ASMP Motion/Video Committee
I was going through my morning RSS feeds and I came across this interesting article from Gail Mooney, who PCN recently covered. The article itself is a good read about why photographers need to shoot video told via Gail’s journey and focused through the lens of a psychic (you should read the article). The part that really got my attention was about how active the ASMP has been in the PhotoCine space:
I sit on the National Board of ASMP and we recognize this changing paradigm. In fact that is exactly how I came to be involved with the Board of ASMP. I was asked to run for the Board because of my video experience. It’s been a year since I’ve been on the board and in that time I have set up a motion/video committee with the intention of gathering and sharing information about video production. So far, through the efforts of the committee an online resource for video was developed and has been uploaded to the ASMP website.
I followed the link to check out what the ASMP is offering and it is definitely worth a look. Check out the “Getting Started” section that includes the following Q&A:
- Is there a steep learning curve?
- How did you learn motion/video or get started?
- How do you build a motion/video production team? What resources are available in finding a production team — organizations, unions, agencies, directories?
It’s nice to see them being so proactive in educating their member photographers and it is great that Gail has chosen to share her experiences with the photo community. You should also know that Gail is about to embark on a world journey with her daughter.
I’ve spent a career and a lifetime, telling stories with my camera. It’s what I do and who I am. I am now coming full circle to my beginnings, and am embarking on another world journey – but this time with my daughter Erin who is bound to discover her own path. We are setting out – around the world – to make a documentary that features people who are truly “making a difference”. Ordinary people who have followed their dreams, passions and ambitions and are doing extraordinary things. Our hope is that through our eyes and the film we create, we will open others’ eyes about what they can do to effect a positive change in our world. Our goal is to show the power of one – the power of the individual.
You can follow their journey at their “Opening Your Eyes” blog.
