About Avid

Avid

As of Winter ’13 the NW Film Center School of Film is teaching Avid Media Composer in all its classes.

What does this mean? The Avid Media Composer is our featured digital editing software for classes and rentals.

Why is it special? Avid Media Composer 6.5 is the current state-of-the-art standard in professional film editing.  It is used professionally to edit everything from feature films to commercials.

How can I learn Avid? Our courses range from providing a basic intro to going much more in-depth. You may want to consider the following options: Art of Film I, Documentary Production, Shoot + Edit + Share, and Digital Editing I.

What if I’m a Final Cut or Premier user?  We offer $10 workshops each term to demonstrate the Avid interface and show you how the system works.

Value Added: Enroll in one of our multi-session classes and you will qualify to purchase this software for your own personal use at a substantial student discount.  Avid purchase is not required for class participation.

New Class: Video Production for the Technology Shy

For all those hankering to sink their teeth into video production and filmmaking but are apprehensive about all the technology and gear involved, this is the class for you!

VIDEO PRODUCTION FOR THE TECHNOLOGY SHY

 

If you love the idea of learning about filmmaking but cringe at the prospect of having to deal with confusing technology, this is the class for you. Intended specifically for those with little or no previous camera or computer experience and/or those who are simply uncomfortable with technology in general, the class encourages students to focus on what they’ve already gleaned (without even realizing it) from watching media and observing the world: powerful visual storytelling skills! Hands-on instruction in planning, shooting, and editing will move at a pace that allows for plenty of explanation and interaction, with lots of time for questions. Everything you need is provided: scripts to practice with, camera and editing equipment for use in class, and kindred classmates who will crew with and support you. You’ll develop a foundation in media technology and gain a solid understanding of the production process from beginning to end. Outside time is not required, as projects can be completed during class meeting time. Fear not: if you can frame a shot with your hands, you can make a film!

SATURDAYS, APR 14-MAY 19, 10 AM-1 PM
