Description

With the advent of new technology and a changing world, photographers are now becoming “imagists” of a new breed. It is no longer necessary to carry heavy video equipment, and other sound and lighting apparatus. Today digital still cameras have a “movie mode” which can capture the world in motion for both creative and documentary purposes. Join us, for an exciting trip to Daytona Beach for Biketoberfest. (One of the largest festivals for motorcycle enthusiasts in the world.) We will partake and document as many activities as possible: food, music, entertainment, and all major manufacturer motorcycle displays. In conjunction, we will learn how to shoot and edit “Digital Media” footage which can be shown as a theatrical release, or onto websites such as YouTube. Finished videos can also be emailed to clients, colleagues, friends and family. Using the simple but powerful program “iMovie,” we will produce a powerful “Digital Media” DVD. Our workshop will document the exciting events of BIKE WEEK for all its “chrome and glory,” as well the people who are drawn to this massive motoring culture. We will be shooting for 3 days acquiring digital footage and then go back to the Photographic Centre for another 2 days to edit our footage and produce a finished DVD. We will learn to take the source material (stills and digital media) and input it into the iMovie program. We will get familiar with the pull down menus and time line. We will go over transitions as well as special effects to add excitement to our project. We will also learn how to edit and cut clips, along with adding sound. The final step will be to learn how to burn a DVD using Apple’s iDVD program and make a professional presentation.
