with ELLIOT WALKER
Join us for a dynamic workshop on editing with Elliot Walker, where the transformative power of the editing process takes center stage. Elliot's approach to filmmaking demonstrates how a story can evolve dramatically during editing, often diverging significantly from the original script and planned soundtrack. We’ll explore how editing can redefine scenes and emphasize the importance of music in storytelling — both as a powerful tool and a potential distraction.
with sam newton
Sam Newton will discuss the most underappreciated aspect of filmmaking: sound. He will explain why effective sound design is more than simply selecting a good song and inserting it into a timeline. Good sound design should be felt, not just heard, and has the power to elevate a video into a cinematic masterpiece. He will cover topics such as choosing the right song for your film, utilizing sound effects (SFX) to highlight specific moments, and crafting a voiceover that enhances the overall impact of your film.
with SERR
Join Sergio Villasano (also known as SERR), a master of color theory and film simulation, to achieve truer-than-life toned video footage. In this workshop, you will learn basic color grading tips and discover how impactful techniques can make or break the final look of your film. Sergio will guide you through his process in real-time, providing a hands-on workshop experience for mobile-specific video.
Starting at 5pm on the first day and ending on 5pm the second day, you’ll be making a short film with a group of filmmakers. We’ll provide the challenge and you’ll plan, shoot, and edit a sub two minute film. The winning film is premiered at The Premiere on Saturday night.
Meet the pros who love the filmmaker community and want to share their knowledge.
