BlogIN – Video blogging with Zack Legend
Zack Legend is a prominent video blogger here in Indianapolis. Zack found that he wasn’t a good writer, but that video was really his niche. Currently, his biggest claim to fame is the video blogger for the Indianapolis Colts. His biggest secret? He shoots video with his point-and-shoot Canon camera.
In his session (which I understand ran straight through the second breakout), he showed us how he goes through the process of editing video.
Highlights:
- 2-3 minutes is the right length. How short can you make a video?
- Point and shoot cameras are less intimidating than a video camera.
- Microsoft Movie Maker is the easiest way to do this in the Windows world.
My biggest takeaway from this session is that video blogging in the "YouTube generation" doesn’t need to be a highly produced affair. It’s not the Super Bowl. Let’s just get the video out there. Don’t worry about how professional it is.
