Workshop: Video Shorts for Social Media

Video shorts are now the most effective way to gain new viewers across all social media platforms.

In this workshop, you’ll get feedback and customized advice on your video shorts. Or, if you are new to video shorts, we can review your artwork and provide recommendations for how to move forward.

We’ll address how to find ideas and develop them into video shorts. Technical aspects including editing techniques, shooting footage, voice overs, will be explained as well.

“Overall, I had a great experience using Discord. I didn’t have to take notes! All the knowledge and conversations are saved. The people in the workshop were very open and assistive to bring up topics I wouldn’t dream of thinking of.”

Selecting Your Shorts

• Bring 1 short that you would like the critique to focus on.

During the workshop

• Each student speaks on voice with Prof Lieu and Mia, speaking about their shorts.
• While Prof Lieu, Mia, and a student are on voice, other students in the workshop make suggestions and interact with each other in the workshop channel.
• If there is time, we will do a Q&A where anyone can ask questions on voice.

• Students have access to the Premium Workshop channels for one week after the workshop date. Ask follow up questions, share resources, and more.
