COVIDeo Online Workshops

Posted by MetroEast Community Media on Tuesday, March 17, 2020

Are you stuck at home because of COVID-19? How are you staying emotionally and physically healthy? How has this impacted your life and the lives of those you love? Share your thoughts using your phone, tablet or computer to record and edit them. They say the best camera is the one that’s in your hand! Participants will be entered into a drawing for a prize! Media created will be used for our website, social media, and cable channels.

We’ll be holding a series of media workshops as part of our Remote Recorder Contest to engage and empower you in sharing your voice around the COVID-19 phenomenon!

COVIDeo Workshop Overview

For our first workshop in the Remote Recorder Contest, we’ll be teaching you to film with your phone! Participants will film a 30-60 second video around one of the following themes:

1. What are you doing to stay physically and emotionally healthy?
2. What has been the most challenging aspect of this experience?
3. What have you learned from this experience?
4. Do you have a message of hope for others?
5. Do you have an interesting story to share?
