**Intermediate Adobe Premiere Editing Workshop** **Two sessions!** **Tuesday, April 28 and Thursday, April 30, 6:30pm to 9:00pm at Docs In Progress** [Sign Up Here ](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/intermediate-adobe-premiere-editing-registration-1981787202872) Learn Advanced Workflows in Color, Sound, and Storytelling This two session intermediate-level Adobe Premiere workshop is recommended for anyone who already understands the core competencies of the Premiere editing suite, or for anyone who has used Premiere on‐and‐off but wants better mastery of the software. We’ll be covering three main sections in the workshop: **Color Correction**: Explore primary color grading, luminance correction, the Reference Monitor, Fast Color Corrector, secondary color correction with the motion trackers in CC, Adjustment Layers, white balance (including indoor vs. outdoor), skin tones, and plug-in effects like Lumetri color engine. **Audio Post-Production**: Topics to be covered include interview surgery (e.g., killing long, awkward pauses), room tone, smooth transitions and the sound of a breath, noise reduction, spectral layers for sound removal, high-pass and low-pass filters for wind, hum, and feedback attenuation, and creating markers for music cues. **Special Effects for Documentary**: While documentaries typically use fewer special effects than narrative films, some can still benefit filmmakers seeking cost-effective post-production solutions. This section covers special effects options and plug-ins in Premiere. The focus here is on Premiere and its plug-ins, rather than After Effects or other software. **LOCATION:** Docs In Progress, 8560 2nd Ave Suite 113, Silver Spring, MD 20910

A mysterious spire shrouded in purple mist has been seen in the jungles of Ukulam, a continent spanning nature preserve on the planet Castrovel.

Intrigued by reports of the vanishing spire, Venture-Captain Arvin has secured permission to dispatch a team of Starfinders to Ukulam to locate and explore the mysterious structure.

The Eagle Knights of Andoran have called upon the Pathfinder Society for backup while they handle the citadel, requesting that they rescue the civilians and prevent any unneeded harm. While the Pathfinders are moving throughout the town, they learn of a secret way into the citadel, and though it's not without its dangers and threats, they could learn *so much* from the enemy...

*Betrayal at House on the Hill* is a popular horror-themed board game where 3-6 players explore a haunted mansion, building the map as they go, until a "Haunt" event turns one player into a traitor, flipping the game from cooperative to asymmetric, one-vs-many gameplay with different win conditions for the traitor and heroes. The current version is the 3rd Edition, featuring updated art, characters, and rules for 50 different scenarios (Haunts).

This is one of our regularly occurring drop-in sessions. We need a minimum of 4 players for this event to occur. Curious about Dungeons & Dragons but never played before? Learn how to play classic Dungeons & Dragons with other newbies and go on perilous adventures in a dark fairytale world called Dolmenwood. This will be a beginner-oriented introductory session involving exploration, strange monsters, clever problem-solving, and some intrigue. You do not need to know the rules ahead of time and you do not need to bring anything, as I have dice, pencils, and premade character sheets for all players. Just show up, jump in, and see if it is your thing! This will be a one-off adventure, with potential to continue on if everyone is interested. I will send the exact location to you once you are signed up.
