Join master storyteller and multiple Emmy award-winning international journalist Patricia Gras for this workshop on how to create meaningful video narratives without expensive equipment or prior experience.

Some have called this a new golden age of image and video, as many of us carry more video recording power on our cell phones than was available for much of the history of video journalism. We record our public and private moments with the ease of a simple click. But how do we shape them into stories that communicate the meaning of our experiences?

In this workshop, we will explore the basics of video storytelling. With hands-on training, we will discover how to develop narrative using storyboards and our video equipment, from the simplest phone to more robust video and DSLR cameras. No experience is necessary. Please bring your camera, a notebook, and a computer or tablet if you have one.
