Video Production: Basic Level

Digital Video Production is a combination of Moving Image, Lights and Colours, together with Sound. Video art is complex as it combines Bothe Image and Audio, moving in time. Our approach is pretty simple: On the Basic Level we teach you everything technical. On the Advanced Level we develop your producers’ eyes and ears. On the Master Level we make you a professional, by investing in practical experience and evolution of your aesthetically approach.
