Epic podcast!

Much richer in useful guidance than most

Make no mistake, montage is one of the most powerful spectacles we can construct in editing. It serves so many purposes and can create so many powerful emotions if crafted well. But understanding the theories and techniques beneath this alluring visual skill is by no means simple.

In this month’s Bootcamp Paddy demystifies the art of montage by taking apart all of it’s laws and giving you the tools and techniques to build this irresistible visual stylisation. Quite simply, if you do not master this particular part of our art form, you are an incomplete editor.
