Video: Safari in Egypt’s White Desert

Here is a short reel of some footage shot this week in the White Desert and Akabat Desert regions of Egypt’s western desert area. There is so much more material from the five days I spent camping and filming and I will be using the scenes in a new video I am editing this week that brings together many elements of the training and filmmaking I have been producing with Egyptian journalists over the last four weeks. This is just a taste of the movie to come.


The amazing Angela Grant creator of newsvideographer.com from david dunkley gyimah on Vimeo.

David Dunkley Gyimah (U.K.) has posted this video interview he filmed in Chicago with fellow Camp Video Journalism instructor and newsvideographer.com blogger, Angela Grant.

He quizzes her over dinner at 437 Rush about how she got into the profession and her thoughts on how it was developing. David didn’t use his Sony A1U for this bit but rather his pocket Canon IXUS 70 camera. So the lighting is highly saturated and the sound tinny in parts.
Still, it is a very illuminating talk.

If you are interested in learning more about video journalism, the next Camp Video Journalism workshop will be held in Orlando, Florida February 5-7.
Register now if you are interested in learning how to put together video stories.
