Movie Magic: Danish Film School Spreads its Wings with Avid
PETER POSGAARD, TECHNICAL MANAGER AT THE NATIONAL FILM SCHOOL OF DENMARK
"Working on shared storage for editing, grading and finishing has completely changed our workflow. Before we were very limited by the local storage, but now we’re able to access the storage from workstations all over the school. This flexibility, combined with the speed and reliability of the technology, has transformed the editing process for our students."

"Don’t underestimate really knowing your stuff, especially the tools. Work 100-hour weeks for almost nothing. Be at the right place at right time and have the right skill set and attitude. You need to be prepared to go for it."
For Students of SIMUSIC at Woosong College Avid S6 Is the Golden Ticket to Success
SUNG CHEOL LIM, PROFESSOR AT WOOSONG COLLEGE
"What’s more important is to learn how to mix with the software, not how to use a mixing controller. So it really contradicts the whole point of having a controller if it takes too much time learning how to use it. Everything has to be right there, intuitively accessible. I think that is what Pro Tools | S6 is all about."
