The small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (sUAS), or drone, is emerging as a powerful video and photography platform for both professional and hobbyist videographers, photographers, artists, scientists, and storytellers. With technology comes many regulations, safety knowledge, and understanding of how the drones and government work in relation to drones.
This 3-day course prepares students to understand the basics of what flying a drone really means, how to fly safely, and how to capture and edit aerial photos and video footage using the latest drone technology and video editing software.
This class is for anyone from beginner to intermediate students with an interest in drone photography, and videography. Students will receive training in drone safety, utilization, video camera setup, camera maneuvers, shooting practices, pre- and post- production planning and film editing. All students taking the course will be leaving with a hobbyist certificate and the tools and recommended resources to getting their commercial license.
Other Topics Covered in this Course:
Students MUST bring a laptop, PC or Mac, with them to the editing portion of the class. We ask that students come prepared with Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Premiere already downloaded on their devices. You may download the free trial of Adobe Premiere and the free trial of Adobe Photoshop a few days prior to the final class if you do not own either of these Adobe software products. Please keep in mind that each free trial only lasts 7-days, and you will need it for this course.
If you do not have a laptop, contact Kyle Hirshkind (kyle.hirshkind@unh.edu) to reserve a loaner for use during the workshop.
All additional course resources and materials will be provided.
