May 5-9, Chicago: Visual Editors is presenting a series of practical, hands-on Web video for newspapers seminars in Chicago

This is the brand new reel from my close colleague and master VJ instructor in the U.K., David Dunkley-Gyimah. David is joining Angela Grant and myself in Chicago May 5-9 to teach a week of video journalism classes. Visual Editors is planning more seminars like this at venues around the world, so stay tuned.

Future Visual Editors journalism training events will focus on multimedia blogging, social networking for reporters, advanced Web video and audio techniques and the mindset for mobile journalism. I am able to tap a global network of top instructors for these and I am fielding enquiries to host future events from heads of media groups in India, Oceania, Asia, Canada and Europe. Contact me soonest if you re interested in hosting a VizEds training event

Sweet home, Chicago
But this first workshop is in my native Chicago.
And David last night came up with a new name for it: Camp Videojournalism

The camp is a week-long video workshop that will run May 5 - 9. Classes include a two-day workshop at the beginner level, a one-day workshop on editing in Final Cut and a two-day workshop for advanced web video story forms and editing workflows. Students need only register and pay for the training classes that best suit them.

Hope to see you with your video camera in early May on the streets of Chicago.
