What People Are Saying
~Actor~
Amber Blake's workshop is super helpful, informative and fun! She is a great teacher of great talent. She is also a fellow actor which means she has my back! Her passion for filmmaking inspires me so much as an actor who has also started making her own films. I didn't know the first thing about editing a film nor had I even heard of Davinci Resolve before taking her workshop. Amber breaks down the editing process in such a compressive way that it has turned editing into a totally doable and fun task for me. The tools she has given me are so empowering in my filmmaking journey. I am so grateful for her!
~Actor~
"Amber has great editing skills and she will make sure you have it too! She is really patient with her students and will make sure you leave the class with, not only editing skills but with an abundance of creativity as well! I can't wait to work with Amber again!"

Amber Blake is a fantastic teacher. Creative and patient too! I have taken the DaVinci video editing class and the Canva Workshop this week and I feel much more confident in editing clips and creating movie posters for my new production company. Thank you Amber!

~Actor~
Loved making the movie poster in class tonight!! Everyone should take this class especially if you are creating content, you need to know how to make posters, and use Canva!
~Actor~
My editing software was limiting me, so I took Amber Blake’s DaVinci Resolve Workshop and a whole new world began opening up for me! She teaches this tool with precision, while tailoring communication to speak to the unique needs of the individual. She is a natural and moves the class forward while allowing time for others working at different paces. Amber is a multitalented actress, which gives her valuable editing perspective. This class is essential for empowerment in editing self reliance.
~Actor~
To say that I feel like a winner tonight is an understatement. And to say that I enjoyed it that much cuz it was with you guys is another understatement. Thanks for teaching us. I loved it!
~Actor~
This was an amazing class. I was not familiar with this software, which exists for general folks as well as professionals. Amber goes through how to exactly edit images/clips and sound and use the software to make the clips for your film into a finished piece ready to submit to film festivals and use online. Fantastic!
