For more details: DIY WebVideo Workshop Details

Do you want to spread the word about a product, a service, a concept, or a community? Using your own online video (including photo slideshows), you get that information to the folks who actually want to know. In this workshop, attendees will learn how to: plan, storyboard, shoot, edit, distribute and promote a short movie, using consumer-level equipment.

These days, we can make media with almost any device – but how should we tell our stories? Short or long? Filmic or frantic? The workshop will cover the principles of developing digital media stories plus techniques for optimizing the video for search, easy video distribution, and simple metrics using easily available, free services.

Attendees will also receive a PDF copy of: The DIY WebVideo Manual, written by Terri MacMillan. This is the step-by-step guide to creating a DIY video project, with an emphasis on telling the story effectively, including additional free and low-cost media and training resources.

“Terri not only gave me simple step by step instructions and useful information tailored to my media production needs, but she also provided handy written instructions so that I could remember my learning experience and know how to use the programs after the workshop. Thanks Terri!”
~ Stacey Vye, Educator & Video Workshop Alumnus

MIT Media Lab: Labcast #40 - Future of News

In June of 2009, the Center for Future Civic Media’s “Future of News and Civic Media” conference showcased some of the work done as a part of the Knight News Challenge, focusing on creative ways to provide people with the news and information needed to manage their communities effectivel

It’s been a long term dream of mine to attend the Media Lab: who knows, someday I’ll even make it happen! In the meantime, I’m very grateful for views of the work that so many people are doing in new media, in the future of news and even more, how communities talk with each other, influence and inform each other.
I was love the picture of women in India with their video cameras…

Well worth watching if you need a burst of optimism.

I’m very grateful to tech entrepreneur/mover and shaker Ed Dunn, founder of the phrase-based search engine Fooky who came on a fact-finding trip to Tokyo, got in touch with folks via Facebook and came down to Tokyo Hacker Space to talk about tech, life in Tokyo and beyond.

You can see the first part of our conversation below. Head to his blog, Dream and Hustle, for parts 2 & 3.
