Casablanca Digital Video Editor

We teach editing principles which students can use on any software after the workshop.
Students will be using the Casablanca Digital Video Editors in this workshop. They are very user-friendly. Students will spend time editing their films rather than learning software in class.
However, students are welcome to bring their own cameras and laptops (with editing software) if they prefer.

What students say about the workshop:

"I just wanted to say thanks again for the great filmmaking class! I still talk to the students who were with us in the class, Yazmen & Sam for the photography class and MinJung for the filmmaking class. It's also a great indicator of how good your class was if the students stayed in contact afterwards. :)
I want to share the trailer for our new webseries LUMINA with you. Your filmmaking class really inspired me to go out and film something, and I have even braved the depths of editing (on Final Cut Studio!)"
