Multimedia Storytelling @ MediaStorm
Thursday, September 2, 2010, from 3-5 pm, at Palais des Congres
The digital age is giving photojournalists extraordinary new ways to report and distribute stories. We have a greater level of authorship and an unprecedented opportunity to reach a global audience. How can the long-form, in-depth visual storyteller satisfy both their journalistic and financial needs in this environment?

Join Brian Storm, Founder and Executive Producer of MediaStorm, to see how some of the top photojournalists have redefined their storytelling capabilities to include audio and video reporting and an eye toward publication in multiple media.

Multimedia Projects by MediaStorm
Friday, September 3, 2010, from 10-2pm, at Caserne Gallieni
Multiple projects will be screened. Walter Astrada’s project about violence against women in India will be shown for the first time at 11am and Walter will be there to answer questions. This project was made possible by The Alexia Foundation.

Safe travels to all attending the festival this year.

From July 17-23, 2010, a team of three participants, along with MediaStorm Producer Jennifer Redfearn, researched, reported, and produced Exodus during our seventh MediaStorm Multimedia Workshop.

The MediaStorm Multimedia Workshops in New York City are intensive, hands-on educational experiences in advanced multimedia storytelling.

Over the course of a week, participants work in three-person teams, reporting and editing in collaboration with a seasoned multimedia professional to produce a multimedia project for distribution across multiple platforms.

We will be holding one more MediaStorm Multimedia Workshop in 2010:

MediaStorm welcomes Drew Jordan and AJ Maclean

By Jessica Stuart | Published: August 11, 2010

MediaStorm welcomes interns Drew Jordan and AJ Maclean to our team. They will both be working with us this fall on some exciting multimedia and interactive design projects.

Drew Jordan is currently finishing his graduate project to fulfill a Master’s degree in multimedia at Syracuse University’s S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications.

Since completing his B.A. in Photography at Webster University, St. Louis, in 2005, he has worked across a wide spectrum of media environments. From producing design/multimedia projects for non-profit organizations around the country to working as a contributing photographer for several publications in New Zealand and Australia, his wunderlust has provided for a very rewarding freelance past. It also led to a stint as a goat herding cowboy in Australia.

With interests in editorial, photojournalistic, and design practices he does not aim to specialize in one but rather meld disciplines to enjoy several ways of storytelling as a whole. Some of his recent clients include Amnesty International, MTV Africa, and Randomhouse.

AJ Maclean is a producer, photographer and current Master’s candidate from Syracuse University in Photography and Multimedia. His particular interest is stories that deal with the fundamental connections and interactions we all have or seek to have with each other.

He is recently coming off of a fellowship with News21, a Carnegie and Knight Foundations educational journalism initiative. As one of 11 national fellows he produced multimedia related to an in-depth investigative project regarding transportation safety in the US.

Previously he has been published in USA Today, ESPN online and Maxim Magazine among several other publications. His experience comes from being a newspaper staff photographer outside of Washington D.C. and in southern Wisconsin where he also received his bachelor’s degree in Contemporary Information Technology from the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
