The following five courses are offered.
Digital Video with Free,
Open-Source Software
This workshop explores the options available to
digital film-makers, visual and performance
artists and others working with digital video
capturing and editing on a tight budget. Free,
open-source yet professional grade software will
be introduced to participants as an alternative to
closed-source, paid applications that are often
expensive or counter-intuitive.
This practical workshop will cover the following:
• Capturing video from a camera or deck and
editing on the free open-sourced software
soon to be open-sourced, Oscar award
winning NLE (non-linear editor) lightworks
• Re-wrapping and transcoding of clips for
various purposes using FFmpeg and FFmbc
(i.e. converting video from different formats
so that they can be more easily used and
compressing video for the web)
• Best practice tips for the above and
suggestions for project organisation and
workflow
Some experience with digital video capturing
and editing would be an advantage.

DIY Binaural Microphone
Workshop
This workshop is an introduction to binaural
recording, a technique that uses miniature
microphones placed in a person’s ears to
capture their immediate environment. The
microphones act as virtual ears, and when
played back through headphones, a stereo
reproduction of the three-dimensional sound
environment originally captured is heard.
Participants will build their own binaural
microphone for use with a portable audio
recorder, and take part in a sound walk.
This class will involve soldering.
