This team building activity can be tailored to the groups budget and time allocation but our film tutors would advise on this activity lasting around 4 hours.

*******************************************************************************************************************

Everyone loves to watch themselves or their team members on film and showcasing this on the last day during or after dinner makes for fantastic evening entertainment. Following a brief introduction to film making by our guest director in the film studio, your group will be split in to small production crews to produce and shoot your very own short film.

As they say in the film business ‘time is money’ therefore each will be working under the guidance of a film-maker to storyboard, prepare the set, scouring the costume department for costumes and props. You will then have some valuable rehearsal time before arming yourselves with the camera, lighting and sound equipment….the sound of the clapper board signifies action is underway!

Once you have shot your film – the rushes will be sent to the editing room to be seamlessly woven together before being premiered the following day. The grand premier of the films can be tailored to your needs – whether it be before your evening meal or on the bus back to the airport.

All in all an awesome day for everyone both in terms of informing people about film making as well as encouraging people to work in teams to achieve their number one goal – a quality film to help remember their experience

This fun, interactive and engaging experience is great for groups from 20 to 50 people and allows everyone to take home a unique souvenir from their visit to any City….their very own film!

In this creative team building event, you can choose the content / subject of the film. You may want it to be business related (an advert, corporate promotional video, new product launch,) or alternatively want to have total creative control with a set theme relating to what you have learned about yourselves and each other during your incentive.

You will apply your knowledge and understanding of your colleagues’ strengths and weaknesses when delegating film crew roles:

• Director – The Boss – controls the team. Acts almost as the leader / creator
• Script Writer – The Secretary – documents and shares the golden nuggets of information.
• Story Board – The Artist
• Camera Assistant – The Visualiser
• Camera Assistant no 2 / clapper board operator
• Art Director / Make Up / Continuity – The Creative Edge
• Actor – The story teller
• Actor – The reactor.

The workshop will not only focus on sharing technical skills used in film-making but will also highlight the following:

· Raising awareness of how inspiration works and promoting creativity
· Offering tools for inspired communication
· Communicating with passion for an uninspiring directive
· Overcoming challenges to change
· Techniques to motivate themselves and others
· Help identify personal style
· Explore individual strengths and weaknesses
· Understand how delegates function as leaders and team players

*******************************************************************************************************************

LINKING TO THE BUSINESS
This team-building activity really helps emphasize the understanding of the importance or working together for a common goal. By each playing a part in the production of the film, without factions or divisive elements we hope that these lessons will be reflected in the work space.
KEY LEARNING POINTS
All roles within the team are of equal importance. For the film to be a success everyone must give 100%
New ways of communicating within a team, whether it be through pictures, dialogue or acting.
Explore new sides of their own personality taking on roles within film making that they would never imagined being capable of.
RESULTS
A wonderful souvenir film
Stronger interpersonal relationships within the team
The importance of working collectively for a shared goal

    This was an amazingly epic experience! While visiting Riga, my husband and I booked the bobsleigh excursion with Riga... Guide. Wow, what a ride! Highly recommended. Riga Guide was fantastic with returning emails and answering and questions and concerns we had. Our tour guide, Ilia, was fantastic. He was punctual, delightful and very personable. At the track he graciously took pictures and a video of us heading down the track. He made this excursion even more enjoyable. Highly recommend Riga Guide and the Bobsleigh Excursion!!!read more

    Steph, our guide, was absolutely brilliant. Picked us up from our hotel and told us all about Riga on the commute to... and from the bobsleigh track. The g-force bobsleigh was amazing (it feels like a roller-coaster) and we didn't have to wait long. There's also an observation deck where you can view the national park. The only downside was an error by the office staff overcharging us for the experience, which put a downer on the day, as I was told I wasn't able to do the bobsleigh unless we paid more. This was eventually resolved by the owner when he apologised for the error and confirmed no further payment was needed. I advise you pay the balance in full before the trip to avoid incompetent staff trying to overcharge you.read more

    Ilya, the guide who picked me up to take me to the Bobsleigh track, was superb. He was in great communication with me... on his way to pick me up and even sent me recommendations of places to eat afterwards. He was lovely and I cannot fault him.Unfortunately, the actual experience was awful. I had paid a lot of money to ride a vuchko down the bobsleigh track, when making my booking I made the company aware that I was going to be alone. I was charged a significant amount more than what was stated on their website which I didn't mind as I understood that I was being charged the full group price which would normally be split between the members of the group. But when I got to the bobsleigh track they insisted that I had to pay an extra €15 to ride the vuchko where you face headfirst as I wasn't able to ride the seated one, being on my own. I was only told this after my ride so I had no choice other than to pay it.I was clearly the last person to visit and ride on the track for the day as it was very rushed. Considering the amount of money that I paid for this experience I would expect to be given a little time to have a picture taken or look around the track in more detail. I was shoved into a vuchko, pushed off onto the track, dragged off the track and taken back to the car to go back to the hotel.I feel slightly cheated out of the money that I paid. The only positive was that Ilya, the guide, was so friendly and positive.read more

    A surreal experience for anyone who has never held/shot a gun in his/her life. It was scary but weirdly exciting. Sure... to get the adrenaline pumping! Picked up and dropped back off at the hotel. The shooting range is set inside in closed off rooms. Very nice people, and very flexible - if you want to shoot a different weapon, you can browse the catalog there and pay extra on sight.read more

    The Riga Guide team were fantastic in helping me organise a Stag Do for 27 people. They are very responsive and helpful... over email and quick to suggest alternatives if something doesn't work out (for example due to bad weather or traffic). They made what could have been a very stressful trip loads of fun and I'm very grateful - I'd definitely recommend using them for group trips. Steph and Irina were particularly helpful! Thank you!read more
