Precision Camera & Video is sponsoring a weeklong Video Workshop - Transitioning to Video - in Austin starting on October 11th. The workshop is being produced by Dirck Halstead and the Platypus Workshops, acknowledged to be a leader in teaching Hi Definition Video and Editing to photojournalists, producers, journalists and amateurs. This workshop will be focused on still photographers transitioning to video.
Park Street, head of Professional, Educational and Commercial Sales for Precision, says "Precision Camera is thrilled to sponsor the best video workshop available today."
This will be the 39th Platypus Workshop to be taught around the country over the past decade. The workshops are known for their unique emphasis on story telling. Graduates of the workshops have gone on to produce documentaries for television, the web, and even films. A graduate, Tim Heatherington has just won the 2010 SUNDANCE FILM FESTIVAL top prize for documentaries with his film, RESTREPO, which is now playing in theatres across the country,
The workshop is limited to one dozen shoot n edit students. Students will provide their own HD cameras and Apple power books with Final Cut Pro or FC Express software. The cost of the workshop is $1500. We also offer participant seats, which do not shoot and edit, but work with the shoot n'edit people as a team for $750.
You may register at the Precision Camera & Video web site - <http://www.precision-camera.com/classes/dirck-halstead-platypus-video-workshop.html> or with Park Street at Precision Camera & Video - (512)467-7676 Ext. 360.
This is a wonderful opportunity to attend the best video workshop in the country and one aimed directly at still shooters transitioning to video.
Drew Carey certainly enjoyed his Platypus Workshop!
