About Seminar Snapshots
A Seminar Snapshot captures the key learning points of a seminar presentation at The Poynter Institute or at another training event. A snapshot features edited video highlights and other materials offered during a seminar presentation.
Improve the lighting in your videos and the techniques you use to achieve the best possible lighting. This Seminar Snapshot will teach you how to size up a scene and scenario to determine which lights and equipment to use. Learn how to avoid common mistakes, how to create good light without setting up a light and other tricks that will save you time.
This replay is from The Poynter Institute and the National Press Photographers Foundation's day-long event, Video Storytelling with the Pros, that was held on Oct. 15, 2011. It is one of four Seminar Snapshots available from the event. If you'd like to buy all four Seminar Snapshots, check out our Training Package.
