Avid Feature Film Camp combines Avid Authorized Media Composer education with hands-on experience in the post production of a feature film. Under the tutelage of a supervising editor and two assistants, students work as editors with credit on a previously unreleased motion picture. This learning experience is scheduled for a six week period. Avid Feature Film Camp participants become completely immersed in learning the art and science of digital film post production from top to bottom. As an editor, you'll develop a post production model for a motion picture, perform first cuts for the principal editor, conduct screenings for the director and production staff, attend editorial staff meetings, organize and string together dailies, database clips, possibly attend telecine transfers, digitize, locate, and label clips in bins and assist the supervising editor and assistants in the editorial process. When you participate in AFFC, you'll attend mini-seminars and interactive sessions with the film's director, telecine colorists, the supervising editor and other post production |
professionals. You and your fellow AFFC students will attend several screenings, Avid authorized classes, and participate in hours of hands-on operational experience with a true delivery date for the film. The working conditions are real. The stress is real. The emotions are real! In Avid Feature Film Camp, you will be subjected to working conditions on a motion picture. It will be a learning and growing experience. Set in a professional environment, Avid Feature Film Camp will give you the opportunity to learn from veteran artists and interact with the talented professionals of the future. AFFC will also offer up to four of Avid's Authorized curriculum courses for students, including Media Composer Editing, a three day complete hands-on and lecture based exploration of the Avid Media Composer,Film Composer Overview, a one day study of the particular issues of digital filmmaking and various methods of preparing the composer for either 24 frame or matchback modes of film post production, Advanced Media Composer Tips and Techniques, a two day advanced course that explores the more advanced editing |
features of the Media Composer, and Integrating 3rd Party Graphics, a two day class that examines the integration of animation and digital art with the Media Composer. Due to overwhelming response from experienced editors who wish to participate in AFFC but require less of the courses, Avid Feature Film Camp will be divided into two groups. Group 1 editors are relatively new to digital editing and post production. They have little or no experience as editors, little or no experience on the Media Composer and have not completed any Media Composer courses at an Avid Authorized Education Center. Group 2 editors are experienced editors with a digital editing background that are attending Avid Feature Film Camp for the opportunity to expand their body of work to include assistant work on a feature film. Please call Digital Media to verify your group status. Take a look at a typical AFFC schedule. |
