ONE: IT ALL STARTS WITH AN IDEA
Already have an amazing project idea? Good. Write it down and start planning. Otherwise, talk to your friends, and put something together. Studio 47 members always have a couple projects going, so it's also a good idea to come to meetings and check up with everyone else. Time flies. So get to work. If you're still in need of inspiration, try taking a look at our Vault of past projects.

TWO: TALK IT UP
Any member will tell you, the best way to get started on a video project is to meet other people. Come to a regular Studio 47 meeting, or to a social. If you already have a film project, you will find hordes of enthusiastic students, eager to help you out. If you don't already have an idea, start out by helping other students with their films.

THREE: SHOOT IT
The Studio 47 can provide equipment and training. Come to a regulare training session to learn more about the equipment and get a few basic shooting tips. It also really helps to work on a couple of student films to see how other people shoot. Look for updates on training sessions - which should begin by the start of October.

FOUR: EDIT IT
With programs like iMovie, it's easier than ever to edit. Just make sure to schedule a slot ahead of time. If you're trying to do some more advanced work with Final Cut Pro, it's a good idea to enlist the help of an experienced editor. Again, talk to Studio 47 members - there are plenty with expertise here.

FIVE: SCREEN IT
To get your work seen on campus, Studio 47 provides the opportunity of several festival screenings. We always see a huge attendance, and violate several theater fire codes. For details and guidelines on project submissions, consult the screenings page.
