WORKSHOPS
2ND AD CROWD WORKSHOP
Yet again the ADU hosts another exceptional workshop as the 2nd AD Crowd plays a very important part in the AD department in every project. This seminar paints a holistic picture of all duties, tasks & responsibilities from prep until wrap and explores the equal involvement into the creative and logistical parts of the job.
CROWD 2nd AD – Learn all important tasks and how to structure & prioritize your workflow.
This is your chance to benefit from years of experience of the lecturers who have worked on international productions such as ‘BABYLON BERLIN’, ‘TRIBUTES OF PANEM’, ‘1899’ and many more.
The Workshop will be split into 5 days, spanning over two weekends.

PAST
Jour Fixe “Meet the ADs of ‘All Quiet on the Western Front'” on January 4th from 19:00 - 21:00
We will have the pleasure to spend two hours with 1st AD 1st AD Benedict Hoermann (ADU), Key 2nd AD Filip Moravec, Crowd 2nd AD Valerie Adamer (ADU), und 3rd Base AD Viktorie Vavrova and they will share their experience of working on “All Quiet on the Western Front” with us! This is a great opportunity to get rare insights into their project, ask them questions, learn about their biggest challenges and profit from their experience.
This Zoom Call will be recorded so it can be watched by our members afterwards who can’t make the date. Still there need to be at least 6 people attending the Jour Fixe live, otherwise the Q&A and the recording of the Jour Fixe doesn’t produce any interesting results. Please watch the film in advance (the content will be spoilered in the Jour Fixe anyway). Everyone who is interested is invited no matter if the colleagues are ADU members. So please reserve your spot (by sending an email to training@ad-union.org), invite friends and colleagues and come up with some questions you want to get answered.
KEY 2ND AD WORKSHOP
The ADU is very proud to present this unique workshop which is dedicated to one of the most crucial positions in the AD-team.
It is a combined online- and in-person seminar over two weekends which will immerse you deeply into the world of the Key 2nd AD and will allow you to explore all their duties, tasks & responsibilities thoroughly from early prep until wrap.
Apart from all the technical and practical things that you will learn, you will have the priceless opportunity to be trained by two internationally acclaimed and prestigious Key 2nd ADs and benefit from their decades of experience. The seminar will also include guests speakers (1st ADs, Production Coordinators, etc.) to provide a holistic picture of the work of a Key 2nd AD.
The Workshop will be split into 5 days, spanning over two weekends.

UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE
– Cancellation: STUNT-WORKSHOP –
Unfortunately the ADU had to cancel the workshop due to the rising covid cases in Germany. Even with 2G+ hygiene measures we don’t wan’t to put any participants, lecturers, stuntmen and women and organisers at risk of an infection. This is not conceivable for us in the current situation.
We will try to realise the workshop at a later point next year and communicate the new date as soon as possible.
At this point we wan’t to apologise to all participants for the short notice cancellation.
