Panelists will go over the basics of postproduction on your home computer, as well as what software to use for editing, graphic design, sound design, visual FX, and finally, how to burn your finished product to DVD. We will also take an in-depth look at editing from tips and tricks to technique and style. Panelists for the class include professional editor Graeme Lowery (Road Rules, Simple Life), Tim Cunningham (writer/director, Xtracurricular), Valerie Perez (producer/star Paula Peril—Trapped in the Flames and Tears of the Dragon), Nick Murphy (director, Tears of the Dragon), and Sean Rourke (writer/director, 1st Person Shooter.) » More on Comic-Con Film School
