This workshop will cover all major aspects of scripting and shooting a short non-fiction film in High Definition video. Over the 8 weeks participants will refine their idea and shoot it using Scribe’s Sony ZIU HD Camera. The class includes instruction in scriptwriting, production planning, HD camera operation, lighting for HD and sound recording. Projects can not be longer than 10 minutes and those exploring personal visions, social issues and/or community life are encouraged. Participants will work together as crew on each others’ projects.

Geared to beginners and those who want to refresh their skills, this workshop will teach camera operation, interior and exterior lighting design, composition and varied shooting styles and techniques. This workshop meets twice a week. Although not required, participants are encouraged to bring their own cameras, if they have them, in order to get the most from this workshop.

As a cinematographer Arthur Jafa has lensed striking images for Julie Dash, John Akomfrah and Spike Lee to name but a few. He is known for his longterm quest for an "authentic" black cinema. In his words “the idea(s) is obvious, the implementation is not.”

Over the past several years, Richard Power Hoffmann has perfected a new technique using a digital still camera exclusively to make films. The evocative time-lapse effects created gives the impression of being very costly, but in reality is well within reach of the most cost-conscious independent producers. This unique storytelling approach takes advantage of today's low cost yet high resolution digital still cameras to acquire better than HD resolution imagery, and then dynamically manipulate it in post-production.

Video on the web is every where but good video on the web is harder to find. This workshop will introduce participants to ways of shooting video specifically destined for the web and then prepare your media to be uploaded for the world to see. Participants will learn new media concepts and best practices, as well as practical and hands on techniques on how to shoot, compress, encode, upload and distribute your video and audio on the internet. The workshop will cover working with the major media formats such as Windows, QuickTime, Realplayer, and Flash.
