Description
Using a mix of demonstration and lecture, this session will introduce participants to the key concepts you need to know in order to properly operate a camera for the purposes of capturing video. This workshop will provide information that you can use in the operation of almost any modern video camera or video-capable still camera/device. 
Highly recommended for anyone who is starting out in video, or who struggles with the results of their footage. This is a good primer for those who want to get serious about video, but will also be helpful for hobbyists.
