The Virginia Production Alliance announces Oct. 24 workshop

A workshop on transforming your raw footage into a finished project.
Thursday, October 24th from 6-8pm, Staunton Public Library, 2nd Floor Meeting Room.
Free and open to the public.

While a step-by-step demonstration of the editing process using iMovie ’11 will be featured during this workshop, participants are strongly encouraged to bring the following for a more personal, “hands-on” experience:
*a laptop with the iMovie ’11 application
*raw video footage and/or photos (preferably already loaded onto your laptop) that you would like to edit into a short, one minute project (i.e., vacation footage, footage from a scene that you have filmed, etc.)
*music or sound effects (on CD, mp3 files, etc.) that you would like to incorporate into your iMovie ’11 project

By the end of the workshop, the goal is to have given you the guided practice needed to transform your footage into a short, edited iMovie project (that, perhaps, you would be willing to “premiere” before the rest of the workshop participants)!

Michael Strawderman will be the creative and technical guide. Michael is a 1991 graduate of Virginia Commonwealth University with a BFA in Theatre Education.
