Photography Curriculum
Video storytelling requires many skills and can take years to learn. Many of our teachings artists have benefitted from formal education from such places as Minneapolis Community & Technical College, Metropolitan State University, the Minneapolis College of Art And Design and The Arts Institute. Others however have benefitted from self-taught and community-based learning environments. For those of you interested in dedicating time to the art of video creation we highly recommend that you start with the links below. Once you have become comfortable, you may then want to consider joining lynda.com for more in-depth technical instruction.
