I teach Davinci Resolve and Premiere Pro from beginner to advanced.
In the beginner and intermediate courses, all the important basics are covered and practiced using practical applications.
The advanced courses go into finer details, such as advanced editing techniques or shed light on specific processes such as proxy workflows or colour management.
Structure:
The technical lessons are structured in 1 hour modules, using practical examples and allow time for experimentation and questions.
I also teach editing theory and creative strategies across many different genres and styles. These are less structured and are tailored to specific needs.
Open Sessions are also possible, where you may bring along a personal project and I will offer you technical assistance, feedback or tips.
