There are still a few spots open for our upcoming Advanced Multimedia Reporting Workshop, to be held in New York City July 17-23, 2010. Application deadline is May 16, 2010.

This is a workshop for seasoned storytellers who have professional multimedia experience and are looking to further expand their multimedia storytelling capabilities. Applicants should have a working knowledge of audio recorders, video and still cameras and non-linear editing software.

This is not an introductory workshop. Participants will be working at a fast-paced professional level, moving from story concept to a completed multimedia story in 6 days.

We will be holding two more Advanced Multimedia Reporting Workshops in 2010:

• Workshop Seven: July 17-23, 2010 – Application Deadline: Sunday May 16, 2010
• Workshop Eight: November 6-12, 2010 – Application Deadline: Monday September 13, 2010

Projects from previous workshops are available here.

“For so long I have been wanting to learn the tools and process behind the making of a multimedia piece. In one intensely packed week, with very little sleep, I truly believe I/we learned what it takes to bring storytelling to a new level. It was a wonderfully collaborative process that will forever inform my work. What an inspiring week that I urge others to experience.”

“I have not been this inspired about photography and photojournalism in almost ten years.

[MediaStorm] shares all of their cutting-edge awareness of how photography, audio, and video can work together, and you leave them feeling that you can take your work to a whole different level. I’m already thinking of things differently, trying to stretch beyond simply assembling still pictures to tell a story, and wondering how video and audio narrative might breathe some life into projects of my own.”

“To spend a week with the best people within the industry of multimedia production, the staff and teachers at MediaStorm, has been my best workshop-experience ever. From the pure journalistic storytelling to the technical aspects of producing a complex multimedia production I felt I developed a concrete platform to work and improve my multimedia storytelling on my own… Learning new ways to gather journalistic material also gave me new inspiration within the still photography field – and one thing is for sure: There is nothing comparable to this workshop.”
