Multimedia: Know it all… or at least enough to get a job!
I spoke about Multimedia and the importance of web skills at The 71st Annual Canadian University Press Conference in Saskatoon. Here is my Presentation. Note that everything that is underlined in the presentation is a clickable link.
Multimedia and Audio Slideshow Editing Training
I spoke at MacEwan College back on November 14th about Multimedia and Soundslides. I tell my story as a Photojournalist, go through my portfolio, show some examples of audio slideshows that I have done and show how I edited and put them together with Audacity and Soundslides.
Enjoy!
Vortraits
Instead of taking still pictures of all my friends this Christmas I decided to take several video portraits or “vortraits” using my modified video camera and 35mm lenses.
I used a Canon HV20 video camera, a DIY 35mm DOF adapter made from a macro lens and a focusing screen and Canon 24mm f1.4, 50mm f1.8 and 85mm f1.8 lenses.
You can also watch it in full screen HD. (Click on “Watch in High Quality”)
