SMC of SLC Presentation on Power Video Communication

October 30, 2009 | by Sheri Bell-Rehwoldt

Thanks to Drew Tyler (@Knite20), owner of BetaLoft Coworking (@BetaLoft) for this video of the SMC of SLC (@smcslc) October meeting at BetaLoft on 10/29.

Drew gathered a fantastic panel of professional video folks and experienced embedders to educate attendees. And learn we did, as evidenced by a tweet by SMCSLC member Josh “Shua” Peters (@JoshSPeters): “I learned more about video at tonights #SMCSLC than I have in my entire life of being online. HUGE thanks to @Knite20 & @BetaLoft!”

Woa, dude! That’s a HUGE compliment!

If you missed the event, fret not. Here’s the ENTIRE 40-minute discussion for you to dive into!

Using video with Social Media?

Here are some do’s and do NOT’s from a panel of experts.

Key takeaways:

Video CAN be done on the cheap. To do it right, make sure you have LTAA:
1.) a Light source (Google “3 point lighting”)
2.) a Tripod
3.) quality Audio. Use a real mic, not the on-board mic
4.) know your Audience

    Thanks Drew, Ryan, Chad, & Randall–loved the advice and the format of the panel. I’ll have a lot more to think about next time I’m shooting some video and am confident I can get a better result thanks to your help.
