There's no need to give up the day job while preparing for a Hollywood career as a professional film or TV editor. Video Symphony TV & Film School (www.videosymphony.com) in Burbank now offers its Avid Professional Certificate Program as an 18-month series of evening and weekend classes and workshops, starting late June, 2008.
Designed to accommodate working professionals and students who have full-time day jobs, the Avid Professional Night Program includes 36 courses, plus hands-on practice time, and the same
benefits provided in their popular 12-14-month daytime Avid Professional Program.
Video Symphony's president, Mike Flanagan, explained the decision to add the Avid Professional Night Program: "We hear from so many career-changers and young people who are eager to
become expert editors, but they need to keep the jobs they have. In response, we've adapted our facility to accommodate their requests."
Initially, the Avid Professional Night Program classes will be conducted on Monday and Wednesday evenings, plus one weekend per month. The first evening sessions are scheduled to begin on
June 30th, 2008. Early registration is recommended because there are limited seats available. Financial aid options are available to qualified students.
"It may take a little longer for night students to complete the program," Flanagan added, "but they will be equally prepared to compete in the Hollywood job market when they graduate."
Video Symphony also announced their new "Pizza & Post" events, Tuesday evening get-togethers, open to the public, for students and film devotees interested in the professional
adventures of notable directors and editors. Admission and pizza are free, but an RSVP is required. Call 818.557.7200 for the schedule. Video Symphony is located at 266 E. Magnolia Blvd.
in downtown Burbank, CA. There's free indoor parking immediately behind the school.
Video Symphony has pioneered digital media training for Hollywood-grade editors since 1994. Along with its signature Avid programs, the school also specializes in Pro Tools sound editing
and mixing, and motion graphics/VFX programs. Avid Technology has rated Video Symphony as the "#1 Avid Educational Center" many consecutive years in a row.
