Great Stories, New Ways

Or, How to Use the Gadgets to Already Own, To Tell the Stories you Already Know

Join us for a one-day hand-on audio/video bootcamp that will give you the tools and confidence to tell your own stories to your online audience.

You’ll discover basic audio and video techniques that can turn the devices you own (cellphones, inexpensive digital cameras, etc.) into powerful storytelling tools.  You’ll discover how to spot, tell and distribute those stories in places your audiences already are: nerd free.  Plus, we’ll show you the basic concepts that underlie all social media.

Summer Media Arts Camp

Our new program teaches students how to become 21st century masters of the media arts, with hands-on training in photography, filmmaking, sound recording, writing, print production, and web publishing.

This one week program features daily lessons followed by practical exercises that give students an immediate opportunity to put theory into practice. Young mediamakers work in teams and are assigned to follow a CityArts Toronto Rock Camp band throughout the week, recording music and filming interviews and performances. At the end of the week, students screen their digital stories for classmates, parents, and local media professionals!

More information about out Summer and Fall 2010 Media Programs will be provided on this website shortly.
