Led by Producer/Line Producer Steve Clark Hall, this two-day course offers an in-depth, hands-on review of the Movie Magic software and the environment in which it is employed both in Film and TV. No previous experience with MMB is required but basic computer literacy and a familiarity with Film / TV production basics is assumed.
Training will use a sample schedule with practical exercises to put the manipulation of the software into practice.
