Video Editing By Val Cameron,
Dreamlight, Footage & FX By Belwoni Productions
You don't have to spend thousands
of dollars to learn professional video editing & special FX.
Sure, there is a time
and place for everything, but frankly, have you ever seen a
racing driver sit in a formula 1 car on their first day?
There is a reason for
that, and what I'm about to share with you might come as a shock
to you, and might upset one or two "video editing gurus"...
Hi, I'm Val Cameron
from Dreamlight...
I've been doing
professional video editing for over two decades of my life, I've
traveled the world, been filming in the US, Europe and editing
music videos, commercials, live broadcasting, short movies, full
length feature movies and even documentaries. I won several
local movie festivals in Sweden with my editing skills.
I've been editing
using everything from a cheap home VCR and a camera to expensive
professional $1,000 / day studios, using everything from free
video editing software, to software that costs hundreds of
dollars...
...and if there's one
thing I've learned during all those years, its this:
90% Of ALL Editing Is The Same And
Why Music Video Editing Is The Best To Learn First
The SAME rules apply
to all video editing, regardless of what you edit.
I've also discovered
that learning music video editing is the best way to learn video
editing, since you get to master all basic stuff, while also
learning timing, emotion and pacing, as well as the importance
of interaction between video clips in a rapid way.
Plus, it's fun too!
Besides, music videos
can be as short as 30 sec, so the projects are very easy to
manage with its limited footage, compared to longer and bigger
projects.
This is PERFECT if
you're just starting out, or if you're a semi-pro video editor
that want to take your skills to the next level!
With that said, it
doesn't matter if you're editing using a free software or using
something more advanced.
If you don't know the
90%, the CORE of video editing, you'll probably waste a lot of
time and money on stuff you don't need anyway.
It's like putting a
new soon-to-be race driver in a formula 1 car. Chances are high
that he or she will drive off the road no matter how hard they
try.
If you're like me, you
like things to be simple, fun and you want to see progress fast. That's why I've opened
Video Editing Mastery Club, where you'll learn:
1. The CORE of music video editing,
where I reveal ALL of my 30+ tricks that took me 20+ years to
master
2. How to do professional video
editing and special FX using FREE or low cost software, such as
DAZ Studio, Movie Studio and After Effects...
3. How to edit QUICKLY, while
having FUN during the process
Now, I've been
teaching thousands of 3D artists and 2D artists since 2005, and
I'm well known for easy, step by step and fun tutorials that
give IMMEDIATE benefits.
That's some pretty BOLD statements, but don't take our word for
it... See what other artists say about Dreamlight:
"Your class has improved both my understanding of 3D
lighting, and my confidence in my ability to light my scenes and
produce art I can be proud of. I have found your class to be
well-designed, intelligent, and if you'll excuse the expression,
illuminating.",
Angela Knight - 3D artist, New York Times bestselling author
"If we are lucky, in our lifetime we earn the privilege of
getting to know and work with someone who can only be described
as a genius. Since 2005 I have watched Val Cameron share the
incredible genius he has for 3D Art with countless others all
over the world in way that allows them to learn and grow from
his seemingly limitless experience and talent. His patient and
caring coaching style has empowered others to expand their
understanding of what is possible to a point where the
impossible, suddenly becomes reality!",
Mike Lewis - Spain
RED Footage, Special FX And Support
Included
Yes, we'll be playing
with fun toys, green screen, motion tracking, adding 3D graphics
and CG to video footage and all that, but don't worry about
getting overwhelmed...
...we'll start with the
CORE, so that you feel confident and get results quickly!
Also, unlike most
gurus out there, I won't let you off the hook with some videos.
I'll be there for you
100% all the way, and provide you with professional feedback and
support all the way, inside our closed Facebook group for
members only (opens Nov 5). This is completely for FREE,
included in your membership.
Now, on top of this
all, you get to play with professional footage inside our club,
shot with a RED camera by my dear brother, Peter, from Belwoni
Productions. Most of our main club video tutorials are based on
this incredible footage...
This is truly a one of
a kind place, where your editing dreams come true like nowhere
else...
Sounds good?
Then you're welcome
aboard!
