For the last four years, Jarrod Whaley has taught video production to students of all ages and in a variety of settings including, but not limited to: classroom workshops in public schools, Summer camps, and after-school programs. The basic premise of the workshop is to provide students with hands-on experience in the production of a short film. Students collaborate to write a story, and then act it out before the camera. Each student is part writer, part actor, and part director. In special situations where sufficient time has been set aside to more thoroughly explore the production process, students may also draw storyboards to flesh out their visual ideas and/or build props, sets, and costumes.

These workshops are completely scalable to the needs of the program or classroom in which they are taught--the amount of classroom time required to teach the workshop can be as little as three hours, or as much as thirty-five or forty, depending upon the situation. In addition, sessions may be scheduled in one block of time, or divided up over any number of days.
