Course Description

In this “post production” course you will move quickly from basic to advanced editing techniques and then jump to animation, motion graphics and visual effects. Whether your goal is to edit a captivating story, create a music video worthy of MTV or produce visual effects that will leave the audience saying, “how’d they do that?” this class will give you the skills you need. You’ll immerse yourself in tools like Final Cut Studio 2 and Adobe After Effects--the same tools used by Hollywood pros.

Students are encouraged to bring their own footage from home or from other courses.
