SOUND DESIGN 101 WITH CAROLYN MOONTUESDAY November 3rd, 6:00-8:00PM
Google Meet $20 This workshop will cover the basics of sound design and give beginner sound designers tools for approaching their early sound design careers. We will explore the role of sound design, and talk about some tools to use sound design effectively. This course pairs well with “QLab for Artists.” We will be covering QLab only briefly in this session. QLAB FOR ARTISTS (AKA HOW TO MAKE A PRETTY QLAB) WITH CAROLYN MOONTUESDAY November 10th, 6:00-8:00PM
Google Meet $20 We will be overviewing QLab for artists so artists can create a QLab that will make their sound technical elements run smoothly and efficiently while working under time constraints. This workshop will teach the basics of QLab, and give artists some tips and tricks to make their QLab beautiful. About QLab QLab is an industry standard audio and video playback software, created by Figure 53, a small company based in Baltimore, Maryland. Much to the chagrin of poor artists everywhere, QLab is only available for Mac. A free version of QLab is available on the QLab website. PLEASE NOTE: Participants must download the free version of QLab at qlab.app before this workshop. Users must have a Mac computer, laptop or ipad to participate. |

SPECIAL NOTES:
Participants can choose to attend one or both of Carolyn’s workshops as they are designed as companions. Carolyn likely won't be covering much QLab in Sound Design 101 so it's recommended that participants do both.

MOVEMENT FOR CAMERA WITH SOPHIA WOLFESATURDAY November 14th + SUNDAY November 15th - 1:00-3:00PM
Google Meet $40 Experiment and play with ways to capture and record movement through the camera. A group warm up will guide us into our bodies, and then into our filmmaking senses. This will lead into tasks that generate choreography and then guide us to capturing that choreography on film. The group will collaborate on a short edit combining all of our material and looking at editing as another tool for choreography. SPECIAL NOTES:
Since we cannot be together physically, the group will strategize ways to film our own bodies. |
