FMC101 -DIGITAL FILM SCHOOL: It's a digital world, baby! Get up to speed on the fastest growing sector in film production.

Learn how digital filmmaking is breaking down traditional barriers and giving filmmakers, new and old, the kind of exposure unheard of in the past.

Highly recommended as a first step into the industry. If you only intend to take one filmmaking course in your lifetime, this is it!

WHAT IT IS: An intensive 1-day event

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN: The inside scoop on the filmmaking process, from hard facts about the process to tips for a successful creative collaboration.

In the Morning
Preparation and DV Gear! Get up close to digital cameras, lenses, tripods, tape stock, power, wireless microphones and digital sound recording equipment. The equipment you'll need for your own projects. We focus on professional feature production technique, costs and methods, including how to light scenes for digital video and how to make the most effective use of your budget. You'll get plenty of "Pro" tips and tricks of the trade. Explore the cost pros and cons that go into the real-life decisions filmmakers make every day.

After Lunch
Shoot and Edit a Real DV Movie! Join the crew, as you learn about camera placement, DV lighting, running a hot set, and how to record great digital production sound. Once shooting is complete, it's digital editing time. We'll assemble our footage, while discovering the nuts and bolts of editing digital formats, comparing the various types of PC and Mac-based NLE equipment, audio capture, titling and special effects.

Wait, there's more!
Intro to Post Sound - DV to Film and Web Marketing. Great sound is essential. Find out how to build a professional audio soundtrack as the mysteries of re-recording Dolby Stereo, 5.1 surround (SDDS, DTS, Dolby Digital), THX, the X-Curve and the Dominator are revealed. Discover the process and costs of converting digital video footage to film for theatrical and festival screenings. Before we wrap, there is time for a distribution overview, including festival submissions, creating a DV film look, and marketing on the Web.
