This semester-long “how-to” workshop covers all major aspects of film and video production and supports participants in the completion of short individual projects.
Bring your project ideas and get instruction in scriptwriting, production planning, digital video, sound recording, lighting and editing. The workshop will meet on Wednesday evenings and Saturdays, with additional time for shooting and editing projects. Participants will work together as crew on each others’ projects. Two instructors, each with their own area of expertise, will co-teach this workshop.
Participants with projects who are interested in registering must submit a brief written description about their proposed project for the 14-week workshop and are required to meet with one of the instructors prior to the workshop. Non-fiction projects exploring personal visions, social issues and/or community life, under 10 minutes in length, are encouraged. Please note there is limited space for participants without projects who wish to attend the workshop training sessions and serve on crews for other projects.

Shooting on a “green screen” is the technique of shooting your subject against a green background that is later “keyed” out to replace the background with different footage. This workshop introduces you to the basics of setting up a green screen, lighting, shooting and the post-production process of working with green screen footage. You will shoot original footage and learn how to key the green screen in Final Cut Pro
