Event Media

Five Minutes of Fame is a trademarked event allowing NMC academic members to show off their latest new media projects.

For this Five Minutes of Fame demonstration at the 2011 NMC Summer Conference in Madison, Wisconsin, selected NMC member organizations were given five minutes each to highlight innovations of all sorts, from multimedia and web-based projects, to course modules and newly invented or adapted tools, to student portfolios and collaborations with off-campus groups. In each fast-paced session, the audience saw numerous examples of the exciting work their NMC colleagues are doing.

Five Minutes of Fame is a trademarked event allowing NMC academic members to show off their latest new media projects.

For this Five Minutes of Fame demonstration at the 2010 NMC Summer Conference  in Anaheim, California, selected NMC member organizations were given five minutes each to highlight innovations of all sorts, from multimedia and web-based projects, to course modules and newly invented or adapted tools, to student portfolios and collaborations with off-campus groups. In each fast-paced session, the audience saw numerous examples of the exciting work their NMC colleagues are doing.

As part of the tradition, the last activity of the 2010 NMC Summer Conference was the invitation by the host of next year's event. Alan Wolf, representing the University of Wisconsin-Madison, set the cycle in motion with the video below as a preview for the 2011 NMC Summer Conference.

We look forward to seeing you next year in Madison.

As a followup to last year, at the 2010 NMC Summer Conference, we offered an immersive pre-conference workshop in digital photography. Led by Sports Illustrated staff photographer Bill Frakes and Don Henderson (Apple, INc), 20 participants learned valuable photography and storytelling techniques while exploring the wonderful world of Disneyland. For this special workshop, Disney has granted unprecedented access to the park and provided production assistants who will guide the group through the park, including a prime rooftop vantage point for the nighttime fireworks.

The following day, the workshop continued with a hands-on editing session in Aperture 3.0.

This video shows the best photos as selected by participants, and you can see more of their photos shared in flickr.

As part of the array of social media tools used at the 2009 NMC Summer Conference, we asked conference attendees who had any sort of personal video recording device (Flip, cell phone, hand held) to share clips of the conference activity. We provided a drop.io site to collect the videos, which were edited into the short feature below.

Included is footage of the Point Lobois Photo workshop, the Web 2.0 Digital Storytelling Pre-Conference workshop, scenes around Monterey, and impromptu comments from attendees.
