The DIY WebVideo Workshop:
Terri not only gave me simple step by step instructions and useful information tailored to my media production needs, but she also provided handy written instructions so that I could remember my learning experience and know how to use the programs after the workshop. Thanks Terri!
~ Stacey Vye, Educator & Video Workshop Alumnus
Let me say here: Terri Rocks! Especially when it comes to getting over that first, oh learning all this is going to be a hassle, technological hump. Especially if you’re uptight and easily flustered/impatient like I am, she’s like the Great Techie Buddha of Calm. I haven’t tried using as much as I learned yet, but when I go back to my projects and start other video projects, I am reminded how peaceful I feel that with enough clicking it will all make sense, and that is one of Terri’s great gifts–to remember to breathe and believe in yourself. And 50 bucks is so much cheaper than therapy! Highly recommended and fun, too! Thanks, Terri!

You’ll learn how to plan, storyboard, shoot, edit, distribute and promote a short movie, using your consumer video camera, the editing tools that come with your laptop, and the great and glorious internet! In this workshop, you’ll learn enough to get you started, and you’ll get enough resources to continue exploring and experimenting on your own.
