A: I’m giving you a pdf file with four (4) instructional videos, supporting instructional materials including tips & tricks on how to make videos that don’t suck, recordings of a previous live class, and five (5) worksheets, as well as access to a super secret online community via Facebook. You can post questions, ideas, concepts, or videos to the online forum any time for feedback. I will monitor the group on Wednesdays, answering your questions and providing feedback. Your fellow Video Stars are also encouraged (and praised) for giving feedback.
Q: How technical is this eClass?
A: Because this eClass requires technology, on the community forum, we will talk about it and troubleshoot issues. However, given the fact that participants will be on Mac and Windows platforms (I’m a Mac gal myself) and people will have different tools and software at their disposal, this class isn’t a “how to” technical class. However, it explains the basic principles of video editing and gives overviews of the tools to help you be successful. The online resource guide provides links to online tutorials for popular software tools and other video resources to help supplement our content. Basically, if you have a question, ask. If I don’t know, I’ll help you find the resources to figure it out.
Q: Where can I find more of your hi-larious and/or touching and/or informative videos?
A: Check out the bulk of them at my Vimeo page.
Q: Will you be offering a live, instructional class again?
A: The simple answer is no. I will not. Although I am thinking about
Q: Can’t you just make my video for me?
A: Oh you rascal! As a matter of fact, I have a video editor that can do just that. For my business clients, I will help them conceptualize and storyboard ideas, but generally I don’t do one-off videos. Contact me for details…
