Boot camp for VJs
I’m attending the second Travel Channel Academy, in Silver Spring, Maryland, just outside Washington, D.C. It’s a four-day course in digital video: shooting, editing and storytelling. Each day will run about 10 to 11 hours; today (the first day) we went from 9 a.m. until 7:30 p.m. Michael Rosenblum and associates are leading the training, and it’s being blogged over at Rosenblumtv too. – more
