Manhattan Edit Workshop Six Week Workshop Student Profile - Heather Smith from Manhattan Edit on Vimeo.

 

"I learned so much during my 6 weeks that is was equivalent to two semesters of a college class.  The workshop was a great combination of art and technology.  I can now use both FCP and Avid, and furthermore, I enhanced my background in the art of editing.  As a bonus, the instructors are extremely knowledgeable, and they keep the class fun."

-Lisa Tuvalo, Jun 2009 Graduate

"The instructors not only know what they’re teaching but they know how to teach. The support staff was very helpful and the owner of the school is serious about helping people find jobs after graduating.

Each of us had individual workstations and we didn’t just learn the programs - there were film viewings, readings and discussions on the aesthetics of editing, which was something else I was looking for in an editing class. All around I’d say it was definitely worth it."

-Dave Oates, Jan 2009 Graduate

"I just wanted to write you and say thanks for the wonderful experience at MEWShop.  I wish it never had to end.  The instructors there are AWESOME and I am so happy that I made the decision to take the class with you guys.  Really thorough and professional and I was very satisfied."

- Andreas Burgos, Jan 2009 Graduate

"I learned more in that six weeks than in the six years pervious."

-Frank Perotto, Feb 2008 Graduate, Editor, MTV

"I can't say enough good things about my experience at MEWShop. The incredible instructors go far beyond teaching the mere mechanics of editing - they teach you the Art of editing. Everyone at MEWShop has a passion and respect for the craft that is tangible and infectious and the atmosphere they create is focused on nothing less than each student winning. It is a VERY special place and it was truly an amazing experience."

-Valentine Sheldon, July 2007 Graduate, Editor, ABC, TLC, MTV, Lifetime, A&E, Bravo and VH1

"I was incredibly excited that the class was actually going to be about film, not just the mechanics of editing.  This was valuable to me in terms of my enthusiasm and spark to my imagination.  It provided a necessary foundation of interest to build my editing skills."

-David Blakie, Sept 2005 Graduate, Editor, Web Designer

"Knowing both Final Cut and Avid allows you greater opportunities as an editor.  It's that simple, and that's what I got at Manhattan Edit Workshop."

-Jason Beuaregard, Jan 2005 Graduate, Editor, Miami Ink, Vibe

"Seeing post facilities, talking to the people working there, getting tips on our reel from someone who would be in the position to look at it if we applied there, were great boosts to my confidence, excitement and knowledge. Better still, after the workshop, I got a job at one of them!"

-Christopher Green, Oct 2004 Graduate, Post Supervisor, Outpost Digital, Radical Media

"Of the connections I've made and the opportunities that have led me to editing work, almost 90% (I did the math) can be traced back to Manhattan Edit Workshop."

-Michael Slavens, Aug 2004 Graduate, Editor, Sam Adams, New York Sports Club
