01 / The workshop

From paddock to post.

01 / ACCESS

Find your first event

Hear how I got started, how to choose an event, who to reach out to and what to ask about filming access.

02 / COVERAGE

Show up with a shot plan

Plan shots across the paddock and track so you leave with enough material to tell the story of the day.

03 / EDIT

Break down a race-day reel

Walk through how I build a sequence, where engine sound carries the edit and how I approach color.

04 / PAID GIGS

Land your first paying clients

Talk through who to approach at race events, what to offer drivers and teams, and how to turn your motorsport edits into paid work.

02 / Behind the camera

Meet your hosts.

Ethan Felts

I film cars and motorsports. Trackside is where I’ll share the decisions behind the edits, starting with the question I keep coming back to in my videos: how do you get started filming motorsports?

Ryan Levenson

Ryan is a motorsport filmmaker who’s landed paying clients and consistently fills his calendar with race events. In the workshop, he’ll share the straightforward strategy he uses to find clients and book race weekends.
