“๐๐ก๐จ๐ฐ, ๐๐จ๐ง’๐ญ ๐๐๐ฅ๐ฅ” ๐ข๐ฌ ๐ฆ๐จ๐ซ๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐๐ง ๐ ๐ฌ๐๐ฒ๐ข๐ง๐ , ๐ข๐ญ’๐ฌ ๐ฐ๐ก๐๐ญ ๐ฐ๐ ๐๐จ!
That phrase is at the heart of every great narrative, whether it’s a feature film or a 30-second social media clip. After the success of our previous Video Editing Session using CapCut with an incredible 70+ participants, the KUDU Academy team was eager to be back! We knew the next crucial lesson had to be about the foundation of all compelling content, Storytelling.
On October 7th, 2025, the KUDU team had the pleasure of hosting another engaging session. In collaboration with Kizuna, we welcomed over 40 teachers, school directors and community members into a room buzzing with energy and anticipation. It was a lively atmosphere, with the participants divided into teams, chatting, laughing, and ready to kickstart the new lesson.
The session opened with a warm welcome from the KUDU team, who introduced themselves and clearly laid out the objectives which aim to equip everyone with the knowledge to use storytelling effectively in developing short videos. More importantly, they would leave ready to use this knowledge to teach their students for the upcoming short video competition organized by Kizuna.
With the objective clearly stated, we hopped straight into the core lesson, explaining the fundamental concepts of narrative structure. If you think that the explanation was the end of the lesson, you would absolutely be wrong!
The most engaging part of the day was an activity that truly embodied the “show, don’t tell” philosophy. Each group was given a package of random photos. Their challenge was to construct a compelling storyline by arranging and interpreting those images based on a topic of their preference.
The creativity was out of this world! As representatives from each team came forward to present their ideas, the stories they shared were compelling, unique, and filled with their own distinct style. The whole room was alive with laughter, cheers, and thoughtful engagement. It was a powerful reminder that every one of us is a storyteller at heart.
To ensure the participants were fully prepared for the video competition, we also touched upon a brief overview of essential videography techniques before wrapping up the main session.
Reflecting on the day, it was clear that the enthusiasm for learning and creating was infectious. This workshop was more than just a lesson in plot points and camera angles, it was an investment in the power of their voices.
With that being said, KUDU Academy is all about empowering and making change through implementing training and sharing sessions. What we did today strongly signifies and validates our mission which will absolutely impact the quality of the videos these new storytellers are going to produce in the upcoming competition. We can’t wait to see the incredible, story-driven short videos their students create!
