    Virtual Production: Digital Tools of the Trade
    Workshop sessions meet on Saturdays at 10AM-12PM, starting on October 16.

    Virtual Production—the art of mixing live-action footage with computer graphics in real time—is poised to create a major paradigm shift in the world of entertainment. With more and more major Hollywood productions utilizing Virtual Production techniques, it is extremely important that the next generation of filmmakers is taught using the tools of tomorrow. This course provides first-time Production students with a solid foundational understanding of the tools and techniques being used by cutting-edge filmmakers, such as pre-visualization and motion capture. Students will spend a large portion of the course working hands-on with Unreal Engine 4, a state-of-the-art 3D world-building tool that is currently being used by many of Hollywood’s top filmmakers to make feature films and television shows. Students will learn to build worlds from scratch populated by scenery and assets. This course relies heavily on small-group workshops to facilitate projects and allow for maximum one-on-one interaction between the instructor and students.

    Post-Production: The Art of the Cut
    Workshops meet on Wednesdays at 4:30PM-6:30PM PST, starting on October 13.

    Enter the editing room—where great films are either made or broken through the post-production process.The Art of the Cut will immerse students in both the technical and theoretical aspects of editing footage for film and television. In this course, students will learn to utilize editing software through a series of exercises and projects that will give them first-hand experience with creating works using the industry's editing processes. Students will finish the class boasting a portfolio of their own works, such as a music video created by cutting together raw industry footage provided by the instructor. Students will receive and incorporate feedback from the instructor to improve their editing skills and expand their ability to weave narrative through their editing workflow.
