Australian director Baz Luhrmann (Moulin Rouge!, Strictly Ballroom) has teamed up with Apple to host a free film making course on iTunes. Dubbed Set to Screen the course is formatted as a video podcast with accompanying course material that can be subscribed to and downloaded onto any PC or Mac via Apple's iTunes. Each episode is three to five minutes long and illustrates one aspect of the  work Luhrmann and his team are doing as they pull together Five of later episodes will include a creative challenge. Each time one of these episodes is released, students will have three weeks to complete the challenge and post it to the Apple Student Gallery. The 20 best projects submitted (10 high school and 10 college projects) will win a prizes ranging from iPods to MacBook Pros. The videographer who produces the project judged best overall will get a chance to go to The first two episodes in the course are currently up on iTunes. These are beautifully produced but provide only rudimentary introductory material. Will this project become more than an interesting case study about how to promote a film under the guise of a teaching opportunity? The only way to figure that out is to subscribe and follow along as it plays out over the next six months. ps: I am always surprised at how many people make the false assumption that you need an iPod to play content downloaded from iTunes. Everybody should have a copy of iTunes loaded onto a PC or Mac. iTunes is free and provides a wealth of free downloadable content, all of which can be played right on your PC or Mac. No need to pop for an iPod if you don't want one. Technorati Tags:
