Greetings, Filmmakers!

I'm teaching two Film & Video courses at Foothill College in Spring
Quarter--*VART 84 Video Editing* and *MUS 81B Sound Design for Film & Video*.
Both courses are hybrids, meaning you have the option of taking them
in-person or online. Either way, you have access to the IDEA
Center<http://www.foothill.edu/fa/idea>computer lab, which features
current video and audio software like Final
Cut, Soundtrack, Pro Tools, etc. The content is basically the same for the
in-person and online sections, except that if you come to class, you get the
benefit of hearing the lectures and having more interaction with the
instructor. Although *Sound Design* is listed as a Music class, you don't
have to be a musician to take it. The course is really about the
under-appreciated art of post-production Sound Effects, Sound Editing and
Mixing. Good sound design can greatly enhance the production value of your
projects, for very little expense. Video Editing and Sound Design really
work hand-in-hand to create a polished, finished product.

Registration <http://foothill.edu/reg/index.php> began last week for
continuing students, and starts today (March 15th) for new students. Classes
start the week of April 5th. Because of budget issues, it's critical for
classes to fill early in order to avoid cancellation. So if you're going to
enroll, do it as soon as possible (definitely by March 22nd). You can always
change your schedule or drop a class later, but if the class doesn't go, you
won't have the choice. Registration fees
<http://foothill.edu/reg/fees.html>are $42.50 for the quarter ($12.50
of which are voluntary), plus $17 per
class unit. Such a bargain! You can check the searchable Schedule of
Classes<http://foothill.edu/schedule/index.php>online for more
information, or email me.

Hope to see some of you in either or both classes!

Best,
RJ Ward
