JP Parnas and Brenna Getzin took Digital Video: Post-Production + Editing and Documentary Boot Camp. JP also took Digital Video: Camera + Sound. All are seven-week intensives. Both filmmakers produced or finished their shorts during Boot Camp.

The Editing and Camera/Sound courses are part of MassArt’s Digital Certificate program. Boot Camp is an elective and will be offered in-person at MassArt next summer.

Congratulations to both for the hard work pushing through the steep learning curve.

Michael Sheridan is one of the best teachers one could hope to have. He has a genuine commitment to facilitating students’ ability to realize their vision, which is backed by a deep understanding of technology and technique. I had the pleasure of hiring Michael to teach over twenty years, and student reviews were always excellent.
