Session Description
The cost of creating video for the Web has plummeted, but it is still one of the most expensive elements of many Web site or Web 2.0 initiatives. Publishers want results—and it’s up to you to get them. In today’s world, your video needs to be in several places simultaneously, with great hooks bringing users back to your Web site.
Session Description
In this session you’ll learn how to become a hyper-syndicator, publishing your video to devices including cell phones, laptops, and televisions. Video publishing may start with an embed code, but so much more is possible—and this session will show you how to take advantage of the best opportunities available.

Developing Content
Video based content should add to the broadcast by delivering information that cannot be relayed in an audio only format.
Relevant Visuals
Content must be kept brief, engaging and to the point.
If content is not intended to be viewed on a portable device, larger frame sizes can be used.
Develop for Portability
Shooting, graphics, and editing must be designed appropriately for intended purpose: superior audio for small speakers, content designed for smaller window with lower frame rates.
Develop for Portability
Existing content must be evaluated for web delivery.
Can also be used as B-roll for newly developed content.
Existing content can be re-edited into an episodic format for Podcast delivery.
