About the event
In this video workshop, you will learn how to create a 30 second cinematic spec ad, featuring Sony’s Extra Bass bluetooth speaker.
This will be a lifestyle ad where we will be also working with a super awesome dancer to create a narrative using the product.
There will be no audio involved in this workshop as we won’t need on location recording for this particular style of video.
All attendees will be sent a bonus video file (after the workshop) of my editing process for this ad. This is not an Adobe Premiere tutorial, but more so an overview on how I crafted my version of the edit together, including narrative, shot selection, music, SFX, colour grade and graphics.
