The training program for Gimbals and Drones centers on producing captivating and impactful video content through the use of drones and handheld gimbals, with the goal of developing social media campaigns, branding plans, and other forms of communication for corporate and government organizations.

This class will provide students with practical experience in the production, filming, editing, and distribution of high-quality video projects. By learning how to develop a compelling narrative and story arc, students will learn how to create videos that effectively capture and retain their audience's attention.
