Would any of attend...

I'd post this in the events section if I had made the decision to do this. But since it's about Machinima and some sort of feedback is required, this is the best place I guess.

So.. I've had some free time as of late and been watching some of your films. Please no one take anything I have to say as a personal insult, as I understand most of you are amateurs. There is nothing wrong with that at all. But I have noticed that many of you might benifit from learning about editing.

Editing isn't about just assembling shots, pressing some buttons, and adding disolves. It's about telling a story, psychology, and pacing. Film in any form has a language that you have to learn how to read.

I am a trained working editor in real life. I edit commercials and tv for pay and indie films for enjoyment. Which doesn't really say all that much given the state of the industry here, but I do know a thing or two.

Since I have some free time, and at least a bit of knowledge on this subject I was thinking of holding some free classes in world. I feel that if I just pick a day/time and post an event it will get lost in the shuffle. Not to mention I don't even know if any of you want to pick my brain at all, which would make putting it together a big waste of my time.

This would mainly be classes on editing theory, not really the technical aspect since many of you use different programs.

If you get nothing else out of reading all this junk, here's a treat. The industry standard for editing programs is Avid. You can even get a version of it for free... Look see:Avid Free DV

Weekends are usually the most available since I'm in the UK. So.. opinions? Comments? Ect.
