DSLR video and story telling

Super1Day_Letterhead_Header

This May I’ll be jumping into the teaching world and leading a class as part of the Professional Photographer’s of America’s Super 1 Day on DSLR video: shooting & editing.

The class will discuss a bit about scripts and storyboards, sound and lighting, editing and sharing, and more. We’ll start with an overview of video systems, TV and DSLR and then examine how to capture the right images for your story and discuss editing capabilities and attributes that all modern systems, from FCP, Premiere, Avid, Edius and even Photoshop have – learn what you want to use and when.

I’ll also walk you through camera technique and basic settings you want to use to enhance your production.
We’ll do a few live demos where you’ll have a chance to shoot-and-edit your own video short. This hands-on opportunity will allow you to practice what you’ve learned with plenty of time for Q&A at the end.
Take it from someone who knows what they’re doing – and make it yours!

How do I use my DSLR? Wanna see some of my work?
Vimeo is where I keep some of my favorite video portfolio pieces.

And of course since we’ll already be at St. Louis’ NBC affiliate we may as well take a quick tour of the TV station’s news room, control rooms and studios.
