EQUIPMENT
& SOFTWARE
The
Department has everything you need (go to
this link,
then select "Equipment" on the left hand side menu,
using your UW NET ID to login) but feel free to use your
own technology if you have it.
- Video: Pretty
much anything goes (Flip, Point & Shoot camera with
video, DV camera, etc.)
-
Still: any
available still camera (personal or UW-stocked).
-
Video Editing: Sony
Vegas Movie Studio Platinum. I'll be teaching the basics of
editing with help from UW's Catalyst, but if you decide you
would like to use a different platform, that's fine. As
long as the final product is outputted to a common video
format (tbd.), it doesn't matter how you get there. I'm
also happy to provide individual assistance outside of
class to help refine your techniques.
-
Online Distribution:
YouTube, FlipTheMedia.com.
-
Soundtrack production: Apple
GarageBand/Soundtrack Pro, Adobe Soundbooth, music in the
public domain or music that we can freely license.
If any or all of this makes little sense to you now, don't
worry, we'll explain it all in class.
