Why would any of us consider taking our production into the studio?

Mr. Marcin Biegunajtys, Producer and Studio Owner, will take a close look at creative techniques that can be used in the studio. Some of the topics that will be covered are Studio Lighting Techniques, Audio Capture, Set Design, as well as Green Screen. Although there may be some discussion on the technical aspects the focus will be creative techniques to increase production value.

Marcin Biegunajtys, an Art Institute of Colorado graduate, has been involved in video production locally as well as nationally since 2000. His extensive knowledge of high end production gear and software, like Red cameras and Nuke special effects software have earned him the reputation of Video Production Guru. He is well respected amongst his peers and has completed productions for companies like Davita, Western Union, The Colorado Symphony, and even CDot.

Come join us for a night of networking and education.

If you would please bring a folding chair if you would like to sit as the studio has limited seating.

• What we’ll do
Adobe’s Premiere Pro is a very deep piece of software with many features and controls that many editors may not leverage. As with any other skill, you will find that the more often you use a function, or editing procedure, the more proficient you’ll become at performing that task repeatedly.

Veteran editor Brian Brown of BrownCow Productions has used Premiere Pro on a daily basis for over ten years. At this special BDA “Premiere Tips and Tricks” workshop created exclusively for CoPVA, Brian will walk-through a dozen or so tips that he’s developed through the years, including the Dynamic Link function, custom keyboard shortcuts, Ripple Edit tricks, custom effects presets, making a frequency “hole” in audio for spoken dialogue to sit in a mix, subclips, and many more.

This workshop will be held in one of BDA’s state of the art classrooms, as a result, we will have the ability to work through the tips with the instructor on the classroom workstations. This is a hands-on workshop!
