We are all part of a new digital ecosystem. An ever-evolving way to share our stories. As visual story creators, quite often our still images are making the transition into stories with motion. How do we add the elements of motion film making to our tool belts? What is the three-minute story? What tools do we need to craft our vision into a short film? How can we share our stories with a world wide audience?
These questions and many more are answered as we explore this compelling new digital ecosystem. In this exciting mentorship we take the time to understand the creative process of visual storytelling concepts, story structure, visual sequence and timing in film making. Within the framework of the creative process we consider the necessary equipment to bring our creative concepts to life. Using iPhones to mirrorless cameras to software tools, we learn to allow the equipment and technical elements to stand as a foundation for our creative vision. As we make the leap of faith to explore new directions with our creative concepts, we become part of the new digital ecosystem of story telling.
