Our first workshop out of three at this years NPAC conference in Toronto on April 22 & 23.
Ryan Jackson / Full Circle Visuals Inc.
Video Workshop: Frame Grab the News, Film the Story
Workshop description:
The demand for video and demand for photographers to produce video has exploded in the last decade, but how do you make money creating that content? Is shaky iPhone footage good enough or a race to the bottom?
Ryan Jackson will give away all his secrets for being more productive and capturing quality video no matter what device you are using. Often the simplest tricks can make the biggest difference.
This workshop will include practical tips that apply to any newspaper staffer or freelancer. Topics will include choosing the right tool for the job, gear management, live streaming video, 4K frame grabs, 360VR, industry trends and the state of online video monetization.
