Multimeida Immersion 2009 – Day 3

picture-21

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.

Vegas Baby!

picture-11

I’m off to Vegas today for a week of non-stop multimedia fun at the NPPA conference in Las Vegas.  I am one of 25 coaches for a Multimedia Immersion workshop. The other coaches are some of the top multimedia minds in the country.  Vegas hasn’t seen this much talent in one room since the Rat Pack last played the Sands.

Check out this cool documentary about the history of Vegas from the folks at the Las Vegas Sun.

I’ll probably be posting often as the workshop develops, so check back often over the next week for nifty multimedia nuggets of knowledge, and inspirational work people involved in the workshop.

In the meantime, check out some of the really great work from other coaches at the conference.
