This year's Platypus Workshop was supported by Canon USA, Sony, TIME, CNN, the National Press Photographers Association and the University of Oklahoma. Many people contributed their energies to to this workshop and we are very thankful.

The Platypus Workshop taught the skills of video storytelling to still shooters. Like the NPPA TV-News Video Workshop, our students produced a one-minute video exercise with no audio. View these RealVideo Clips from our shooters.
