Travel Channel Academy – Santa Barbara

This morning, after a very pleasant flight on Virgin America (!), we arrived in Santa Barbara to start the Travel Channel Academy in Santa Barbara.

Forty new students began the experience of a lifetime.  The new Mrs. Rosenblum leads them through their paces.

We’ll keep track of their progress over the next four days, so stay tuned.

For more than 35 years, Michael Rosenblum has been on the cutting edge of the digital video journalism revolution. During this time, he has lead a drive for video literacy, and the complete rethinking of how television is made and controlled. His work has included: The complete transitioning of The BBC's national network (UK) to a VJ-driven model, starting in 2002. The complete conversion of The Voice of America, the United State's Government's broadcasting agency, (and the largest broadcaster in the world), from short wave radio to television broadcasting and webcasting using the VJ paradigm (1998-present). The construction of NYT Television, a New York Times Company, and the largest producer of non-fiction television in the US. Rosenblum was both the founder and President of NYT TV, (all based on this paradigm (1996-1998).

    I have been having fun learning a new editing program so different from the one I use. The lectures and feedback have helped me in the way I look at shooting my videos. The group of people that are in the class are very friendly and easy to talk to. My trainer “Michelle” is great at explaining how to use the Final Cut program.
