Prerequisites & minimum requirements:
This online workshop is for absolute beginners who want to learn best practices for editing video. By studying examples and doing hands-on application of editing concepts in DaVinci Resolve, you'll be introduced to the technical, theoretical, and creative dimensions of the editing process.
Wait, DaVinci Resolve? What's that?
This online workshop introduces you to the free software, Davinci Resolve, a powerful tool which compliments the Black Cinema Cameras available for rent at VIVO.
You may know DaVinci Resolve as the industry standard for video colour correction, but it's also a great application for editing, visual effects, motion graphics, and audio post production.
Don't let the "free" price tag fool you, this is a really excellent piece of software! Plus the basic concepts and workflow you learn in this workshop will easily carry over to any non-linear editor you may otherwise use.
Topics covered:
- Importing your footage properly and specifying session settings
- Organizing an editing session efficiently
- Techniques, conventions, and concepts for cutting and re-sequencing video clips
- Basic understanding of file formats, codecs, and frame rates
- Encoding your final work to an appropriate file format
Understand DaVinci Resolve’s big selection of tools for cutting, tweaking, manipulating and experimenting with your video. Develop your aesthetic and analytical perspective to recognize the impact of each cut.
In addition to editing a short video, you’ll gain the initial skills and creative framework to wade through all that footage and distill an impactful story!
VIVO is located in the homelands of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam) Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səl̓ílwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) peoples in a warehouse space at 2625 Kaslo Street south of East Broadway at the end of E 10th. Transit line 9 stops at Kaslo Street on Broadway. From the bus stop, the path is paved, curbless, and on a slight decline. The closest skytrain station is Renfrew Station, which is three blocks south-east of VIVO and has an elevator. From there, the path is paved, curbless, and on a slight incline. There is parking available at VIVO, including wheelchair access parking. There is a bike rack at the entrance. The front entrance leads indoors to a set of 7 stairs to the lobby.
A wheelchair ramp is located at the west side of the main entrance. The ramp has two runs: the first run is 20 feet long, and the second run is 26 feet. The ramp is 60 inches wide. The slope is 1:12. The ramp itself is concrete and has handrails on both sides. There is an outward swinging door (34 inch width) at the top of the ramp leading to a vestibule. A second outward swinging door (33 inch width) opens into the exhibition space. Buzzers and intercoms are located at both doors to notify staff during regular office hours or events to unlock the doors. Once unlocked, visitors can use automatic operators to open the doors.
There are two all-gender washrooms. One has a stall and is not wheelchair accessible. The other is a single room with a urinal and is wheelchair accessible: the door is 33 inches wide and inward swinging, without automation. The toilet has 11 inch clearance on the left side and a handrail.
To reach the bathrooms from the studio, exit through the double doors and proceed straight through the lobby and down the hall . Turn left, and the two bathrooms will be on your right side. The closest one has a stall and is not wheelchair accessible. The far bathroom is accessible.
Aya Garcia is a storyteller, visual artist and filmmaker. She was born and raised in the Philippines and is now living on the unceded territories of the Musqueam, Tsleil-Waututh and Squamish Nations. Her projects focus on intimate portrayals of the artist, the creative process and the impact of art within communities. Aya’s work is collaborative whenever possible and she would jump at any opportunity to shoot with film. Her work extends a commitment to creating interdependence through art. She enacts her lens in order to create worlds apart from the industries that extract resources from women, people of colour and any historically marginalized groups. When she is not filming or hidden away in her editing room, Aya is probably hanging out with her dog Gorda.
