Izzy Video 79 - Improve Your Online Video

izzyvideo79

A few months ago I ran a session at Podcamp AZ, and it was called “Improve Your Online Video.” It was an hour-long session, but for this installment of Izzy Video, I condensed it down to under six minutes.

Inside you’ll find suggestions for how to improve video, and three keys (which I learned from Tim Street) to creating a viral video.

You can get Izzy Video 79 here.

*This week I decided to release the free version in 640×480, which is the size normally reserved for the premium subscribers. The premium subscribers also receive access to all past Izzy Video tutorials, and two additional members-only episodes per month.

Pre-Discussion For My Session at Podcamp AZ This Saturday

Hi, everyone!

As you know, I’m conducting a session on Saturday regarding online video at the Podcamp AZ. Because this is an unconference, the audience plays a significant role in the session. That said, I’m thinking we should get some discussion going before the session. What questions do you have? What comments would you like to make?

In what direction do you want the session to go?

Leave comments here if you’d like. You can also email me at israelhyman (at) gmail (dot) com. You can twitter me at www.twitter.com/israelhyman or you can always call me at 480-980-1533. Yes, that’s really my mobile number. :-)

Register for my free session at Podcamp AZ on November 3rd

PodcampAZ Logo
I’m going to do a free session called “Improve Your Online Video” on November 3rd at Podcamp AZ. The Podcamp is free. My session is free. You can follow this link to register. If you can make it to Phoenix on November 3rd, please join us. I’m hoping to see as many of you there as possible.

Following is the description for my session:

Aesthetically, most web video is pretty horrible. Because folks don’t know how easy it is to create good video, they make major blunders. They shoot up their own nostrils; they distort their faces with incorrect lens settings; they ignore audio quality. Avoid these pitfalls! Beginner or pro? Come join the discussion.

Oh, and by the way, I believe Podcamp AZ is going to be streamed live over the internet using Ustream.tv, so if you can’t make it to Phoenix on November 3rd, you can still enjoy much of the event.

Finally, my friend, Justine Ezarik (yes, the iPhone “Bill in a Box Video” Justine), is having a Photoshop contest to help promote Podcamp AZ. Maybe you’d like to participate?
