Video Production - How to Create Budgets and Price Your Work
Pricing your work when you produce video is a tricky business; charge too much and the clients will run away screaming; charge too little and you may as well be creating content for free or worse still making a loss. So how do you work out a fair price for your videos?
For many people the very idea of creating a budget is scary. I have worked with some amazing videographers over the years whose work I have greatly admired but too often they have been so focused on the creative aspect of the j
A Question for Filmmakers: How Long Should My Video Be?
If I had £10 for every time I'd been asked the question "how long should my video be?" I would be retired now and living on my yacht. It's a perennial question for filmmakers and in these days of short attention spans and a multiplicity of video it's an absolutely crucial one to get right.
At the BBC when we trained our first video journalists one of the things we noticed was how difficult it sometimes was for them to be objective about how long their stories should be; Ian (name changed to p
Choosing Video Editing Software and Why We Like Final Cut Pro
Today I am teaching students to edit at the Guardian Media Academy in London. We run the academy in partnership with the Guardian newspaper and it's always very satisying when you see how quickly people learn editing skills; by the end of their very first day they will have created a short video including narration which is quite an achievement especially if you consider yourself a techno-phobe.
Helping us with the training this week is Mark Egan (he's the one who's not blonde or wearing glasse
Video Storytelling 101: How to Find a Story
On my first day as a newspaper reporter in England in the 1980s I was told by my editor to "just go out and find a story". I was working in a team of three journalists who had been given the job of setting up a new edition of the paper and to do that we had to find lots of compelling local stories. In those days not only was there no internet but there were also no computers (at least not in the Kirky-in-Ashfield office of the Evening Post) so to find a story you had the telephone, the phone bo
Filmmaking: Introducing Myself
Usually you'll find me behind the scenes here at NYVS planning the next wave
of tutorials for the site and screening the latest cuts of the videos we're
about to release but as one of the founders of NYVS.com I believe
passionately that our instructors have a great deal more to share with our
members from their own personal experiences of working in the business.
As a 20 year veteran of the BBC, I've spent most of my working life as a
journalist and programme maker in the UK and have seen firs
