Today, anyone with a camcorder and a computer can create a video and share it with millions of viewers via the Internet. This workshop is designed for novices who are anxious to learn the fundamentals of video production. The focus will be on using a consumer level digital video camera to create professional looking movies. All three stages of video production will be discussed, and participants will learn how to select and use basic video equipment. While primarily lecture based, attendees will use Windows Movie Maker as they learn basic editing techniques.
Adobe After Effects is an animation program focused on video production which allows you to combine video and animations into a single project and then export it into many common video formats. In this workshop, participants will create a 30 second movie trailer in After Effects. While working, participants will spend time learning how to work efficiently in the After Effects interface, as well as learning how the basic animation and effects tools work. Eventually, we will combine all of these skills to build a more complex set of animations.
