One-Week Video Production class - ONLY A FEW SPOTS LEFT!
9/1/2010
In this one-week Certificate program, taking place September 13 to 17, you will learn how to produce professional-quality video using state-of-the-art equipment including cameras, audio and lighting gear. This comprehensive class will give you all the necessary skills to be a videographer in a professional environment!  This one-week intensive is designed to get you up to speed with using modern digital video cameras and lighting, with the ultimate intention of you finding work as a videographer or enabling your creative vision. The classes will take you through the "ins and outs" of shooting high-quality images with today's digital video cameras, both tape and tapeless. Of course, you'll learn the essentials like shutter speed, exposure, white balance, and composition, but we'll get much further than that by exploring and demonstrating how to get good professional audio using a variety of microphones, how to set up and create professional video lighting and recommended workflows for tape and tapeless acquisition to be ready for editing. Speaking of editing, you'll learn how to shoot for the edit - we'll show you what the editor needs for real-world, professional editing, essential to telling a good story.
