Digital
Storytelling

IN PERSON CAMPS

On this course, students acquire real world hands-on experience in producing digital art and movies using their camera or smart phone and computer. They explore the art of digital filmmaking, including special effects, and learn how to produce and edit videos using state-of-the-art equipment.

Each student engages in a project of his/her own. Thanks to the small class of 4 students on average, each student gets personal attention in building the story, filming it, and then editing it.

Students work with state-of-the-art DaVinci Resolve from Blackmagic Design or Adobe – industry standards used in cinema production as well as independent video making such as for YouTube.

Principles and concepts of editing are common to all editing tools, so what students learn with one software can be transposed to any other software like Adobe Premiere Pro or Sony Vegas.

Depending on the course, and parent permission granted, students will also learn to set up and manage a YouTube channel to share their vides online. A great option for many, and for all younger students is www.youtubekids.com

Some courses might not be available at every camp – check your preferred location and dates to view course offering.

This course can welcome a maximum of 6 students. Sign up early to secure your spot!
