Description
Small, inexpensive, and easy-to-operate digital camcorders and desktop and laptop editing software have changed the face of video and television production. What used to be expensive, complicated, and difficult is now inexpensive and remarkably easy to do.
We'll teach you to script, shoot, produce, edit, and upload video that is broadcast quality. It's easier than you think. Video is often the best way to communicate ideas or offer instruction. As the web moves to video, it's critical that everyone learn to work in this remarkably powerful medium.
Why You Should Attend
Video is the most powerful medium of communication we've ever invented. The average American watches an astonishing 4.2 hours of television PER DAY. Video is the lingua franca of the planet. It's a powerful way we communicate ideas and information to one another.
We're all print literate, yet despite the enormous power of television and video, the vast majority of us are video illiterate. The invention of inexpensive digital cameras and simple laptop edit software is the 21st Century equivalent of Gutenberg's invention of the printing press. What the printing press did for writing and publishing, these technologies now do for video, making it possible for anyone with an idea to "publish" in this medium. You just have to become video literate.
What You'll Learn
The basics of video literacy: the grammar of video storytelling, the technology that makes it possible, the techniques you need to know.

Speaker and Presenter Information
Michael Rosenblum has been on the cutting edge of the digital "videojournalist" revolution for more than 18 years. During this time, he has lead a drive for video literacy, and the complete rethinking of how television is made and controlled. Michael's work has included: The complete transitioning of The BBC's national network (UK) to a Video Journalist–driven model, starting in 2002. The complete conversion of The Voice of America, the U.S. Government's broadcasting agency, (and the largest broadcaster in the world), from short–wave radio to television broadcasting and webcasting using the "VJ" paradigm (1998–present). The construction of NYT Television, a New York Times Company, and the largest producer of nonfiction television in the United States. He was both the founder and President of NYT TV, (all based on the "VJ" paradigm – 1996–1998). The President and Founder of Video News International, a global VJ–driven newsgathering company, with more than 100 journalists around the world. (1993–1996). Michael has also designed, built and implemented VJ–driven news channels around the world, including Time/Warner's New York 1, Associated Newspapers (UK) London based Channel 1, Young Broadcasting stations in the United States, Switzerland's largest commercial TV broadcaster, TeleZuri, as well as a host of smaller projects such as Eritrea's ERI–TV and Sri Lanka's SLBC.

He has also produced for ABC, CBS, Oxygen, and the BBC. Most recently his groundbreaking 5Takes series for Discovery has completely rewritten the production paradigm. The company currently has more than 50 hours in production for this year alone. He has conducted his unique VJ training classes all over the world, from Thailand to Marrakech, and has lectured extensively both overseas and in the United States. Michael is an adjunct professor of communication at New York University, where he teaches "Television and the Information Revolution," a course of his own design, and at The Bauhaus in Germany.
