This electronic guidebook is a detailed how-to for scientists, science educators, and students who wish to make their own science videos. The book combines text, video tutorials, and other interactive content to show how to plan, shoot, edit, and publish a professional and effective science video. Learn how to use video to demonstrate a new scientific technique or management procedure, create supplemental online material for journal articles, develop job interview/promotion materials, meet the “broader impacts” criterion in a grant proposal, produce online lessons or courses, or explain recent discoveries. Videography skills will become increasingly important for the scientist of the future to keep pace with the rapid changes in communication technology and electronic publishing. As public demand for science information increases and as competition for science jobs, research funding, and space in journals becomes more intense, those scientists with skills in videography and other multimedia will be at a distinct advantage. If you or your students are interested in expanding your communication toolbox to include video, then this book will help you accomplish your goal—and avoid common pitfalls. By following the instructions and embedded tutorials, anyone can quickly acquire the necessary knowledge and skills to create effective and professional science videos. It is written especially for those scientists, educators, and students who want to use video in their teaching or research but cannot afford or don’t have access to a media specialist. For example, readers are shown, step-by-step how to shoot, edit, and publish a science video entirely with a smartphone. Please note that this ebook is designed to be read on an iPad (with iOS 5.1 or later and iBooks 3 or later). You can also read it on a Mac (running OS X 10.9 or later) after downloading the iBooks reader (version 1.0 or later). Future editions will be available for other reading platforms.
