Quick Facts

ADVANCE PREPARATION

Like many high-end workshops there is some advance work required on your part. Technical expertise is not a requirement for The Kalish, but you should have basic working knowledge of Final Cut Pro (or Express) and InDesign. It will be helpful to understand Audacity (audio software), but not necessary.

Listed below are a variety of free tutorials that might come in handy. Facility with this software will equip you for the basics in cross platform, visual editing. The exercises in the workshop will build on and expand these skills and apply them to real life situations.

DECIDE AND DEFEND

You’ll be expected to exercise and articulate your editing judgment about both pictures and stories. A central theme of The Kalish is to make good decisions and develop the ability to defend those decisions in workplace settings. We call it decide and defend.

The Kalish a simply fantastic way to re-energize your visual spirit.
