Shooting Educational/Instructional Videos

Currently, I am involved in creating an educational corporate video. I’ve worked on a script, helped to develop the treatment and vision for the shoot, coordinated dates and talent with the client and helped with the talent while on location…corporate executives.

So here are some resources that can help you think about creating videos for educational uses. Even though the technology is gotten simpler and simpler to use, you still need someone with the knowledge and expertise of video shooting to make the difference, you need creativity and experience…we hired a pro who has done a number of on television documentaries to provide assistance (he’s also an alum of our program.)

Here are some resources:

• Shooting Good Video Tips
• Tips and Tricks For Working With Your “Talent” (Professional or Not) On Your Next Video Shoot
• The Digital Media Dude (great resource)
• Australia’s Funniest Home Videos (an unlikily but good source of information)
• A Veteran Videographer’s Advice on Shooting Video for the Web from Tom Werner’s blog where he took fantastic notes from vetern photographer Phil Pendry.

If you have any good sites or tips, please feel free to add.
