Ripple, Roll, Stretch: Video Edit

This evening workshop will cover the strange and fascinating world of video editing. This course will be more focused on the philosophies and concepts of editing and less on the specific tools, as the internet is filled with countless easy to follow software tutorials. While the class will be taught with Adobe Premiere, participants are encouraged to use whichever editing software they are most comfortable with (Final Cut, Da Vinci Resolve, Premiere elements, iMovie, Windows Movie Maker, etc.).

Temporal Contours v.04

Temporal Contours is a quarterly series of audio experimentation presented in a live (and hopefully future exhibition) setting, typically held in The Output. The intent is to provide a stage for artists working in sound to share their creative efforts, regardless of experience: we love to see new projects and people! We will be holding an open call in the near future in an effort to allow more artists to access this arena. Details of this will be released shortly so please stay tuned. We typically showcase work from local artists but occasionally are able to host others.
