PSS Provides Outstanding EDUCATION!
Taught by Professional Sound Services, our workshops cover the tools, techniques, and procedures used in the professional sound business. Students gain an appreciation of the aesthetic aspects of sound recording, learn tricks for creating an audio design and explore how to manipulate room tone, dialogue, and effects tracks for a realistic sound presence. Pre-production planning, boom and wireless microphone operation, microphone planting, tape-deck signal setup, and other techniques are also addressed. In addition, students are introduced to the latest DAT and analog systems, inter-format recording for music videos and commercial production, time code and other management tools for post production.
Formerly the New York City Final Cut Users Group established in September 2002, The Moving Pictures Collective fosters our professional filmmaking community to enhance their abilities and broaden their overall knowledge and skills to reach their career goals.
With post-production as our core competency, we will share
techniques, tools, and best practices in all competencies
including editing, directing, writing, producing, and
shooting. We will also promote member collaboration by
sharing our work in a supportive environment and create
opportunities for our members to flourish.
The Moving Pictures Collective is a 501c3
not-for-profit company that hosts monthly meetings and
other events to inform and educate our members on those
skills and knowledge that will keep them on the leading
edge in the film & video industry.
