Hi there, I’m Kirby Ferguson! I’m best known for the series Everything is a Remix. I’m seeking financial stability and personal fulfillment in the second act of life. These thoughts are a work in progress.

Learn Everything I Know About Making Videos

I am thrilled to announce my next project! It’s my first-ever cohort class and I am using all the exclamation points!!!

It’s called Everything I Know About Making Videos. And it’s exactly what it sounds like – it’s everything I know about writing, research, editing, design, mixing audio, and more. It’s over a decade of knowledge about video essay production distilled down into a single class.

Answers to anticipated questions

What if the schedule doesn’t fit my schedule?
Alas, the schedule can’t fit every schedule or time zone. However, you can download the sessions afterward and follow along on your own schedule.

What will I produce in this class?
You can pursue whatever goal you want, but I recommend you, y’know, create a video! If you don’t have a project ready to go, I’ll help you make one up. It doesn’t have to be amazing, it’s an exercise.

Do I have to be a video maker?
The class is aimed at people making videos, but lots of what I teach could apply equally well to text, audio, visual, or other projects. I’ll cover writing, knowledge management, research and how to manage small but complex projects.

Is this a video editing course?
This is not a video editing course. There are loads of ways to learn video editing software. There will be some video editing tips and tricks, but you’ll need to learn how to use that software on your own. I won’t be doing comprehensive instruction on any particular software.

Do I have to use a particular video editing software?
No, use whatever you want. I’m experienced with Davinci Resolve, Premiere Pro, and Final Cut and will feature them all.

What else will I learn?
That’s still developing but here’s a bit more!

• The complete workflow for making a video essay in the Everything is a Remix style

• How to get a powerhouse software suite for 70 bucks (Mac or Windows). No Adobe, no subscriptions!

• How to source high-quality clips and media

• How to obey copyright… or safely bend the rules
