Egon began his professional career at an early age, eventually running the camera rental department for his father at the ripe young age of sixteen! After a six-year stint as the camera rental manager of CineVideoTech, he pursued his love for film in the field, running up an impressive list of credits. He worked his way up from technician to second assistant, second to first, first to operator, operator to second unit Director of Photography, second unit DP to Director of Photography on his first feature film, “Jungle Juice”, starring Christopher Walken, Morgan Fairchild, Robert Wagner and Rutger Hauer. Shortly after this achievement, Egon’s father fell ill and his duty to continue the legacy his father had begun took precedence over his own successful career. He took over the helm at CineVideoTech in 2002 and has since been busy recreating the company that has launched so many successful careers into a vision of what is to come. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Alex Ferrari Alex began his career as an editor and quickly moved up the ranks as a colorist, post-production, and visual effects supervisor. Coming from a visual effects/post-production background, this versatile director combines his passion for storytelling and visual effects experience with a unique visual style. Alex exploded onto the indie film scene with his award-winning short film BROKEN . The film went on to screen at over 200 international festivals and has been reviewed by over 250 news outlets worldwide including famed film critic Roger Ebert. "Broken is essentially a demonstration of the mastery of horror imagery and techniques." - Roger Ebert. Through self-distribution, the BROKEN Special Edition DVD has also sold over 5000 units worldwide. Produced on a budget of $8000 and boasting over 100 vfx shots, BROKEN is one of the most celebrated shorts in recent years. Alex Ferrari's work runs from stunning live action to animation, from visually gripping and stylish worlds to comic gems that will have you rolling on the floor. His body of work, highlighted by commercials spots for Comedy Central , a music video for the Three-Time Grammy Award Winning group Ozomatli (guest-starring Comedian Gabriel Iglesias ), and the stylish Lipstick and Bullets, a compilation of your of his short film. Being frustrated in seeing how his fellow filmmakers were being "chewed up" by the film business, Alex decided to start Indie Film Hustle, a website dedicated to educating filmmakers and artists on to survive and thrive in the film business. He also launched a podcast focusing on filmmaking called The Indie Film Hustle Podcast. Within three months of its start date, the show became the #1 filmmaking podcast on iTunes.

I've spent the last 10+ years making videos for brands & artists and there has clearly been a major shift in content being consumed. Everyone used to throw around words like "Professional" and "Commercial". Now it's all about "Viral" "Memes" "Trendy". After seeing the significance of online video, I started a youtube channel and my life was changed in a matter of months. We no longer need big expensive productions to make good videos. What's important is what you put in front of that camera, how you tell your story, understanding what makes stimulating content, and presenting it in a way that'll leave your viewers begging for more.

Welcome to “Video Editing Workflow for Filmmakers”, the only course designed for filmmakers editing their own film. In this exciting course, you will be learning the workflow for how to set up your editing projects, all the things that you will do in a day from importing raw footage all the way to exporting a film for final delivery. By the time you have finished this course you will be light years ahead of other editors who know how to use editing software but feel overwhelmed and anxious while editing because they haven’t yet developed an efficient workflow for the post-production phase of their film. You will learn how to start with an empty timeline and finish with a completed film that you are proud of. Over the years, the role of an editor has evolved . There once was a time when an editor only cut the picture and someone else dealt with the sound. But nowadays, that isn’t the case. An editor has become a one-person band. It is a new reality that has come about partly by the democratization of equipment, faster computers, laptops, smaller cameras, and other technological innovations that allow one person to do a lot more than they could do years ago. This course addresses this new reality. "Video Editing Workflow for Filmmakers" will show you how to organize your footage, do an assembly edit, an offline edit, sound design, and export your film for television, web, or even theatrical release.You will be seeing all these things in real time from start to finish. To get the most out of this course, we invite you to write down the steps that I have outlined in a checklist form. During each stage of post-production, you can refer to these checklists to remember what to do next. This will make things a whole lot easier and prevent you from feeling overwhelmed. One final note: this course is for filmmakers who already feel comfortable working with their editing software of choice. It doesn’t matter if you prefer Final Cut Pro, Avid, or Adobe Premiere. This course runs on the principle that all these pieces of software are tools. Whichever software you prefer, feel free to use it. I designed the ideas presented in this course to work for all them. So thank you for watching “Video Editing Workflow for Filmmakers” and we hope you enjoy the course.
