One Day Shooting Course At Guardian Media Academy

You will be leaving the building in a few minutes…

This week we start our partnership with The Guardian, what is, in my opinion, the best newspaper in the world.

They also employ my good friend Gary Younge as a columnist.

We have been running our usual 4-day intensive VJ training bootcamp here, but as an experiment we offered a one day intensive shooting course. It starts (and ends!) today.

We have never done this before, but so far, so good.

We’ve gotten a pretty good turn-out.

Our participants are not journalists, but rather across the boards they are, for the most part, employees of websites that are just moving to vieo.

Good.

We think this is a positive move and a big growth area for video.

We’ll let you know how the day goes.

Some are staying on for the one-day editing session tomorrow.

We like The Guardian and we think that this is just the beginning of a beautiful relationship.
