From the internet to the iPad, there are so many new ways to share the stories of your travels with the whole world. But with the prominence of the screen in the way most people consume media these days, static image galleries and Flickr pages just don’t cut it anymore.

For the last few years, in additon to his magazine work, Bob Krist has been producing multimedia travel stories and short videos for National Geographic Traveler‘s blog, the Greater Philadelphia Tourism & Marketing Corporation, the Wall Street Journal, Reader’s Digest, and a host of other clients.

This workshop will help you make the transition from shooting travel stills to making travel multiemdia. Bob covers audio gathering shooting for story, getting started in video, and other techniques for working as a one-man, multimedia band. He will present several projects, and talk in detail about the gear, the logistics, and the software used to produce them.

Students will work in either iMovie 11 or Final Cut Pro X, and by week’s end, will have produced a short, 1-3 minute multimedia piece.
