n-studio teaching methods, we've decided to make our unique training style available to everyone around the world, rather than just a handful of students in Los Angeles. With over 100 videos in your possession, you will learn the entire creative process from script to screen, from concept to delivery, and everything that goes into creating high-value, professional video content.
To reinforce what you’re learning, we'll teach you how acquire your own client and produce an original project that will be completed and delivered at the end of the Accelerated Filmmakers Program. This offers a true hands-on experience, and the ability to take your new skills beyond your computer screen and into the real world. And to top it all off, you’ll be able to add a professional project to your resumé!
That's right, YOU will be writing, producing, shooting, editing, and delivering a legitimate project to a legitimate client. Don't worry, we've done this MANY times before, so we'll be there to show you the ropes every step of the way. ;)
