This workshop is designed to teach HD video camera skills to producers, journalists, editors, writers, business organizations, nonprofits, and even citizen journalists who want to become proficient in shooting video stories for the web.  Workshop participants will finish the class having produced, shot and compressed a 3-5 minute video story ready to upload to the internet. This course focuses on creative and technical aspects of HD video acquisition, lighting, audio gear and editing systems.

Students are required to submit a proposal for a 3-5 minute story designed specifically for webcast that can be shot over the course of several days. After intensive training on field cameras and audio production equipment, they will be provided with ENG camera production packages and an intensive editing workshop that will also serve as a critique of their field camera work.  Shooting and compression strategies for the web are a central part of the curriculum.

Course focus is on intensive HD technical camera training and little or no camera experience is required.  Very basic knowledge of Final Cut Pro editing software is helpful but not necessary.
