Program Focus

Get your hands dirty.
Sticking with the method that we know best, this workshop will focus on getting the work done with a hands-on approach. After an introductory keynote from Travis Warren, the President of WhippleHill, you will select to join a small instruction group to learn by doing.

Groups are focused on one of the following topics (we’ll ask you to indicate your preference when you register for the event):

1) Skype interview production and editing.
2) Use your smart phone to make great videos.
3) Go live with online video streaming.
4) Re-purpose old film.
5) Edit with iMovie to make a master film.

We Packed the Real Gear.
We’re fully loaded and bringing it all to share. Cameras, lighting, laptops, mics, apps, accessories and more will be there for you to experience. Be sure to bring your own, however, so we can accelerate what you’re working with!

This workshop will teach you what equipment and software you need and how to use it. Go home with a shopping list to get you on your feet tomorrow! No more guessing, no more trial and error, no more time or money wasted.
