You are invited to take part this new year in discovering ways to tell your story through video. It invites in the self-reflection and personal storytelling aspect of You are Your Own Muse but through the medium of video.
Montage ~ Soulful Gathering is both an invitation to discover your creative self through telling the art of taking video as well as a gathering of creative cohorts, as there is so much beauty in taking creative adventures in supportive community setting!
The course is designed for experiential discoveries, meaning that it is not about memorizing information about how to take video, but by learning through doing.
Each day Monday through Friday of the session, you will receive a gentle course post in your inbox inviting you to take out your video cameras and gather video clips inspired by your day. Each week explores a theme, so you are not pressured to shoot entirely new content each day but rather to settle into the journey of the week and learn about capturing moving pictures.
This isn’t a ‘movie making’ class but is about discovering video as a creative tool to tell our stories. The daily prompts are also designed to not tell you what to take video of, but rather to discover your own interpretation of the idea…inspired by your life, your geography, your story!
One of reasons the Montage class keeps selling out is that Vivienne is deeply commited to helping you open the door to a medium that you may not have tried before. It is easy to get stuck if a technical question arises, but Vivienne is available through the duration of the class to help you get to know how to use
