Storytelling in the Moment
Boyd Huppert — (sponsored by KING-TV)
There’s a unique approach to “layer upon layer” and “gold coin” storytelling. When the concept is understood, it can be easily applied to every assignment. Vital to this technique is character development and making the most of natural moments. In Boyd’s session you will learn the skills to help you create stories efficiently and effectively.
Ethics smethics — dilemmas we all face
Tony Overman & panel
The delightful and engaging TonyO will moderate an ethics panel relevant to all discussion. Questions don’t ever stop surfacing from this murky multimedia pool, so prepare yourself by hearing the difficult mire other journalists have found themselves in. And please share your own situations too! Concerns about image and audio manipulation will be a primary focus of the session.
The Changing Role of Photojournalists
Anne Herbst (sponsored by KIRO-TV)
It’s the most controversial industry philosophy television news has tackled in the modern age – being able to tackle the role of a solo video journalist. Many of us don’t like it, but we have to face the fact we are being called on to do so much more. In this session you will gain insight from Anne on becoming a better multi-discipline photographer. How can you get everything accomplished on your own and still retain the quality you are accustomed to?
Teamwork is key
John Sharify and Doug Burgess
Working together can be a beautiful thing. Doug and John often collaborate for KING5 News to produce stories that would not have been accomplished without solid teamwork. They will speak about how their individual approaches to storytelling work together to make the most of their assignments.
The closer — Storytelling Toolkit
Darren Durlach (sponsored by KOMO-TV)
A shooter’s equipment is important to getting those key moments and Darren will break down how to get the most from what you have on hand. You will learn how Darren used multiple storytelling methods to achieve his back-to-back Photographer of the Year awards.
Shootout Judging
Panel will go through the 20 videos and award top three sponsor prizes. (more to come on this)
