Done THE GARAGE LEARNING: The Next Generation Online Film School

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/garagelearning/the-garage-learning-where-art-meets-science


Story

THE GARAGE LEARNING will be the first online film school that also teaches Visual Engineering, a new and exciting form of visual storytelling that combines art and science with cutting-edge technologies.
I am Steve Giralt, founder of The Garage, a production company that shoots amazing TV commercials for some of the world’s biggest brands—using Visual Engineering!

We make videos that artfully drop burgers from the sky, explode all types of food midair, and get slow motion to look so natural. It’s a lot of fun! Now, I want to bring the years of knowledge my team and I have gathered and innovated in our Garage to yours.

The Garage Learning is for anyone and everyone—filmmakers, photographers, food stylists, tinkerers, hobbyists, bloggers, entrepreneurs, makers, you name it! Our courses are great for kids and teens too!

We want to empower everyday people who are passionate about commercial filmmaking and photography, while also teaching important skills like electronic circuit design, the basics of robotics, engineering, pneumatics—and so much more along the way.

To start, we will offer Beginner, Intermediate/Advanced, and Pro online subscriptions, available through our interactive website. Each of The Garage Learning’s lessons will be created and taught by myself, The Garage team, and a wide range of industry leaders across film, engineering, art, and science.

BEGINNER SUBSCRIPTION
Beginner lessons are for creators with smartphones as their main visual tool, and little to no Visual Engineering experience. If you love to tinker, create, experiment, and learn—or are a parent looking for hands-on, educational activities for your kids—these courses are for you. We recommend checking out the “Taste Tester” reward, which grants you access to one class of your choice; and the One Year Beginner Subscription.

INTERMEDIATE / ADVANCED SUBSCRIPTION
Intermediate/Advanced lessons are for users who may have a DSLR or Mirrorless camera, and maybe even some lights. You may be a still photographer who wants to get into shooting better videos, or a film student who wants to learn how commercials are engineered. If you’re comfortable with using your camera and have had some experience with photography or film, you’ll be able to get these lessons as part of our One Year Intermediate/Advanced Subscription, or as part of the Professional Subscription.

PRO SUBSCRIPTION
Pro lessons are designed for working professionals who want to learn new techniques and ways of working with higher-end cameras and tools; or for those interested in learning how to manage a commercial image making business. For either scenario, be sure to check out our One Year Pro Subscription.

With multi-level access, when you select the Intermediate/Advanced or Pro course subscriptions, you'll gain access to all the lessons in the lower tiers too!

Due to popular demand, we've already sold out our Lifetime All Access reward but have extended our All Access Subscription to five years! Exclusively through this campaign, we're offering a HUGE discount of 80% off the post-campaign pro-level pricing. You will get unlimited access to all our Beginner, Intermediate/Advanced, and Pro classes for five years.

Our online classes will follow an in-depth structure, with detailed course content, hands-on activities, and comprehensive assessments that walk you through every aspect of becoming a Visual Engineer. In comparison to bland, step-by-step tutorials, our courses are designed to inspire creativity and give you skills that you can apply to your own creative projects and produce new original work.



As a global community, we want to give back using the money we raise in this campaign to start a worldwide scholarship program, increasing accessibility and opportunities to innovate for those who need it most. We will be offering 10 scholarships for every $100,000 raised, with each scholarship including a free 1 Year Intermediate / Advanced subscription. If you are interested, please email scholarships@the-garage.tv and tell us a bit about yourself and what you would like to learn most!



We are also offering high-quality Learning Kits with all the technological tools you will need to use in conjunction with your online courses. The Learning Kits will bring technology and engineering skills to filmmaking, giving users a hands-on way of learning complicated mechanical and electrical systems normally not taught in any sort of art school.

The kits will include instructional videos and bonus projects on our website. Between the courses, and these fun, interactive tools, you’ll be able to create next-level videos of your own!

Want to try custom making these kits yourself? The Intermediate/Advanced course includes access to all the kit building videos! Check out the video below to learn more about our kits!
