FREE WORKSHOP: Smartphone Videos Made Simple

Do you want to learn how to create great looking videos with just your smartphone and a few inexpensive accessories? In this workshop, Ian G. McIntosh will go through the nuts and bolts of creating videos that you can use on social media, your website, and other online platforms.

In this workshop, you’ll learn various important aspects of how to get started on your smartphone videos:

• Planning the overview of the project. Is it just a simple Facebook Live, are you thinking about creating a multi-scene video with lots of edits or something in between?
• Writing a script. Make sure you have a plan for what you will say online. Remember shorter is often better
• Planning your shots
• Required Equipment
• Lighting
• Audio
• Hitting “Record”
• Editing and Rendering
• Posting Your Videos

You will be encouraged to use your newly gained knowledge right away to go on Facebook Live and record your own videos (that no one even needs to see).

They streamed their first class on March 16, 2020, now offering live-streamed and scheduled recordings of classes to their students, as well as on-demand classes to their VIP members. In the next month they will be expanding their fully-fledged online yoga studio through their website that will also utilize social media.

Most recently, Ian was brought in to provide the tech for the City of Toronto’s Bloom Cam 24/7 YouTube live-stream. He is honoured to be part of the team that is bringing the beauty of High Park’s cherry blossoms to the citizens of Toronto and people around the world.
