2007 Digital Asia: Documentary Digital Video Workshop

Saturday, March 10, 2007
Urbana, Illinois


Presented by Center for East Asian and Pacific Studies (EAPS), Asian Educational Media Service (AEMS), and Applied Technologies for Learning in the Arts & Sciences (ATLAS) at The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign

 

The Digital Asia Workshop was piloted March 10, 2007, with a one-day workshop at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Advertised only to U of I faculty and graduate students on a first-come, first-served basis, we nonetheless attracted twice as many people as we could accommodate. Topics covered included framing a multimedia project, work in the field, local resources, developing a project plan, funding, equipment and post-production, though our treatment was, of necessity, not in-depth. Based on interest and feedback in this workshop, we planned a greatly expanded Digital Asia program for 2008.

Digital Asia: Making Your Own Documentary

MARCH 10, 2007, 10 am till 3 pm
Foreign Language Building, Rm G-17
Pre-registration required by March 1
FREE • Lunch provided

Presented by Center for East Asian and Pacific Studies (EAPS),
Asian Educational Media Service (AEMS) / Media Production Group (MPG),
and Applied Technologies for Learning in the Arts & Sciences (ATLAS)

 

Do you have an idea for a documentary film but have no idea where to begin? This workshop will help get you started.

Filmmaking veterans David Plath and Jacquetta Hill of MPG will be joined by media experts Paul Riismandel and Colleen Cook of ATLAS to give an overview of the filmmaking process, from framing your project, through funding and planning, to filming in the field, and finally, post-production. Discussion of equipment choices, as well as on- and off-campus resources will be included.

This workshop is intended for faculty and graduate students who do research in Asia. No experience or training in media design or techniques is assumed. Perhaps you have a long-running research project with years of accumulated data and video footage, or perhaps you are preparing to embark on your first field research trip. What matters is your desire to communicate your research about Asia through today's user-friendly audio-visual media.

We would like to hear about what you have in mind before the workshop. When you register, we will send you a questionnaire to fill out about your project (however realized or imaginary it may be). Please return this questionnaire by March 2.
To register, contact Tanya Lee with:

  • your name
  • department
  • title/position
  • email address
  • telephone number and
  • campus address

or call 217-265-0642.
