You’ll arrive at the hotel, settle in, and take a moment to breathe after your journey. In the evening, we come together for our first dinner—expect delicious Italian cuisine throughout the week. After that, we kick off with a welcoming Q&A where you'll meet the mentors and fellow creators, go through the week’s plan, and talk about your personal goals. You’ll quickly notice: this isn’t a place for pressure or perfection—it's about growing together, asking questions, and enjoying the creative ride.

Storytelling & First Adventure
We start the week by exploring the foundation of great content: storytelling. It’s not just something for movies—strong storytelling is also what makes short content like Reels go viral. The best-performing videos often follow clear narrative structures, and we’ll show you how to recognize and use them. You’ll learn how to shape a message, build emotional impact, and think like a filmmaker—regardless of experience. In the afternoon, we head out for our first shooting adventure, where you’ll put ideas into practice and start capturing footage with a new sense of intention.

Entering Fusion & Lighting Like a Pro
Fusion often feels intimidating—but this session is designed to make it click. Whether you’ve never seen a node or you’ve followed a few tutorials without truly understanding them, we guide you through the logic behind it all so you actually understand what you’re doing. Step by step, you’ll start seeing Fusion as a creative tool, not a wall. In the afternoon, we explore the power of light—how it creates mood, depth, and atmosphere. With support from Nanlite, you’ll work hands-on with professional lighting setups that make a huge difference in your visuals.

Professional Correction & Applied Lighting
This day is all about learning how to correct your footage like a pro. You’ll get to know the advanced tools used by Hollywood colorists and understand how to gain full control over your image—not just by sliding dials, but by making intentional adjustments that serve your visual goals. It’s a deep dive into precision. In the afternoon, we head outside for another shooting session, where you’ll apply the lighting theory in real-world conditions and begin thinking like a cinematographer.

Sound Design & Motion Graphics
We open the day with sound—an often-overlooked part of filmmaking that can completely transform your edit. You’ll learn how to build immersive audio layers that blend music, dialogue, and effects into a unified experience. In the second half, we pick up where we left off in Fusion. Now that you’ve understood the basics, we’ll build our first motion graphics—custom text, animated elements, and designs you can use to add polish and personality to your videos.

Creative Grading & Shot List Adventure
In your first grading session, you learned how to correct your image. Today, we take it further. This is where you learn the difference between correction and grading—how to make bold, creative decisions that give your footage style, character, and cinematic impact. In the afternoon, we hit the field again—but this time, everyone works from a prepared shot list. Each participant captures their own material, and afterward we’ll share everything so you walk away with a rich library of diverse shots to work with.

Fusion 3D & Final Edit Masterpiece
You’ve probably seen those edits where 3D graphics float inside a scene and feel like part of the video—today, we’ll show you how that’s done. Even if you’ve never opened Fusion’s 3D space before, we’ll guide you step by step through placing elements like text or graphics into your footage. You’ll build your final project using real shots from the week, combining storytelling, design, color, sound, and animation into one standout edit. This piece will be portfolio-ready and uniquely yours—a result of everything you’ve learned.

Departure
After an inspiring and action-packed week, it’s time to head home—but what you take with you goes far beyond footage. You’ll leave with new skills, unforgettable memories, and real creative growth. You’ll also gain a network of fellow creators and future collaborators from across the world. And let’s be honest—your memory cards won’t be the only thing full. This experience will stay with you long after the flight home. Sardinia gave you the setting—what you created here is entirely yours.
