DVFilm's 24P Film School
NOTE: Classes have been suspended indefinitely. If you are looking
for film making classes please try AustinFilmWorks.com
An intensive 2-day film school held Saturday and Sunday six times a year, with emphasis on 24P digital cameras (like the Panasonic DVX100A and Canon XL-2), 24P editing on both Mac and Windows-based editing systems,
DVD authoring and transfer to film, and how to use the Sony HDR-FX1 for HD-24P and transfer to film. Examples of DV and HDV transferred
to film are projected for the class on film.

The price is $250.00 per student and is held in the DVFilm Production
office in Austin, Texas. The class size is limited to 8 students, so each student gets
personal attention and assistance.
The course is based on Marcus van Bavel's book Shooting Digital, and a copy of the book is provided to each student in the class,
as well as additional written materials. Four instructors teach
the class together (divided by topic), including Van Bavel, the
author of the book and the chief engineer at DVFilm.
Requirements for the course are that you have a basic knowledge
of video cameras and some exposure to video editing. The course
takes you beyond video into true 24P shooting and editing for
professional-looking movies that appear to be shot on film. The
course avoids technical jargon however and we try to explain and
demonstrate everything in plain English, so almost anyone seriously
wanting to make movies can enjoy and learn from it.
There are many other film schools and video courses you can take,
but this is the only one run by a DV to Film transfer facility.
We are experts on 24P and we tell you exactly what you need to
know. Also instead of specializing on a particular editing system,
we show you all the popular 24P editing systems so you can make
an intelligent choice on which one to buy.
