This month is a deep look into video creation – from idea to shooting – using what you have available.

Nick Federoff was just fantastic today and for the first time, I did a show with 2 people in the studio.

This talk is 2 hours and gives a big overview of what it takes to do it in a minimum fashion, and also how to step it up. I learned a lot from this session and I know it will help me in my future projects.

Maybe there is a video project inside of you and this masterclass can walk you over the seemingly scary motes between you and completion.

One thing I love about Nick is his MacGyver attitude against procrastination. Reminds me of the guy in the mirror.

This video is set to start at 4:30 after the short, mandatory tech issue and small talk (with some laughs and introductory comments). Feel free to zip around using the scrub bar.
