01 / The workshop
From paddock to post.
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.
Break down a race-day reel
Walk through how I build a sequence, where engine sound carries the edit and how I approach color.
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.
