Posted By :: Start the Conversation; Comments 0

It’s been about two months since my return home.  I’ve finally had the time to process my experience in a developing nation. But not just any developing nation… NIGERIA.  Though my first step off of the continent of North America, I know that it is the first of many in my life and it was truly a great beginning.

The Video Seminar Class in Lagos, Nigeria at C.H.O.P. October/November 2011

For those of you “just tuning in,” I had the pleasure of teaching the tools of video production and the fundamentals of production planning to 15 students in Ikeja, a part of Lagos, Nigeria.

At the two week seminar, the students learned:

Digital Photography / Video • Lighting • Pre-Production • Planning and Budgets • Documentary Filmmaking • Motion Graphics and Animation • 3D Animation Showcase • Digital Video Editorial • Layout and Graphic Design • Basic Marketing and Business Skills • Green Screen and Compositing • Photo Manipulation and Editing • Teamwork… and much more.
