DMA Instructor Travis Schlafmann

After graduating from UCSC with a degree in film and digital media production, Travis directed a technical summer camp for youth during which he also instructed digital video and stop motion animation. Over the past year, Travis has been the director of photography on 4 music videos, shot and edited several corporate videos as a freelance videographer/editor, and also completed a 20 min extreme sports video which played in several venues. Travis edits with Final Cut Pro on a daily basis and in the past has been hired to travel around the country and teach it to both teens and adult learners.

Travis’ background in sports started at an early age. He grew up playing all the mainstream sports, i.e. baseball, football, and soccer etc. In 1985 Travis got his first skateboard and has skated ever since. As a teen, Travis competed in the United States Amateur Snowboarding Association NationalChampionships. Travis is actively pursuing his dream of combining his passion of extreme sports with his technical background in film/video production, and enjoys teaching it to everyone. With an abstract editing style and viewpoint, Travis seeks to create a unique approach that breaks conventional norms & attracts extreme sports fans everywhere.
