Introduction to Final Cut Pro
Introduction to Final Cut Pro is an ongoing workshop taught by Malik Salaam and Alex Lukens that is held on the 2nd Tuesday of every month from 6:30-8:30pm. Introduction to Final Cut Pro serves as a way to familiarize members with the basics of editing video footage in a nonlinear format. This workshop is for the beginner who wants to get started in learning a program that is industry standard. Class size is intentionally small, so that the instructors can ensure that each student gets the most that they can out of this two hour session. This workshop will meet in the digital media lab.
Instructor Malik Salaam is an Atlanta based filmmaker. Salaam has edited several projects, including his first feature film and current web series.

Introduction to Guitar
Introduction to Guitar will provide members with little or no experience on the guitar with the knowledge and techniques to enjoy playing music.

The workshop will take place on Monday evenings from 8-9pm in WonderRoot’s recording studio. It will meet on June 3rd, June 10th, June 24th, and July 1st.
