This course, taught by Matt Leonard, is going to be slightly different from our other Maya offerings because we�re going to be working alongside a new and very exciting project called �Moving Day�. This short film is being directed by award wining director Jason Wingrove. �Moving Day� tells the story of a young girl and her fight against the fairies who inhabit the garden of her new home. Our short film is literally being produced throughout the term and we�ll have first hand experience of working in post during a live project.

Joey shares his unique approach to lighting and Photoshop, and also provides a window into the business of the current photography industry that he broke into at the age of 16. Sessions With Joey L is more than just a tutorial DVD, it is a complete thought process. With educational material spanning nearly 4 hours in length, Joey provides insights into what it�s like having gone from the bottom to the top of an exclusive trade, and explains both the technical and personal skills one must develop to arrive there. Detailing experiences ranging from a Forbes assignment in New York, to the jungles of Ethiopia, Sessions gives you the tools necessary to bring out and expose your own style to a wider audience and client base.
