(Every Tuesday and Thursday from July 14 through July 30.)
Students learn basic camera editing skills while exploring different methods of storytelling. Each student produces short pieces investigating a subject of personal meaning based on their experimentation with video. Completed projects are uploaded to YouTube or Vimeo so they can be shared with the world. Projects include videos based on a haiku, personal essays, or political issues.
