As part of the buildup to the 11th Africa Magic Viewers Choice Awards AMVCA, Africa Magic and MultiChoice hosted Young Filmmakers Day, an initiative designed to mentor and celebrate the next generation of African storytellers.
This years edition focused on "Sound in Filmmaking," featuring a masterclass facilitated by Shawn Butler, an acclaimed sound engineer and producer whose portfolio includes award-winning African and international productions.
The masterclass took place at MultiChoice headquarters in the Ilupeju area of Lagos State.
The session covered practical microphone techniques, on-set professionalism, post-production workflows, and the critical role of audio in shaping cinematic meaning. Butler also highlighted the importance of cross-departmental collaboration.
