This unique experience for creative kids will allow hands-on, concentration skills and much more. Editing, music, and image & sound FXs are the finishing phase of any production. The time spent in post production will also amaze kids from (1) editorial needs, (2) post-production sound, (3) music composition, and (4) titles (includes typing skills). We teach them about voice overs and having clear dialogue which makes the kids films much more watchable and enyoing. All these topic they are learning about filmmaking is the real educational target and having good sound and good visual story telling is crucial to the learning of making movies and plays.
