Webinar on Basic Shooting Techniques: Join Us!
This is an announcement for a joint event we’re producing with YouTube. We’re reprinting the original post from YouTube’s blog as posted by Mia Quagliarello, YouTube’s Community Manager.
YouTube’s Creator’s Corner and Videomaker magazine are excited to bring you the first in a series of Webinars that explore the basics of video production and will help you take your videos to the next level. Videomaker offers intensive weekend courses here in Northern California, and they’ve generously offered to share their knowledge with the global YouTube community for free, as well as take your questions.
The first seminar will focus on “Basic Shooting Techniques” and it’s scheduled for October 27, 2009, at 2 p.m. PT / 5 p.m. ET. Click here to register.
Because we want these sessions to be really useful for you, we want you to help us set the agenda. Below is a list of topics the class could cover. Vote in the poll in the top right corner of this blog to tell us which topic(s) you most want to know about. You can also submit and vote on specific questions here. We’ll use the results of the poll and the most popular questions as a guide when structuring the Webinar. Again, here are the topics you can vote for:
- Shopping for a camcorder: Learn what to look for before buying one
- Button basics: Master the most important buttons on the camcorder and how each of them works
- Light and filter it right: Creative tips on lights and filters that will improve the look of your videos
- Microphone techniques: Get the best sound from your mic with the least amount of hassle
- The art of composition: Simple composition rules to set your video apart from ordinary videos
- Smooth moves: Handheld camera techniques
Finally, if you’ve got a strong preference for days of the week or times when you’d most likely be able to tune in to a Webinar, please let us know in the comments below, and we’ll take that into consideration when planning future events.
Thanks!

This is really exciting! I took a videography workshop back in July. It was 4 days from 8 am until 4 pm and there was so much information thrown at me that I didn’t really get an in-depth overview of any one thing. So, I’m excited that this is so focused and that we get to vote. Now, what to vote for?
