A 4-week, hands-on course exploring the fundamentals of audio post-production for film and video.
In the dynamic world of film and television post-production, sound is half the story. This four-week, hands-on course introduces students to the essential techniques of audio post-production — from editing dialogue and adding sound effects to mixing and scoring — all within a professional lab environment.
Under the guidance of sound engineer Todd Thompson, students will learn how to bring visual projects to life through intentional sound design and mixing. Through project-based exercises and guided instruction, participants will develop the technical and creative skills used by industry professionals to shape the emotional and narrative impact of film and video.
By the end of the course, students will understand the fundamentals of editing, processing, and balancing sound, and leave with hands-on experience applying those techniques to real-world projects.
