Backstage in the film studio

This project has a special story that involves a trio of McGillians: Chris Buddle, associate provost; Francois Miller, executive director Office of Sustainability, and Frank Roop, producer, McGill TeleStudio. We all met separately on past projects. When the new McGill TeleStudio (pic here to right) was unveiled and the opportunity to do a teaching series to help McGill professors be more effective on camera, I jumped at the chance.

Lights, Camera, (in)Action

Unfortunately that's what happens too often when we replace a class or conference audience with a professional camera and bright lights. It's not that you don't know how to present effectively, it's just that you are unsure how to do it without an audience.  

This video series is designed to fix that.  I co-produced it with McGill TeleStudio with support from the McGill Office of Sustainability, both former clients. The intended audience is university professors working in the professionl studio at McGill, but anyone wanting to get better being on camera will find benefit here.  

The series is entirley video-based. I've made some short remarks to keep you pointed in the right direction, but really any direction will do.  Watch one, watch them all, you'll learn some of the things I teach in programs with researchers all over the world, and you can do it at your own pace, according to your interest in your own time.  

Normally this is a paid program, but because McGill covered the production costs, I'm sharing it here as a special thank you to all the people who have supported my work so far and to some new ones who may be experiencing my work for the first time.  

We grow strongest when we grow together.
