Get Started With Video Workshop on April 17th

Published March 18, 2009

If you want to learn the fundamentals of video, now is your chance to spend a day with me live. In connection with PubFilms, I'm holding a one-day workshop on April 17th, 2009 in Gilbert, AZ (suburb of Phoenix).

It's a packed day, starting at 8:30am and ending at 4:30pm. These are some of the broad topics I'll be covering:


  • Operating a Video Camera

  • Lighting for Video

  • Audio for Video

  • Shooting Video Indoors

  • Shooting Video Outdoors

  • Posting Video on the Web

I want to keep the group small, so I have time to answer questions. I'm limiting the workshop to 20 people. You can see more details and register here for the event.

Moviestorm: Good for Storyboarding?

Published August 20, 2008

My son, Blake, made this video with Moviestorm, a new application (free) for both Mac and PC platforms that allows you to make a virtual movie. Blake created the story, customized the characters, recorded the dialog, rendered it, and uploaded it to YouTube. I haven't really tried using the software yet, but my guess is that it must be pretty easy to use.

I was pleasantly surprised by his mini short film. And after watching it, I couldn't help wondering, "Could Moviestorm be used for storyboarding?"

What do you think?
