Summer Workshop 1

duckrabbit’s first multimedia storytelling Summer workshop finished late last Sunday.  It was a cracker. Hopefully I’ll be able to put up the stories in the next few weeks (when I come back off a well deserved holiday in France) but in the meantime here’ s a couple of pics by freelance journalist Emiel Elgersma who came from Holland for the training.

Emiel isn’t a professional photographer but I was really impressed by his work. His team focused their story on an old blues guitarist, Chick Young, who incredibly has been on the road for fifty years, which might explain why he has had five wives.

The workshop was centred around Birmingham’s fabulous International Jazz festival.  duckrabbit would like to thank festival Director Jim Simpson for helping us out.

  • The duckrabbit workshop taught me to push myself and my subjects. To learn from my mistakes and to really look for the interesting people and stories. This workshop came at an important time for me. Thanks. Scott Gray

  • I’m so pleased that the other guy got a last minute call to Chad and that I could jump in in his place. I can’t think why I waited so long to get properly ‘duckrabbited’! The whole process of making photofilms and the end result makes photography and storytelling completely come alive for me. Those three days felt like the best spent three days in years – it was a total pleasure to be absorbed in learning how to make my own photofilms effectively – to understand how to communicate a story in a way that is powerful and compelling.
