Attending Social Media Training on Video Production and Marketing

I attended social media training on video production and marketing hosted by

G Social Media at the Grove Park Inn on May 27, 2010.  Highlights are below.

(Presenters are noted by their Twitter handle with the @ sign.)

Highlights include:

• When making presentations, make sure the font is large enough to read in the audience. (@PSAVAsheville)
• Adding clips as an overlay to footage that is blurry or shaky can make your video more interesting. (@revpictures)
• Move and zoom your video camera very slowly to create better quality video. (@ashevillevideo)
• Create videos that follow your passion to move and inspire the viewer. (@BourneMedia)
• Videos for social media can be more casual and in the moment with less editing. (@BourneMedia)
• It would be nice to have one quality video you chose to represent your business, whether done by professional or yourself. (@BourneMedia)
• Which small video camera is the favorite to use.  (Flip Video for @GSocialMedia, Kodak Zi8 for @BourneMedia, Sanyo Xacti for @angelashelton).
• WNC Films is bringing films and film production to Asheville with a new twist: featuring Asheville as itself instead of a place that looks like some other place. (Judson Matthews)

Thank you to G Social Media and the presenters for sharing their collective experience on using video and social media.
