Storytelling with DaVinci Resolve
About this Event
SCHEDULE:
Five sessions: 10/19, 10/20, 10/26, 10/27, 11/02 from 6:00pm to 9:00pm at Docs In Progress
COURSE DESCRIPTION: Intro to DaVinci Resolve
Travel from New York to San Francisco through stunning landscapes, historic towns, and vibrant cities, and learn to craft a cinematic promo video of your journey using DaVinci Resolve, using stunning footage from a real documentary. Using DaVinci Resolve, you will work with provided footage, music, drone shots, and voiceovers, selecting the elements that best represent the journey across America.
Hands-on practice is at the heart of this course. While creating a promo video, students gain practical experience across DaVinci Resolve’s editing, color grading, and delivery pages, building the confidence to use the software independently for future projects. Training takes place on Docs In Progress workstations using DaVinci Resolve, a free application students can continue using at home after class.
