Topic: Narrative Videos for the Storytelling Photographer
Speaker: David H. Wells
Description: Today’s successful narrative video maker creates brief, dramatic, visually compelling videos maximizing ambient sound and compelling visuals, while minimizing talking heads. In this class, you will be introduced to the basics of how to make these “new” videos, working as a one-person band, gathering video, audio, and still photographs. Those who attend the follow up class will learn, hands on, how to use simple editing techniques to turn the content into final videos. By going through the process from project inception, through capture, organizing and final output, we will take the intimidation out of video.
