Sound Out Media

Podcasting and Beyond
An Introduction to Multimedia on the Internet
May 23 10 am - 4 pm
Hamilton Ontario

One of the easiest ways to get started in multimedia production is by doing a podcast. It’s a great way to get comfortable with the technology, develop interview and voicing skills and putting together a production from start to finish.

Podcasting and Beyond is a one day workshop to introduce you to the basics of podcast productions. We’ll focus mostly on audio, and also on how to create simple visual and sound productions such as slideshows with easy soundtracks. We’ll also talk about getting good sound for video .. because everybody knows what it’s like to look at pictures without hearing what the person on the screen is saying.

This hands-on, day long workshop will focus on:

* simple audio production techniques – recording and editing
* turning your idea into a story, interview or feature
* combining pictures with still photos (audio slideshows)
* getting good sound from your video camera
* getting your production out to the world via social media
