 Rich Topham teaching professional sound techniques
at
the American University in Washington D.C.
School of Communication
Taught by
Professional Sound Services, our workshops cover the tools,
techniques, and procedures used in the professional
sound business. Students gain an appreciation of the
aesthetic aspects of sound recording, learn tricks for
creating an audio design and explore how to manipulate
room tone, dialogue, and effects tracks for a realistic
sound presence. Pre-production planning, boom and
wireless microphone operation, microphone planting,
tape-deck signal setup, and other techniques are also
addressed. In addition, students are introduced to the
latest DAT and analog systems, inter-format recording
for music videos and commercial production, time code
and other management tools for post production.
Formerly the New York City Final Cut Users Group established in
September 2002,
The Moving Pictures Collective fosters our professional filmmaking
community to enhance their abilities and broaden their overall knowledge
and skills to reach their career goals.
With post-production as our core competency, we will share techniques,
tools, and best practices in all competencies including editing,
directing, writing, producing, and shooting. We will also promote member
collaboration by sharing our work in a supportive environment and create
opportunities for our members to flourish.
The Moving Pictures Collective is a 501c3 not-for-profit company
that hosts monthly meetings and other events to inform and educate our
members on those skills and knowledge that will keep them on the leading
edge in the film & video industry.
