WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT?
Investing in film, art and digital technology education benefits our local economy and individuals looking to develop new skills.
Film and TV production is booming in Georgia. In 2014 the film industry generated an economic impact of $5.1 billion, 77,900 jobs and $3.8 billion in wages.
BE A PART OF THE FILM LAB!
Film Athens is a non-profit organization that serves and educates the film community and fosters the growth of the film industry in Northeast Georgia. Film Athens has been providing resources, workshops, film exhibitions, and community outreach since 2004.
Film Lab (the plan!)
The Film Lab
The film industry in Georgia is
growing every year, with an estimated
5.1 billion dollar impact on our
state's economy. With an even more
skilled workforce of Georgians, we
can continue to build on those
economic numbers and keep quality,
good paying jobs right here in Athens.
But these new professionals are going
to need the right skills to compete
and that's where the Film Lab comes
in.
To bring the Film Lab up to date,
we're looking to raise $10,000 to upgrade
our post-production facilities.
This will bring in all of the software
programs on the Adobe Cloud. Editing
software, effects programs, sound
design, animation, everything for
complete post-production suites.
Also, we'll be able to access
Lynda.com, a set of over 3000
professional-level web-based
tutorials. Finally, we'll be able
to bring in a sound recorder and
microphones for ADR sound recording.
Once we accomplish this first coal we will be able to invest in tools to improve our production and pre-production education.
Sound Lab
The Sound Lab
The Sound Lab is a room within the Film Lab that has sound mixing, recording and ADR capapbilities.
Our plan is to outfit this room with post production sound software ProTools and improve the
sound recording ability with a new microphone and sound proofing.
