Workshop 1: Digital Video Editing | Workshop 2: Creating a VideoPaper | Policies | Fees
|
These workshops are designed for participants who have an interest in analyzing digital video and creating multimedia documents such as VideoPapers. The workshops may be taken together or separately. Most participants will find it most useful to attend the workshops in order (#1 before #2). It is expected that participants are computer users of average experience who are able to perform basic computing tasks, such as browse the Internet, send/receive email and use software programs such as Microsoft Word. Participants who have experience in website design or digital photography will find some concepts in the workshops familiar.
|
| Pre-Workshop: Custom planning meeting |
| Before your group attends either one of the workshops, I will have a conversation with you by phone or in person (distance permitting) prior to the workshop, in order to |
- Set goals for the workshop
- Customize the agenda by
|
|
| |
- including additional items, such as Photoshop basics; or
- removing items, such as transitions in video editing or closed captioning in VPB
|
|
- Coordinate technical logistics to make sure we have everything we need for success
- Provide you with information to help prepare your participants to get the most out of the workshop
|
| The time and cost of travel (within 20 miles of Tufts) for these conversations is included in the workshop fee. |
Workshop 1: Digital Video Editing
| Participants will import, edit, and export digital video from mini-dv tape to Quicktime, using iMovie for Mac or Roxio Easy Media Creator 8 for Windows. Participants are expected to arrive at the workshop with a piece of video that they have shot prior to the workshop. A useful length for the unedited video is approximately 30 minutes; the edited video will be <10 minutes. It is recommended that participants view the video prior to the workshop and also that they bring with them any two-dimensional artifacts, such as student work and/or handout materials for scanning. |

Please note that while VPB workshops may be attended by a mix of Mac and Windows users, DV editing workshops with 2-5 participants must be entirely either Mac or Windows.

There are no set fees for workshops. I prefer to to work individually with the client to arrange workshops that are the best possible match to the client's needs. Each client's needs are different, and each facility has different resources. Please contact me to discuss what will work best for you.

I will work individually with workshops of up to 5 participants. With 6-10 participants I will bring a co-instructor. With 11-15 participants, I will bring two co-instructors. With 16-20 participants, I will bring three co-instructors. |
