Train to become a Freelance Videographer and Editor - NOVAC FREE WORKSHOP

NOVAC's Louisiana Film Crew Training Program presents a free workshop training participants for employment in the field of videography.

Videography Training Workshop

December 2-18, 2009

NOVAC's Louisiana Film Crew Training Program is preparing to offer its second Videography and Editing workshop.  This workshop will provide participants training they need to work as freelance videographers and provide in-depth instruction on professional filmmaking skills (such as project outline and initial planning, camera, lighting and audio techniques, interviewing procedures, graphic design and editing skills)  taught by industry professionals on industry-standard equipment. 

In addition to these skills, participants will learn how to build resumes, reels, and client lists while they practice various employment-generating and freelance skills such as listening to and working with their client, presenting final work, and accommodating requests for changes to their work.  During the workshop, participants will execute a project from pre-production through post-production. 

NOVAC has limited space available to applicants who are committed to working as freelance videographers.  To be eligible, applicants must demonstrate ability to attend the workshop in full, make a positive contribution to the workshop space, and pursue a career as a free lance videographer at the workshop's conclusion.

This is a 13 day workshop, 9-5 on weekdays.  There is no cost to attend this workshop, however NOVAC cannot provide stipends for workshop participants.  Also, if you have previously participated in NOVAC's Louisiana Film Crew Training Program, your application will not be considered.

Last day to apply is
November 19, 2009.  That's next week, so don't delay!
