#3 CDIA Curriculum

There's a number of ways you can hear this episode. You can listen to it through a Flash player on the host site or subscribe to it using the RSS feed. I will be registering it on the directories, including iTunes, over the next couple days.This very lengthy episode has me reviewing most, but not all the classes I'll be taking at the Center for Digital Imaging Arts. I discuss my expectations as well as what my personal interests. In a nutshell I'm looking forward to everything.My gung ho attitude is due to my expectation that I will never get another opportunity to attend classes in such a lengthy, structured manner. I believe in lifelong learning, but that constitutes fitting the learning in between large chunks of life. For the next 18 months that equation will be reversed, where, wherever I can help it, the classes take precedence.I've done my homework, checked out the school, the instructors, the program, the content of the classes, interviewed students, clocked the commute, calculated how many hours of sleep a week I can live on. Now it's up to me.I don't believe in passive learning. I intend to dig into this experience with my nails. I know what I want to know, in a vague sort of way. I also know I need to be paying attention so that when something unexpected  comes at me I can get a piece of it as well. If I'm not satisfied when I'm finished, it will be my own fault.Chapter timesIntroduction :101 Fundamentals :592 Camera & Lighting 1:194 Project 1 6:155 Editing 1 6:516 Editing Lab 7:487 Documentary Camera 8:218 Interview 10:269 Editing II 12:1610 Directing Documentary 12:5713 Directing Drama 13:3914 Preproduction 13:5615 Cinematography 14:1816 Locations 14:3618 Final Production 15:0925 Workshops 16:2326 Final Cut Pro 17:3427 Practicum 18:01Close 20:16You can leave comments on the blog or send me email.
