Jay Grammond - Sunday Afternoon Sessions

Join me for an easy-access waterfall tour in the heart of Spearfish Canyon. We'll visit a couple of falls near the parking areas. This session is about embracing motion and using filters to create that dreamy, ribboned look. Whether you're new to long exposure or ready to fine-tune your waterfall shots, this is a can't-miss chance to work with some of the Hills' most iconic flows. Image: Chad Coppess.

This session is for you! Rebecca will go over the basics of cutting footage together, coloring, and story as we edit our videos together in this hands-on workshop.

Recommended equipment: Laptop computer or Ipad Pro you can edit on | Video editing software (if you do not have a program already I recommend downloading Davinci Resolve - it’s free!) this is the program she will be teaching from, although the basic principles will translate to any video editing software. https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/davinciresolve | Headphones or earbuds that connect to your computer.
