Our typical class will consist of a lecture that focuses on the week’s subject matter, followed by discussion. Many classes will include expert guest speakers with whom we will engage in a two-way conversation from the outset about our projects. Some of these guest speakers may even serve as "clients" as we seek to produce stories.

Although I will teach some skills in filmmaking, editing, etc. we'll also draw upon resources within the UW, including free Catalyst classes to help refine your techniques. There'll also be a lot of guided self-learning as we seek to further develop our initial creations, and push the limits of accessible, consumer-grade technology.

I intend to make this a collaborative environment. This means:
- Everyone is expected to participate in class discussions.
- Once we've met once or twice, I'll fine-tune the syllabus to ensure you get as much value out of the class as possible.
- There'll be some group work, but I'm flexible on whether you work with others or alone.
