ABOUT VICTOR’S CLASS:

Photography and videography have several things in common—but what about factors like audio and telling a story using video editing? In this filmmaking class designed for photographers, learn how to use the DSLR or mirrorless camera that you already have to capture high-end videos. In this start-to-finish course, you'll master everything from planning to post-production. The goal of the class is to teach anyone how to create a video from start to finish.

Dive into video production from the planning and pre-production phase, where you'll learn how to choose an idea, scope out locations, research the client, and more. Jump into video gear—and what's really necessary on a low-budget—and learn the essential filmmaking tips for recording. Discover how to capture excellent audio and tackle those B-Roll shots.

But this filmmaking course doesn't just teach you how to use editing software—you'll learn the editing process, start to finish, from storyboarding to exporting. Work in Adobe Premiere Pro to perfect your footage and Adobe Audition to fine-tune that audio. Tweak color in DaVinci Resolve. Add soundtracks, titles, and keyframes. Then, finalize and export your project.

WHO THIS CLASS is FOR:

  • Photographers eager to add motion pictures to their repertoire
  • Beginner filmmakers
  • Self-taught filmmakers ready for additional insight

SOFTWARE USED: Adobe Audition, Adobe Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve

    Fantastic course, Victor is one of the finest instructors I have encountered. Great stuff, I would highly recommend this for anyone who wants to work in video

    Victor is a very passionate guy, who puts everything into his class.......he certainly "left it all on the field"! And he was good for me, a rank beginner. Not too much, but not too little. And his style is good too. I'd give him some different "settings" (stage or background) to work with. I mean how ever many hours with that same "boring" grey background was a little hard to take. I was truly sick of it by the end. He' needs a background or setting that "fits" his animated, free-wheeling style. I'm not sure what that is, but that was my ONLY criticism. I wish him good luck as a growing instructor.

    Phenomenal course! I've seen many classes and videos that inspire me to go out and shoot and record, but this is the first class I've ever seen that makes me want to run home and start editing!
