Hi all, Just wanted to let you know we have a couple of spaces left for this weekend's (January 18th-19th) Digital Video Production for social researchers/anthropologists in London - for more info see below and here. We have also had a number of requests from academics asking if we can organise training for your department/staff/students - we are happy to travel, so please do contact us with any queries and we can discuss. There is obviously a lot of interest in visual research methods which is great to see! More about Spectacle and the course: Spectacle, an award winning independent television production company specialising in documentary, community-led investigative journalism and participatory media, offer affordable weekend training in Digital Video Production for Anthropologists and Social Researchers in London. Feedback from former participants: “This is the type of course every anthropologist should take” - Dr. Mattia Fumanti, Department of Social Anthropology, University of St. Andrews “Simple, uncomplicated approach to something people are interested in but perhaps scared of trying out.” - Julie Botticello, Research Associate, UCL This is an intensive, hands-on, weekend training course with emphasis on developing your practical filming skills, participatory techniques, and do-it-yourself confidence that will enhance the quality and validity of filmed fieldwork material. The short, condensed and effective course will give all participants a solid foundation of practical knowledge and a working understanding of digital cameras, sound recording, and filming on location.
