Moving Memories with Jeff and Greg is a series of videography and editing production classes hosted by Jeff Smith and Greg Winters.  Both Jeff and Greg have extensive backgrounds in the television and film industry.  With their knowledge of cameras, lighting, audio, and editing, they will teach you tips on how to improve your home video production skills.  Each course will include video instructions and printable tips.

Videography 102.5 - Shoot To Edit, Like a Pro - is a supplemental class to our V102 class - Shoot to Edit.  This class will take you into the mind of a professional as we shoot an actual event and explain what we look for when capturing footage to be edited together later.  Jeff Smith and Greg Winters were invited to capture Jessica Sprague's daughter's actual birthday party with family and friends.  Go into the thought process of a live event capture to see why Jeff decided to shoot the shots, angles, and locations he did in the moment.  Greg and Jeff offer commentary of what was happening at the time of the event as well as why the shots captured are helpful in capturing the event for use as an edited final project.  This class will allow you to go beyond the original lesson of V102 shoot to edit by showing you tips and thoughts you should be thinking about when you capture your next event.  All of the lessons from V102 are used in this supplemental lesson.  So enjoy learning how to shoot to edit like a professional.
This class and all previous videography classes are intended to prepare you to be a better videographer in order to be prepared to edit together great memories in the future.  You may think you know how to shoot already but these lessons truly fine tune your abilities and allow you to be more in the moment and make proper shooting techniques second nature to you.  Good luck and Happy Video Making!

Moving Memories will build your skills through beginner, intermediate, and advanced level courses.  The topics will include videography, audio, lighting, and editing.  There will also be courses where Jeff and Greg explain how they as professionals produce video projects.  Plus, throughout the class series there will be assignments for you to practice what you are learning and to begin your journey toward becoming a better videographer and editing your own projects and home videos into professional looking movies that your friends and family will love to watch.

This self-paced class will be available on November 12, 2012.
