The Center for Digital Filmmaking is getting ready to debut, just in time to help locals take advantage of the deluge of films hitting Michigan.
Darren Brown, a local filmmaker, is starting the center by teaming up with
Pixel It Productions at Wayne State's
TechTown campus. Brown has years of filmmaking and videomaking under his belt.
The Center for Digital Filmmaking's training program runs about 12 weeks. The course uses a hands-on approach. Brown says he showcased the school's curriculum to production houses in the state to help establish the center's professional credibility.
The school holds classes for about 30 students three days a week. Coursework includes The Basics of Video Production, Lighting, Green Screening, Creative Writing, Creating a Budget and Casting and Preparation for the Shoot. Classes are taught by pros, and students also will have to produce their own projects in the final weeks of the course.
