Long Story Short Workshops

February 2, 2012

In Golden Thread Stories workshops, students will produce a one to three minute digital story, using their own words and images.  Storytellers will explore the creative process of story development, record their own first-person narratives, and learn how to combine images, voice and soundtrack into a completed digital story.  All workshops include the following:

• Two dedicated facilitators
• Pre-workshop package and additional materials to support your learning
• Meeting and recording space with a computer for each student
• Screening time to show off your story!
• One DVD copy of your completed story for viewing on your home computer or TV

Many workshops will be held on a particular theme or issue.  If you have an idea you’d like to suggest, please contact us…we’dlove to hear it!

Standard 3-day workshop (24 hours)

Students will complete a three-minute digital story.  Various software may be used, depending on the workshop, including Final Cut (Mac), iMovie (Mac), Adobe Premiere (PC or Mac), PhotoStory (PC), or others.

Fee: $300

 Standard 2-day workshop (16 hours)

Students will complete a two-minute digital story.  Compared to the three-day workshop, story development time is slightly shorter and software and tutorials are simplified.

Fee: $225

 Standard 1-day workshop (8 hours)

Students will complete a one-minute digital story.  Students must bring a completed story and development time will be limited to a brief editing process.  Tutorials will be provided on basic editing software.

Some one-day workshops will focus on story development alone, with only audio stories recorded by the end of the session.  Additional visual editing can be done in a later workshop or by facilitators for an additional fee.

Fee: $150
