The PreProPost HD workshop is designed to jump-start you into the  entire production workflow of HD technology from pre-production through post-production in a 2-day workshop. This challenging experience begins in pre-production where we breakdown a script and plan for production through storyboarding, shot listing, and scheduling. Then leave the classroom and go onto an independent film set for hands-on experience in all major roles of production. The final phase of post production covers the HD workflow, which involves learning the key steps of editing, finishing, and outputting to multiple formats. This adventure is directed towards individuals looking to get a first taste of filmmaking in the latest HD technology has to offer.
