In this workshop attendees will watch and participate in a demonstration of the creation of a live action video, from planning and scripting, to shooting and editing footage.  The demonstration will focus on best practice and simple strategies for capturing well-lit footage with clear audio either using the library studios or their own equipment (e.g. cell phone) Time will also be dedicated to on-camera presentation skills.
