[videoblogging] seminar filming?
Hello, have any of you filmed seminars and made webinars out of them? A client approached me with this idea and asked if there's any way I could help him out. I told him that I have only one camcorder and I assume for such filming I would need at least two to get different angles. Is that true or would one camcorder be enough? I would assume that there would have to be a lot of requests to stop and change the angles during filming with just one. Plus to get all the details,like hands, moods of the crowd, would be very difficult as well. Any input on that? I know that there are videographers who specialize in filming seminars and making webinars for corporate clients, but I don't know the specifics of this type of job. Thanks. Loreta

Loreta I've never filmed one, but I've watched plenty. And I have no problems what so ever watching a single angle one or even two hour shot of the speaker if they are engaging enough. I find that different camera angles don't add any value if the main angle is a good one. But I do know that professional filming of such things like to wank it up with shots of the crowd nodding or whatever. It's different if the seminar involves audience interaction though. Dave.
