Raindance Montreal
Dawson College, Ampitheatre 4C1, 3040 Rue Sherbrooke West, Montreal
http://raindancecanada.com/raindance-montreal/

Today’s Groupon: for $55, you get a two-day introductory filmmaking course from Raindance Montreal (a $146.42 value, including HST). The course meets at Dawson College on Wednesday, June 29, from 6:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. and on Thursday, June 30, from 6:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m.

A cinematography, camerawork, and lighting workshop led by experienced cinematographer Douglas John Kropla, Raindance Montreal’s course breaks the daunting film-composition process into digestible lectures. New and emerging filmmakers will learn to step confidently behind a camera, rather than cowardly tackling it from the side, while delving into the basics of composition, framing, and movement. Concepts are illustrated through demonstration and hands-on practice, memorably imparting the power of lighting to set a mood or how camera movement can build tension during a sequence’s high-stakes piñata chase. Budding directors, producers, screenwriters, and camera wranglers can deepen their familiarity with occasionally intimidating equipment, allowing them to dive into filmmaking with elegance and ease.

If you have any questions or would like to contact the merchant, send an email to: montreal@raindancecanada.com.

Whack between 125 and 130 dimpled orbs from a choice of natural or synthetic grasses and gaze as they soar across the expansive range and into cooing cups. Following warm-ups, club sluggers can test their hand-eye-telekinesis coordination on nine beautiful holes bespeckled with bunkers and trickily charted fairways. The course and range are open in the evenings, so players can watch elusive double eagles take wing across picturesque sunsets.

Club Hotel Bourbon
1560, rue Ste-Catherine Est, Montreal
http://www.clubhotelmontreal.com/default.html

Today’s Groupon to Club Hotel Bourbon downtown. Choose between the following options:

For $7, you get $15 worth of American diner fare at Club Sandwich.
For $69, you get a one-night stay in a standard double room (a $155 value).
Club Sandwich flips crepes, burgers, and diner delicacies to soothe awaiting appetites. Examine the layers of a tuna club—comprising tuna, swiss cheese, and veggies ($10.99 single, $19.99 double)—for a sample of strata far tastier than the crunchier version below the earth’s surface. The eatery’s Thunderbird burger woos lips with cream cheese, alfalfa sprouts, mushrooms, green peppers, and onions atop a tasty beef bed ($9.99), which lacks only the embrace of two crepes swaddling sausage with pork and beans ($7.99). To further take in classic Americana, patrons can toss a coin into the jukebox or peruse photos of American stars, from Elvis Presley to Elvis Presley’s dentist.

Club Hotel Bourbon hospitably lodges travellers in standard double rooms. All 39 sanctuaries include private bathrooms, office areas, microwaves, 24-hour access to a helpful staff, and time machines to relive the restful stay. Log on to complimentary WiFi, gaze lovingly at satellite TV programming, or hop onto the conveniently adjacent metro to explore new corners of the city. The hotel’s expansive terraces also endow visitors with expansive city views and ample podiums for spontaneous public performances of Shakespeare’s rap repertoire.

1321, route Montagne d’Argent, La Conception, QC
http://www.adventureforever.net/

Today’s Groupon: for $65, you get a full-day introductory rock-climbing experience from Adventure Forever (a $130 value). Meet-up points for climbs are located in either Val-David or La Conception and are disclosed in more detail upon reservation.

Adventure Forever corrals curious climbers at a designated meeting place, then leads a drive and a short hike to a variety of climb sites chosen according to climbers’ skill levels. There, experienced instructors certified through the Association of Canadian Mountain Guides outfit climbers with all the gear needed to tackle nature’s gnarly landscapes and bad-day tantrums before leading climbing excursions. Climbers may wear their own athletic shoes or rent climbing shoes ($5) to experience the multiplicity of the cliffs’ granite surfaces, including uneven rock faces, which reward sprawling surmounters with breathtaking valley views. Climbers should bring a lunch and enough water for the nearly six-hour trip or gamble on the spotty service of mountain hot-dog vendors.

Entrees assemble prime cuts and fresh fish in a mélange of terrestrial diversity not unlike that of zoo discotheques. Poached salmon cutlets swim beneath a tasty sauce of vermouth and dill ($28 à la carte, $40 tasting), and a 6-ounce filet mignon of Angus beef reposes proudly beneath a brandy-and-three-pepper-sauce blanket ($38 à la carte, $50 tasting). Tasting menus run a flavoursome gamut, including soup, an appetizer, trou normand, an entree, a dessert, and filtered coffee. Patrons can bring their own wine, giving everyone at the table a chance to sample a family favourite or a home-brewed youth potion.

Zanna Strong Photography
1115 Lajoie, Outremont
http://zannastrongphotography.com/

Today’s Groupon: for $45, you get a two-hour instructional photo-walk excursion from Zanna Strong Photography (a $200 value).

Professional photographer Zanna Strong guides small groups into the urban milieu, providing one-on-one instruction to bolster students’ photo-snapping prowess. Each photo walk begins with a one-hour instructional training that delves into polishing camera basics such as aperture, shutter speed, white balance, and composition, ensuring photos are worthy of framing or tattooing. After the tutorial, photographers embark on a one-hour sojourn through Montreal with their cameras, training shooting fingers to function in a variety of settings. Photo walks embark Thursdays–Sundays from three locations: the Old Port, the Plateau, and Atwater Market. Tours are limited to five students each, ensuring personal attention and preventing stalemates when voting for the best alternate uses for 35 mm film. See the full schedule for a variety of day and time options.

Zanna Strong Photography happily accommodates students who wish to travel with a particular group of fellow photographers, which can be indicated when submitting one’s reservation by email. Students set out to capture the city’s visual marvels in any weather—rain or shine—though itineraries may move to covered locales in case of rain. Though bringing your own radiator is not recommended, clients should be prepared for inclement weather.
