He offers recommendations on purchasing the appropriate hardware and software; the differences between various webcams, microphones, video converters, and editing tools; writing scripts for various initiatives (samples provided); video project suggestions; tips on interviewing techniques; information on lighting, camera angles, and film editing, and working with green screens; enhancing visual content by applying animation; and a wonderful compilation of commonsense best practices titled "Sean's List." This book is appropriate for anyone interested in learning how to provide 24/7 patron access via the usage of videos and webcasts.
