You will learn how to use your DSLR, along with tips and tricks to make it an incredible tool for you in editorial, corporate and filmmaking settings. We will teach you field sound recording, cinematic storytelling, the use of lenses, tripods, multimedia applications, and Apple's latest Final Cut Pro editing software. All in an action-packed, exciting, entertaining, and informative 9 days.

It is unique in the industry. We have taught over 300 photojournalists since our inception in 1999.

One of our graduates was a nominee for an Oscar in 2006 and the 2010 winner of the Sundance Film Festival Documentary Award for his film Restrepo, was our Platypus Graduate the late Tim Heathington.
