------------------------------------------------
Creativity and inspiration are at the core of artistic talent. Creative Crossroads explores the roots of these traits through the eyes of a canoe builder, an 85-year-old portrait artist and a legally blind musician and finds out that they have more in common than one might think.
------------------------------------------------

This 2-week HDV workshop runs twice a year and is designed for photojournalists who are looking to make the move to videojournalism and the web, new documentary filmmakers who want to launch their careers in web and television documentaries and for those with experience in some aspects of filmmaking that are looking to expand their skill, understanding and mastery of the whole process. Producers, cinematographers, editors and writers with narrative experience who are considering working in non-fiction filmmaking are also encouraged to enroll.

Students learn all aspects of the process including the importance of the still image, HDV camera, compact lighting methods, field sound, field editing and how to weave the story. To view an extended version of the course description, visit our website at barefootworkshops.org.
