Video Coach III Update

Uncategorized
Written By Dave Davis

We have been getting quite a few inquiries about our third training disc, this one about shooting B-roll, those pictures and sounds that bring a story to life.

Some of the video has already been shot, and we are definitely moving forward with it.  But there are some questions we have about the third disc that we have not quite answered to our satisfaction.  The primary question is delivery.  

 

How many broadcast teachers actually show DVDs anymore?  In the classroom of 2016, so much of what we share with kids is online, digitized and ready to stream or download.  Hard media--the kind you can hold in your hands--has become SO prehistoric, man.  So old school.  So...you get it.

So we ask you to indulge us a little longer, and we will have news for you soon.  We are definitely flattered that so many teachers have used the Video Coach series to enhance their videography lessons.  We promise, the third and final video in this series will be just as helpful, and practical, as the first two.  So to use an old broadcast phrase, "Please stand by."

Dave Davis started a Broadcast Journalism class at Hillcrest High School in the fall of 1989. Since then, the school's student-produced show, "HTV Magazine," has become one of the nation's most-honored high school broadcasts.

In an effort to provide valuable, useful, hands-on instruction to broadcast teachers from across the nation, Davis founded ASB Workshop in the summer of 2000. Since then, the week-long workshop has provided training for hundreds of high school and middle school teachers from 47 states, plus Mexico, England, South Korea, and Japan.

In the spring of 2009 he was named the Springfield (MO) Public Schools Teacher of the Year. He lives in Springfield with wife Martha, and has two daughters who live and work in the area.
