FOR INDEPENDENT MEDIA ARTISTS

This two-day workshop will demonstrate typical project workflows on the latest version of Avid, from digitizing tape-based dailies (such as Betacam and DVCAM) and ingesting file-based formats (such as the EX3's XDCAM EX and RED One's R3D), to creating personalized settings, organizing bins, media management, video resolutions, effects, rough cuts, trimming, adding titles, colour correction, importing, exporting and EDLs, and consolidating projects. Students will become familiar with the industry standard Avid interface and will gain an understanding of how the Avid processes digital media.

The workshop concludes with one week of practice time so that participants can explore their new-found skills.

Basic knowledge of the Mac or Windows platform or previous digital editing experience is recommended.

GUIDANCE FOR INDEPENDENT MEDIA ARTISTS

Join instructors Peg Campbell and Walter Quan (from the BC Arts Council) as they delve into the domain of public funding for film and video projects, and grant writing for arts councils.

The morning session will see an overview of the kinds of funding available from the public sector for short films with up-to-date information on guidelines, expectations and application closing dates. The afternoon is hands-on as participants judge a set of three funding applications from a jury’s perspective. The participants will be divided into groups and evaluate the proposals in a mock jury style. After they have made their decisions the instructors will hold a post-mortem with the groups to discuss the results.

This workshop is a great way to see what the funders see in the many applications they receive so that you can make sure yours is among the few that stand out.
