Fundamentals of Photography
John Greengo
Move from stills to filmmaking in less than 48 hours
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.
SOFTWARE USED: Adobe Audition, Adobe Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve

It is a Great Class! Totlay recommend it!
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.
Watched the trailer and instantly said: Hey that’s the Ivan Salaverry MMA gym.
Awesome class that teaches the process of making a production. That part beyond the editing and geeky stuff. Thanks Victor and Creativelive
Excellent class. Enthusiastic teacher.
have watched many CL courses...Victor is really a fantastic instructor...
You're awesome, I learnt a lot from you, this is like a must-have first course for anyone who wants to step into video or filmmaking world. Highly recommended and thank you a million Victor Ha.
Superb, both this one and Victor's other class on the fundamentals of DSLR film-making. Explains what you really need to know, no fluff, inspired and passionate.
A lot of talking... I wish he would do more actual teaching. Very passionate.
A great class to revisit. All this information you'd find in a million and one Youtube videos is all right here! From colour grading to audio editing, just a phenomenal class!
Excellent guide through creating a video that will get first timers up and running and even people with experience can benefit from seeing the workflow of a professional photographer tackling videography.
Victor is an incredible instructor, clearly passionate about teaching videography to photographers. His teaching style is engaging and energetic, and the content is interesting and useful. I was very fortunate to be part of the audience for this course.
Great class!
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! Victor makes video editing so approachable that I no longer dread when it comes to post production of my video footage!
Excellent Class! I feel confident that I can shoot my own videos and produce an excellent product, thanks to Victor!
