About this Event

at the Gibson Art Museum and SFU School of Communication
Open to all youth aged 13–19.
Free with registration. Limited space.
No experience needed!
This intro workshop will enrich your storytelling ability with a deepened understanding of sonic textures and poetic sound design to create a soundtrack that accompanies a short video.
You will record and edit in a real university production studio with vocal booth and production suite, compliments of the SFU School of Communication!
The workshop starts at the Gibson, with an overview of how to use microphones in the field to capture different types of sound. After recording outdoors, we then head to the audio lab in the SFU School of Communication to edit and compose. There, you'll select a video and create a soundtrack for it. You'll have the option to weave in special effects and voices, using the lab's editing tools and on-site sound-booth.
Intimidated by audio technology? Don’t be! This workshop meets you where you're at to help you expand on what you already know about sound. Through hands-on exercises and experiments, you'll learn how to tune in dimensions of complex sounds and discuss the meaning of what you hear with others. Because after all, using audio to tell a good story involves a lot more than knowing how to turn a dial or flip a switch!
Learn how to use a microphone and listen to details, creating custom sounds to enhance your own projects, including movie soundtracks, radio dramas, documentaries, podcasts, music compositions, and even science projects.
Please note: Upon registering, a parent or guardian will need to sign a consent form on behalf of their teen.
