So you want to be a TRAVEL JOURNALIST?
Glad to hear it! The world is a big place and we at the Travel Channel can only cover so much of it ourselves. In order to capture great travel stories all around the globe, we'd need an army. That's where you come in ... Introducing Travel Channel Academy - the only travel-focused digital film workshop on the planet. Give us 4 days of your time and we'll give you the digital filmmaking toolkit to launch a new career or hobby. It's more than a film production school. It's an adventure! Packed yet?
Top 6 Reasons to Sign Up Now for the Travel Channel Academy Film Workshop
- 1) Valuable filmmaking skills
-
Everywhere you turn, people are talking about "user generated video", "vlogs", and "Web 2.0", but as a quick visit to YouTube will attest, most people don't really know how to make good user generated content. Now, and in the not too distant future, those who know how to communicate through the medium of video will most certainly have a leg up on the rest, as more and more paying customers (including us) identify a need for short quality content. When (not if), you get the call to submit a video resume, are tasked with adding video to your business' website, or just want to make a great vacation video, will you be ready?
- 2) Access to industry execs
-
Throughout your journey into travel journalism, there will be a team of experts ready and willing to guide you through the process. During the Academy, you will be learning from and working with industry experts with decades of experience in the art and science of shooting, editing, storytelling and business (which comes in handy if you are looking to try to make a career of this). After the Academy, your long-term relationship starts with Travel Channel. The content you submit to us after our film school workshop will be evaluated and critiqued by Travel Channel producers. Additionally, you will have direct contact with Travel Channel staff for ongoing questions, comments and support.
- 3) Unleash your creative energy
-
Many people find Travel Channel Academy in a desperate attempt to break free from the confines of the corporate cubicle world. Others find us while searching for a new hobby or because they want to learn to translate their passion for digital photography into digital video skills. If this sounds familiar, you are not alone. Take comfort in the fact that the Academy has already served as a creative outlet and launch pad for legions of lawyers, accountants, IT programmers, professional photographers, small business owners, flight attendants, couples who love to travel, empty nesters and new college graduates. We will do everything in our power to provide you with the tools and education that could help you make a career change to a more creative endeavor or to kickoff your new digital filmmaking hobby on the right foot.
- 4) Exposure on Travel Channel platforms
-
Travel Channel Media is a multi-platform business (i.e. on-air, online, mobile, video on demand, etc.) and our content needs are infinite. As an Academy film school graduate, we will evaluate and potentially purchase your content for use on one or more of our many platforms. Not only might you get to pursue your dream of travel journalism and film editing and production, but you might also be able to call Mom and Grandma and tell them that hundreds, even thousands or millions of people have viewed your work on one of Travel Channel's many platforms.
- 5) Get paid for your travel videos
-
Make no mistake - we want content. And we are willing to pay you for it. As an Academy graduate, you are encouraged to use your newfound skills to go create content and submit your films to us for review, feedback and potential purchase. If we like what we see, we'll buy it from you. If not, we'll give you the guidance you need to improve your skills so that your odds (and ours) increase for the next time. Several Academy graduates have already made back their initial investment in the film course and then some.
- 6) Join a global community
-
Since May 2007, several hundred travel passionate folks just like you have graduated from Travel Channel Academy. They are from all parts of the country and the world, the young and young-at-heart, entrepreneurs and corporate moguls. The one thing they have in common is the shared passion for travel and filmmaking. When you become an Academy graduate, you enter into a community of like-minded individuals who can help support and guide you in your shared quest to become travel journalists with the knowledge of film editing, production, and more.
