Storyboarding for Video – The Video Script

This week's tip is the next in our series on creating storyboards and the first of two tips on storyboarding for video - one on scripting and one on visual storyboarding. This week we're talking about scripting.

What exactly is a video script? 

Simply put, a video script is a written document that describes the writer's idea for the video- what they want to SEE and HEAR on the screen.

Transferring Video and Photos from your iPhone to your PC

If your company is anything like mine, you were issued a Windows laptop and an iPhone when you started... An iPhone that can take high resolution photos and high quality HD video making it the perfect tool for taking on-the-go photos and videos to add to your elearning.
But how do you get the photos and videos from your phone to your PC? You could email it to yourself, but the downside of taking such high res photos and HD video is the file size.
It can take forever to email something to yourself and what if you took 30 pictures? That could take at least a couple hours. There's a much faster solution! All you need is your computer, your iPhone and your iPhone charging cable.

2012 Wrap Up

At the start of this year, I had high hopes for a 2012 full of innovation and creation. At the end of this year, I’m looking back with a bit of a sigh. Innovation and creation are slow coming, but we haven’t stopped trying.

The Benefit of Good On-Screen Talent

I just wrapped production on a video about selling skills. We didn't have a lot of time for production and I was nervous that we wouldn't get everything done in time… but we did. You know why? Not because my script was incredible or because I’m a brilliant director [even though it totally was and I completely am! :)]. It was because the talent we had on set was amazing. I've worked with all sorts of actors before- good, bad, amazing and terrible. Nothing is better than being on set with a good actor who is interested in the project, prepared and ready to go.
