Produce a story worth telling
The HD video capability of today’s Canon EOS cameras makes it possible to tell your story like never before. Join a small group of your peers to learn key storytelling skills from Emmy award-winning photojournalist Sharon Levy Freed. Taking you beyond traditional home movies and disjointed footage, she reveals the secrets to crafting riveting videos complete with compelling audio.

This hands-on workshop covers each step of the storytelling process, including plot development, character recognition,  composition, creative lighting, sequencing, camera operation, and editing. Whether your interest is in documenting family events, capturing the world around you, or making a short film, you’ll gain the confidence and know-how to create visually stunning and engaging videos.

The workshop covers:
• Composition
• Lens selection
• Audio considerations
• Capturing reality
• Storytelling components
• Camera stabilization
• Editing, and more

The fee for this day-long event includes material costs and specialized equipment. Participants should be very comfortable with their Canon EOS equipment, as the instructor will be teaching at an advanced amateur level. Please bring your favorite camera and lens, tripod, plenty of memory cards and charged batteries. Most importantly, bring an open mind and energy to develop your own media production style.  A pro rep will be on hand to answer questions and assist with technical issues. Canon professional gear will also be available for loan. This workshop is limited to 16 students.

The City by the Bay is one of the most picturesque places in the country. From the charmingly crooked, winding Lombard Street, to Fisherman’s Wharf, to the Golden Gate Bridge and Alcatraz, there’s much to see (and photograph) in San Francisco.
