Multimedia Immersion 2009 is well under way as we enter into day 3. The students have learned a lot about storytelling methods and techniques for shooting video.
Today gets a little intense as we introduce most people to Final Cut Pro for the first time.
Of the roughly 50 students, most paid their own way in an effort to make themselves more competitive. This seems to be a growing trend. A friend of mine, Maya Alleruzzo, AP photographer in Baghdad, recently finished the Platypus video training course in Portland, Ore. She had little experience with video before going in. Digital Journalist did a story about her training in their latest issue, and you can see from the video, that she is definitely a threat with a video camera now.
