Posted by: | Comments (0)

I am preparing a workshop on video storytelling for some of my students — and that brought me to revisit this video I made for a conference I could not attend last year. It’s getting old in the sense that more alternatives are now available but still a pretty good wrap:

I produced this video in lieu of appearing on a panel that I was unable to attend at the National Press Photographers Association’s Northern Short Course in in Warwick, RI, in March 2011, considering tech concerns for educators teaching photojournalism students. Related links are below.

A crowd watches children singing on the 2100 square-foot video wall during the Comcast Holiday Spectacular at The Comcast Center in Philadelphia last night. A few blocks away last week, we dropped in on an older Philadelphia tradition, the Holiday Light Show at Macy’s, seen below.
