Nonprofit organizations often enlist staff and volunteers to create videos to enliven their storytelling via websites and social media–there’s just not a more emotionally powerful way to drive fundraising and advocacy campaigns. But can “non-media” folks really create quality videos? Yes!
This week, I have camera in hand to talk to Shana Sureck, an award-winning photojournalist for The Hartford Courant. (You can now find her creating video documentaries and photographing events for area nonprofits.)
Shana shares her tips on how one can shoot video like a pro, starting with the basics for setting up a shot, audio, and equipment.
Watch for Part 2 from Shana in the coming weeks: She’ll share pearls of wisdom on shooting photos and photo editing.

Thanks Shana. I’m going out to get headphones. We have had an awful time recording interviews with doctors only to get back to the office and hear a terrible hum in the background. Thanks to Carol for posting as well.
