Guardian Media Academy – London

We’re here at The Guardian Media Academy in the heart of London (in the heart of the HQ of The Guardian newspaper).

Yesterday, our participants (about 20 in all), and from all over Europe – Spain, England, Italy, Finland… and even a few Americans, got the 5-shot religion and went out to shoot their stories.

Today, having learnt (note the Britishisms) FCPX, are busy editing away.

We’ll be screening in a few hours.

Most of our participants are professional print journalists, learning to make the conversion to creating video as well as print.
This is a skill that more and more media companies are demanding, and we are happy to provide the service.
And, working with The Guardian, we can also guarantee that we are meeting the highest journalistic standards in the world.

We’ll be here at Kings Cross through Friday, so if you are in the neighborhood, come by for a chat or a cup of tea (like I said).

And we’ll be back in July.

In case you missed this one.
