My method is to trade as much as possible. I want to try to better understand your point of view or your way of conceiving your project. I will recommend movies to watch to arouse your curiosity. I will also give you a certain analytical basis, to better identify the devices and methods to achieve them. The art of cinema is often to play with codes, for that you must first master them. I will try to teach you to take a step back from your own project and to accept an outside opinion.

Regarding video editing, my method is to take examples of short films / audiovisual projects, and put yourself into practice. Editing certainly needs a little theory, but it can be learned above all by practicing. So I will teach you certain methods and certain precepts to have to master. I will mainly follow your project (s).

While students will practice their skills through brief, task-based, filming and editing assignments, a large sum of time will be devoted to planning, development, setup and execution of a singular film project of their choice. In addition to preparation for working in teams on a set, students will develop the following: reel displaying a wide range of filming and editing skills, résumé/CV, general cover letter, portfolio/updated website with artist statement and downloadable professional documents.

Me diplomé en Historia en la Universidad de Buenos Aires y luego obtuve el grado de Master en Historia del Arte en la Universidad de Montpellier, Francia.

Guío y asisto al estudiante, y a partir de esto trabajamos juntos para que pueda superar crisis de angustia y lagunas en el armado de la materia.
Organizamos juntos las prioridades bibliográficas y luego configuramos cuadros y esquemas. En este proceso, el conocimiento se construye relacionalmente y la memoria pasa a tener un lugar secundario.

About the teacher:

YORGO is a Belgian, Greek and Italian film director, writer, producer, actor and creator of the Award Winning LGBTQI+ short film Trigger. Yorgo started his artistic journey at 14 years old acting in theatres in Belgium where he was born.
Aspiring for an international career, he moved to London in 2014 and joined the cast of the Immersive project The Den created by the BAFTA-winning director Gbemisola Ikumelo. Following that, he starred in several short films and features ( Remi Milligan: Lost Director, The Adopters, Amazon Prime Naanum Single Thaan).
His passion for filmmaking started in 2020 when he wrote scenes for his own acting showreel. Lacking of authentic on screen representation and a desire of using his voice to raise awareness about a past traumatic event, he created the short film Trigger which was nominated in British and International LGBTQI+ festivals and won the award of Best International Short Film at the Fuse International Film Festival in Kingston ( UK/2022).
The film is distributed worldwide by Gonella Productions and is available on Amazon Prime UK & US as part of These Untold Secrets.

Davinci Resolve est ton ami ! Cet adage représente bien ce logiciel qui peut tout faire : dérushage des fichiers de tournage, montage, effets spéciaux, mixage et surtout étalonnage.
Les boites de post-production cinéma/pub/clips L'utilisent tous les jours et ce logiciel tend à devenir le logiciel le plus utilisé en montage, postproduction général et étalonnage en France.

Autrement moins cher que la suite adobe (vu qu'il dispose d'une version gratuite totalement opérationnelle) il est un logiciel complet en post-production, un monstre de puissance et de souplesse, performant et très ergonomique. Son principal avantage étant d'être facile d'apprentissage.

Je donne des formations personnalisées sur le logiciel que ce soit pour du montage, de l'utilisation en post-production et surtout en étalonnage.

Si vous souhaitez apprendre à utiliser ce logiciel en post-production (labo), en montage ou en étalonnage cinéma, cette formation est faîte pour vous.

Etalonneur de métier je suis passé dans plusieurs boites de post-production parisienne (cinéma, tv, pub, clip, événementiel). Je donne maintenant des cours d'étalonnage dans une école de 3D à paris.

Pour moi cette formation me permet surtout de pouvoir transmettre ma passion.
