In continuation of its virtual classes, students of MultiChoice Talent Factory Academy (MTF) West Africa will, on Friday, have a 30-minute online class tagged ‘Produce Like a Pro!’ The online session will give the students an insight into practical, industry expert-led skills to produce content like professionals.
According to Femi Odugbemi, Academy Director, MTF West Africa, the Produce Like a Pro! series is part of MultiChoice’s mission to upskill emerging creatives and seasoned professionals in the Film and TV industry. “The Produce Like a PRO! series is our answer to the industry need for easier access to training material, tutorials and templates.
“What makes the Produce Like a PRO! series unique is that it’s been specially designed as an A to Z package for tools and templates to equip new producers with the know-how to operate in this industry,” Odugbemi said.
The Produce Like a PRO! series is also rooted in breaking down the barriers of access to industry information, ensuring that veteran knowledge and experience are passed on to the next generation of African storytellers. The series also compliments recorded masterclasses, which address industry concerns such as accessibility, opportunity, and quality in local productions.
Speaking about the MTF virtual classes, John Ugbe, Chief Executive Officer, MultiChoice Nigeria, said: “MultiChoice is committed to enriching lives by improving the skills of talents in the film and television industry in Nigeria and the MTF Academy will, over time, deliver a more professionalized, networked film and television industry across Africa and an expanded community of highly skilled professionals who are passionate about creating quality home-grown content.”
Other critical topics to be discussed in subsequent online sessions at the MTF Academy include Film Scripting, Online submission of Scripts, Silent Film, Short Film Submission, Mix and Deliverable, Online Video Session, Dolby Atmos Overview among others.
