2. In 2011, a small group of Atlanta’s broadcast, video,
and social media professionals decided
to create an event to help the community
understand how to leverage video on the Web.
We’re calling it Video Camp Atlanta (#vidcampATL), and it’s a first-of-its-kind event.
If you’re a novice looking to learn some basic production techniques, or if you’re a production
professional, we believe you’ll walk away with a greater understanding of how you can
leverage video in your personal and professional online activities.
We want you to feel free to engage in conversations,
share what you know, and ask questions.
There are hands-on demonstrations, discussion
groups, and presentations, but we have a single
purpose in creating this gathering:
It is our goal that every attendee
will walk away equipped with
the knowledge and know-how
to start producing Web videos.
Use the included video production guide to help you map out your plan, and use the next
several hours to develop your production strategy. Then it’s “lights, camera, action!”
Please take a moment to learn about the presenters and our sponsors.
Feel free to reach out to them for more information.
Thanks to the Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI) for allowing us to host this event
at your wonderful facilities, and thanks to our sponsors: Red Bull, Atlanta Daybook, the
Atlanta Association of Black Journalists (AABJ), Georgia Entertainment Association (GEA),
FutureMoguls, The Omen Agency, MyCulture.TV, VL-Hosting.com, Element K Creative, Sixth
Realm Digital, Sonny Hancock, Kimberly Murray and Rod Finch. We’d like to extend a
special thanks to our presenters and volunteers. This wouldn’t be possible without your
time and support.
Sincerely,
The Video Camp Atlanta Planning Committee
