Special Notes
- Classes are confirmed one week prior to the start date. In order to help us confirm classes, please register as early as possible.Students are required to bring notebooks or note-taking devices. They will supply their own SD cards (atleast 32GB) and their digital cameras for shooting. Students can use phones with video-recording abilities or any digital cameras (DSLR/mirrorless). 1TB external hard drive for editing is preferred but not required (If you would like to keep making films and videos in the future, it will be good to have a hard drive from the beginning). Teacher will cover the basic digital camera manual operation (such as aperture triangle) so it would be helpful for those who want to learn from the very beginning. Please also bring a tripod.This is an On-site course. Students must follow current Covid-19 protocols, as outlined on our website. On-site courses do not come with studio access outside of class time. Paid open studio access is available through our Studio Access Program. Please visit visarts.org for more information.
