  5. ~Meetings~ • Meetings may require several sessions to hammer out concept or design issues. • The entire operation will involve • education and compromise.

  6. ~Initial Steps~ • Be sure to involve a writer for the site verbiage. • Put together a story board for the video production.

  7. ~RULES~ • The client should know something about the media. • Don’t use streaming media just • because you can. It must add • dimension to the site.

  8. ~RULES~ • Stick to simple HTML page presentations with text links. • Primary and secondary pages that do not exceed 65k to 75k in size.

  9. ~Secondary Pages~

  10. ~Establishing Size~ • Bandwidth: • -target audience and complexity of the presentation determines the size of the videos. 180x160 320x240

  11. ~Media Players~ • As a guide, KYSS. • Keep Your Site Simple • Include a link to download the appropriate video players. • www.real.com

  12. ~Production Checklist~ ~Production equipment notes: • Good quality digital video camera • Good directional microphone • Extra batteries, long audio cable

  13. ~Remember~ • The production is greater than the sum of the two parts. • The best video will be degraded in encoding. Be sure to shoot the best quality video possible.

  14. Any effort on part of the audience to view or hear the production detracts from the quality of the production • Cultivate partnerships in order to share equipment or knowledge.

  15. ~Production~ • On site pre-production meeting with all involved. • Go over the storyboard, establish who will shoot, handle audio etc. • Establish protocols and stick with them.

  16. ~MaintainingControl~ • Establish and maintain control over the talent, crew, spectators and environment. • As you become more experienced, try other types of equipment and techniques.

  17. Shoot with a good, solid video tripod! The video you shoot will look and stream better. • Rent equipment if possible, or purchase used from a rental company.

  18. ~Editing~ • Premiere, Avid, Final Cut Pro, Media 100, Vegas or iMovie. • Watch the transitions! • If possible, use a straight cut. If not, use a short dissolve.

  19. ~Encoding~ • Use Cleaner or Procoder • Try default settings first • Experiment with frame rate, contrast, audio quality and levels.
