Description

If you're looking to create a video podcast, this class is designed to help you jump start your path to success!

Dan has a background teaching artists in the feature film industry on video production techniques before creating his own award-winning podcast. You'll learn the key things you need to know to avoid burnout, save time, and get set up the right way.

In this class you'll learn

  • How to form habits that'll help you avoid burning out once you get started

  • Industry standard settings you can use on your existing equipment

  • Proven lighting and composition strategies for high quality video

  • Practical steps you can take to transition from concepts to action

An equipment agnostic approach

We all record podcasts in different rooms, so "the best" for me might not be the best for you. So instead of talking about "the best" camera or microphone, we'll learn universal industry standards that can be applied to whatever equipment you have.

Each video comes with homework

This class is designed to be actionable, so you'll get homework at the end of each video for a step-by-step process to bringing your video podcast to fruition.

Final class assignment

Podcasting is a long-term journey, but we all start somewhere. At the end of this class, you're encouraged to share your very first video podcast episode.

Who this course is for:

  • First time podcasters wanting to create their own video podcast
  • Digital marketers wanting to level up their YouTube videos
  • Hobby podcasters looking to add video to their existing audio-only podcast
