Read MoreKaleb and Elaine are not only 2 of the most genuine and encouraging humans in the wedding film industry, they are also audio wizards. I've always known that my audio skills were lacking, but I've never been able to find any resources that have truly helped me - until now. KEJ's Audio Masterclass is NEXT LEVEL, and I know that the skills I've learned in the masterclass will take my films from *meh* to *amazing.* Thank you Kaleb + Elaine for pouring your hearts + soul into this Masterclass...it's what the wedding film industry has been needing!

Watching this class for just the first hour or so has already explained audio concepts and ways to capture it that I have never come across in any sort of free education (google, youtube etc). KEJ are geniuses and share so much value in this course. I'm excited to dive deeper into the post production modules and really up my audio editing game!

Read MoreTo all of you thinking about this but not pulling the trigger: we spend so much $$ on senseless tech purchases.. upgrading cameras unnecessarily... etc! And when it comes to growing via new skills and education, we hesitate. DO NOT HESITATE here. I already bought the class and I’m flying though it and I’ve learned more about audio for filmmaking in 2 days than I had in the previous 2 years. This class is amazing. Don’t sleep on it. Audio is a thing that is SO IMPORTANT and that a lot of us just gloss over and barely get by doing! Sooooo GO GET THIS COURSE.

Read MoreAudio has always been a weak spot for me. In filmmaking, I always wanted to know as much as I could about lighting, cameras, editing, and audio, but audio was definitely the part that slipped through the cracks for me. When I heard about a course that not only was dedicated to what I do now - wedding films - but focusing on how to make audio better, it was a no brainer for me. I'm hoping to turn this weak point into a strength, and now I have the tools to do it!

Reception audio isn't that different from ceremony audio. It's just a bit more involved with communication. We'll teach you how to effectively communicate what you need from sound providers in this module. 2 videos on reception audio setup and best practices.
In this module, we walk through the process of transfer, back up, organize, and set up for Post Production Success in Final Cut Pro X and Premiere. 3 videos on post production setup, metadata and sync, platform differences.
Once you have captured your audio with great gain structure what do we do next? In this module, we walk through the basics of audio equalization or more commonly called EQ. It’s likely one of the most common, if not the most used tool to manipulate audio. 3 videos on equalization and the audio spectrum, EQ parameters, and EQ demonstration.
In this module, you will learn all about compressors and how we use them to smooth out a vocal track. 3 videos on how to use compression, best practices, and multiband compression.

Troubleshooting, Noise Reduction, and Audio Recovery
Weddings are a live event and you can't control everything. So what happens when you've done everything right and a baby cries during the vows? We cover that too. 7 videos walking you through Izotope RX, including demonstrations of how to apply noise reduction and recover audio.
FCPX & Premiere Presets Included
Enhance your narrative and take your films to the next level.
Absolutely. We start at the very beginning with the foundations of audio which EVERY filmmaking professional should know. As you move through the modules we continue to build on these foundational principles so that by the time you get to mix, you're talking and working like a real engineer.
Yes. This course has been tested with the wedding industry's most seasoned and successful filmmakers. Not only do we cover foundational principles of audio, but a large part of this course involves streamlining your workflow so your audio process is faster. We dive deep into setting yourself up for post-production success and how to manage mishaps because even when you do everything right concerning audio, unwanted noise happens! It's a live event after all.
Foundational audio and theory translates across all editing platforms. We work in Final Cut Pro X & Premiere Pro in this course.
YES. This course includes a 50+ page pdf guidebook that you can download and reference at any time. The value of the workbook alone is over $250 - an incredible value that we know will only continue to aid you as you become more confident in your audio abilities!
Short answer - yes, sure will. Long answer - the presets provide a great starting place for you as you begin to process and mix the audio for your films (which we teach you in depth in this course). The goal of this course is not to simply give you presets, but to provide knowledge AND tools so that you're effective and correctly processing audio so your film narrative is supported. Presets only get you so far which is why this course exists.
You will receive instant access to the full course and have it for life! This includes additional modules and demonstrations we will add over time.
At this time there is not a payment plan option and all sales are final. Partial modules and supplemental modules may be available for purchase at a later date.
