If you are NOT familiar with the terminology and the interface for the software you want to learn, then these workshops are a MUST for you. Designed to give you an in-depth introduction to the software with just a tiny bit of hands-on time. In the Grand Tour - sit back, relax and let the features and capabilities of the software wash over you. Our experience with IATSE members shows that the Grand Tour class makes the first Hands-On class more productive, shortens the learning curve and ensures a better workshop and series of workshops for all.
