Want a complete course walking you through how to use DaVinci Resolve for a short film?
If you’re a single person team or part of a small crew making shorts, this is the course for you.
Casey Faris & the Ground Control team have just released a new course that covers
“EVERYTHING you need to COMPLETELY create a short film with Resolve 17 in one masterclass! These are tips and techniques from decades of collective post experience.”
This is a great addition to the ever-expanding library of paid courses out there.
Many courses cover a specific page (color, fairlight, fusion, etc). Others are all about what you need to know to be a professional colorist.
This one is geared for the indie filmmaker with a complete workflow for post production in DaVinci Resolve.
Casey Faris has a popular YouTube channel, and is one of the most recommended learning resources for new Resolve users in the forums I frequent, so I’d trust the quality of what he’s got.
