Multimedia Storytelling June 24-30, 2013

Nord Photography Workshops, Oslo, Norway
This week long workshop is split into two levels. The first level will focus on a basic multimedia introduction for photographers who want to add audio to their images. The second level will explore motion and the more advanced concepts of storytelling.

Visual Storytelling with Audio July 17-20, 2013

Santa Fe Photo Workshops, Santa Fe, NM.
Our first stories were spoken. Soon we learned to write, and then we learned to create visual stories by making photographs. Now technology has closed the circle, allowing us to easily add the power of sound and motion to create more powerful stories in multimedia. During this Workshop, students will produce a short powerful multimedia story that is reported, captured and edited in Santa Fe.

Advanced Multimedia Techniques July 07-July 13, 2013

Maine Media Workshops Rockport, ME

In this master class, students learn to use all the tools of multimedia more fully. Capturing video scenes and sequences are discussed, more advanced interview techniques, rack focusing, time-lapse and sequence photography is explored along with workflow and story structure. This medium to advanced level class is the next step, a practical guide to using these techniques in the field. Here are three great projects from a previous class.
