Web Video Workshop: Story-telling secrets that pull in traffic
presented by Kevin Campbell, President of Kevin Campbell Films

Note: I sought out Kevin, a pro video producer & popular teacher, just to give our group quality training in a topic many of us have a real need for.

This is another meetup followed by and in-depth hands-on workshop; both are at Blake St. Tavern, 2301 Blake St at 6 pm & 5:30 pm respectively.

August 11 - Web Video $5

Aug 17 (this meetup) - Web Video Workshop: Story-telling secrets that pull in traffic $39 in advance, $49 at the door

Kevin is also giving our group a discount - $100 off on a 1-minute promotional video (at my request).

No matter what your skill level, you can learn the basic story-telling techniques to bring in visitors and keep them on your site. Why are we focusing on storytelling? Because this is where most videos fall horribly short ... and it's what gives a great video impact.

• How to grab a viewer’s attention in 3 seconds
• How to touch their hearts
• How to keep it short and make it work
• Interviews: how to pick sound bites that tell your story
• Coverage: what images tell your story better than words
• When to use text to help your story
• No video? How to find and use stills and other non-video material
• Call to action: at the end, what do you want the viewer to do?
• Always leave them wanting more

Anita did it again. A Winner! I wish I was ready to put what I learned into practice today. I have my notes and soon the video, so as soon as I done with my current project I will put what I learned into practice.
