The Poynter Institute and NPPA are hosting an epic day of all-star video presentations on October 15, 2011. Best of all, you don’t have to leave home to participate, and it’s available online if you’re busy the 15th. All presentations are video taped and registration allows you to view them whenever you choose.

Learn the go-to-tricks and watch video examples from award-winning professionals as they demonstrate their storytelling process. Anyone who tells stories with pictures and sound will benefit from the workshop.

Presenters:

Darren Durlach — three time NPPA News Photographer of the Year, Senior multimedia producer at the Boston Globe.

The Secrets to Natural Sound Stories: The tricks to letting people tell their own stories without narration.

Adam Vance – Co-chair of the NPPA’s NewsVideo Workshop from 10News/WTSP.COM in Tampa.

To Light or Not To Light: Good lighting on a not so good budget.

Michelle Michael – NPPA Solo Video Journalist of the Year.

Solo Standups that Stand Out: You don’t have to sacrifice stand ups just because you’re working alone; standups are how your audience gets to know you.

Boyd Huppert – five time winner of NPPA Photojournalism Award for reporting and National Emmy winner for writing, from KARE-TV

What’s my line?: Five killer writing tools every visual storyteller should master.
