Gail has 30 years of experience in still photography, shooting for international magazines, major corporations and advertising agencies. Gail started shooting 35mm motion footage for stock in 1996, and in 1999 started producing and shooting video projects. Since then, her company has become fully integrated with multimedia. She has also produced two short documentaries: <em>The Delta Blues Musicians</em> and <em>Through the Hearts and Hands of Children</em> about the New Jersey Youth Symphony. She is currently working on a multimedia documentary about two diverse high school groups retracing the Civil Rights Freedom Ride of the 1960's. Gail sees many opportunities for still shooters to expand into video and multimedia, and she feels that this is just the beginning of how technology will transform how we, as visual communicators, will deliver our message in the future.</div> <div class="eventheaderdate"> </div> <span class="text"> <p> </p> <p><a href="http://www.lernerphoto.com/">.</a></p> <div class="infoblock"> <div class="infoblocktitle">When:</div> <div class="info">Tuesday, April 14, 2009<br /> 8:30 a.m. Social <br /> 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Program</div> <div class="info"> </div> </div> <div class="infoblock"> <div class="infoblocktitle">Fees:</div> <div class="info"> <ul class="eventpricelist"> <li>$50.00—ASMP Member</li> <li>$85.00—Non-member</li> <li>$75.00—Professional Association member *</li> <li>$0.00—Special price for students and faculty of the academic institution donating meeting space for this seminar *</li> <li>$35.00—Student *</li> </ul> </div> <div class="info"> </div> <div class="info"><span class="text"> <h3><b>Event Location:</b></h3> <p class="text"><strong>Seattle, WA</strong><br /> Seattle Central Community College, 5th Floor, 1701 Broadway</p> <p class="text"> </p> <p class="text">ASMP information link:</p> <p class="text"><a href="http://www.asmp.org/commerce/education/event_details.php?id=38"><span style="color: rgb(255, 204, 102);">http://www.asmp.org/commerce/education/event_details.php?id=38</span></a></p> </span></div> </div> </span> <h2>SPONSORED BY ADBASE  <a href="http://www.adbase.com"><span style="color: rgb(255, 204, 102);">http://www.adbase.com</span></a></h2> <hr /> <h2> </h2> <h2>ASMP-DC Presents</h2> <h1><br /> <span class="eventheader">The Art & Commerce of Multimedia</span></h1> <h2>with Paula Lerner</h2> <p><img width="300" height="225" src="/users/PaulaLerner2584/Image//PaulLerner.jpg" alt="" /></p> <p> </p> <div class="eventheaderdate"> <div class="eventheaderdate">Tuesday, April 14, 2009</div> <div class="eventheaderdate"> </div> <div class="eventheaderdate"><span class="text">Adding sound to still images to create multimedia features can make for powerful storytelling.
