Join the Maxon Training Team as we break down an entire production, covering planning, camera prep, shooting, grading, and workflows for adding VFX. We’ll be featuring short films by director Anthony Bari Jr, discussing the camera shoot, jumping into both technical and non-technical aspects, and sharing creative choices all through the projects.

Week 2: Shoot
We’ll cover the technical side of the shoot, looking at camera settings, comparing technical features of different brands, and discussing the use of metadata, slates, and chip charts to organize and calibrate your footage in post.

Solving the Collaboration Conundrum
The world of media production is now more distributed than ever. Teams can be spread throughout a building, a city, a country, or even the world, and with the right tools and workflows, collaborate together as if they’re together in person. But how?
Join us live online to find out how our production solutions are enabling teams far and wide to work together in new ways, regardless of their location. Led by Avid product evangelists Michael Krulik and Craig Wilson, the session will demonstrate how you and your organization can employ workflows in Media Composer and MediaCentral to…
- Track distributed teams and their assignments efficiently from creation to completion
- Share rough cuts, edits, and notes from anywhere to collaborators anywhere, securely
- Deliver work from the edit suite to any platform, whether it’s on-air, social, online, or OTT

VFX and Chill with Hashi & Seth
Each week the hosts (and the occasional guest artist) will peel back the curtain on a part of the VFX creation process that’s mostly omitted from tutorials: the exploratory, beginning stages of creating an effect, where artists throw ideas and iterations at the wall to see what sticks. It’s in that trial and error that the creator often discovers new workflows and tricks they never knew even existed. The hope is to inspire and educate, and maybe even introduce a few new techniques and tools that even veteran designers have missed.

Week 3: Edit
The Team discusses the edit, where the story really happens! We’ll explore how to craft a narrative, give advice for editing pacing and tone, discuss what makes a good story, and even provide useful techniques that can help if you weren’t involved in production but need to develop the story. The edit is where we take the puzzle pieces from the shoot, and fit them in place with creative intent.

Photography + 3D Rendering: Creating Realistic Content at Scale
Every time a photographer fields a shoot, they invest time, resources, and creative energy into getting a selection of quality photos. But even the best shoots only produce a finite amount of imagery to use in projects. Today, creatives are turning to 3D design tools to get more out of their photographic assets.
Join us for Photography + 3D Rendering: Creating Realistic Content at Scale. During this live webinar, Jim Babbage will explore how he got started with Adobe Substance 3D tools to augment his work as a photographer. 3D artist Michael Tanzillo will also show how to:
- Create ultra-realistic compositions using existing photos, customizable 3D assets, and intuitive 3D design tools.
- Develop a seamless workflow for 3D staging and rendering using Photoshop, Substance 3D Assets, and Substance Stager 3D.
- Unlock new opportunities for experimentation and creativity by adding 3D to your design workflows.
