Today’s learners demand rich multimedia, and it’s becoming easier to deliver it to them. The challenge facing trainers is to have the skills to produce and edit video and to do so on a training budget, not a Hollywood budget.

This session will review stylistic tips and tricks used by the most popular YouTubers, online instructors, and social video participants for creating authentic, engaging, ultra-low-budget productions designed to match the media being consumed by learners on a daily basis in their YouTubing, Redditing, Pinteresting, and Facebooking.
