The Guardian has partnered with RosenblumTV to deliver a wide variety of video training courses for both amateurs and professionals.
Since 1988, RosenblumTV has been on the cutting edge of the Digital Video Revolution and is the unquestioned leader in digital video training worldwide.
For more than 22 years, RosenblumTV’s staff have taken the lead in applying new video and online digital technologies to a wide range of applications, but always with one motive in mind: to make video production better, faster, simpler and less expensive.
For many years producing video and television was the exclusive domain of broadcasters and those who worked for them. Not any longer. Now anyone can learn to use simple and inexpensive equipment to create perfect quality video – with the right training. And that’s what RosenblumTV does better than anyone else.
In partnering with The Guardian, RosenblumTV had brought this training, which was once available to only a select few, to everyone.
Over the past 20 years RosenblumTV has created a simple method that gets people up to ‘broadcast quality’ in only a few days. And the emphasis isn’t just on the ‘button pushing’ but rather on how to produce compelling video stories. No matter how well shot something is, if it’s not a great story, no one will watch it.
RosenblumTV had now trained more than 20,000 people to work in this way. But the company is not just about training. The company also produces hundreds of hours of video programmes every year. You won’t be learning from ‘theorists’ but people with more hands on experience than anyone in the world.
RosenblumTV’s founder, Michael Rosenblum invented the concept of the Video Journalist – that is, the reporter who carries their own small camera and reports on their own. The company also designed and built the world’s first VJ-driven TV news stations across Europe and the first global network of VJs. Michael Rosenblum founded New York Time Television and took the first newspaper in the world into video in1996 and later went on to convert the BBC’s entire national news operation to the VJ model, training and fielding more than 750 video equipped journalists.
In 2005 RosenblumTV designed and co-founded the world’s first TV network and website based entirely on User Generated Content, Current TV and later created and founded the world’s first professional video training academy married to a TV Network (Travel Channel Academy 2006-2010).
Most recently the company has built and launched the world’s first comprehensive all video online digital training site nyvs.com.
