Use What You Have and (Still) Produce Great Video!

Everybody wants to get their video on the web, non-profits, small in-house company operations, mom and pop retailers, or artists.

This seminar will emphasize resourcefulness  trhough two principal themes: First your camera does not see or hear things the way do, second you’re smarter than your camera so you make the decisions as to focus, white balance, audio level etc. yourself.  Mr. Schwartz will start  by talking about the fundamental difference between your camera’s features and your eyes. Then he’ll guide you through  the differences between what your ears hear and what the camera records. Along the way we’ll discuss a number of simple, non-budget-busting techniques you can use to overcome your equipment’s limitations while improving your capabilities to tell your story in the most compelling way.
