Digital Training for editing teachers
I hosted in July 2015 a high-level training week on video formats, workflows of digital video codecs, media, the good production practices, post-production and distribution, etc.
Editors and teachers editor saw happen the digital but have, overall, trained on the job, so with a good experience but often a lack of technical bases to implement and communicate the most efficient working methods. Back to good basis with me !
This training was held in English.
I developed customized documents in English, reference tools and future productivity, which you can download.
I also give you a pictorial tour of the “AFDA, The South African School of Motion Picture Medium and Live Performance” very professional school in full development.

Benoît Labourdette designs and leads professional training courses for new media, within training centers (CEFPF, INA Expert, Universities) as well as directly for companies or professional networks (ARTE, Forum des images, Documentaire sur Grand Ecran, Altermédia, Drôle de Trame, SCAM, NAAIS, CFI...).
The digital revolution consists in these new technologies which populate our daily life and modify the uses, the produced contents, the channels of diffusion, the economic models, the relations, the working methods...
The training allows the appropriation of these new languages, technologies and practices, in a perspective of professional construction: discover, experiment and appropriate tools, strategies, creative techniques, based on solid conceptual foundations. The goal is to equip oneself to be able to build the future of the audiovisual field in a concrete, open, innovative and economically viable way.
You will find here a few examples of internship processes, as well as downloadable deliverables.
