My name is Olaf, I'm a professional trailer editor and filmmaker with over twenty years of experience. I love making trailers, and in this class, I share my process, my toolbox through small steps. Each lesson is designed to be actionable, to inspire you to learn by doing. We'll demystify the trailer making process.

The Class Project is completing a 1-minute trailer.

After this class, you can apply the skills in all areas of your creative realm, from creating a presentation, for a film concept or a business idea, increase the quality of visual marketing and your social media story.

This class is for beginners and for those who have some experience. All you need to begin this class is a pen and paper. Later in the course, we'll invite you towards using an editing software.

Here are some of the things you'll learn in this class:

  • The fundamentals of creating a trailer
  • A preparation process before starting to edit
  • Develop the clarity of concept & idea
  • Make an impactful short-form content 
  • Increase the quality of your visual presentation skills

Take a deep breath, shoulders down. Let's dive into the magical world of Trailers!
