Tony Vincent, Learning in Hand, LWF Talk, London 2011

Mobile movie making for learners.

Presented by educator and learning consultant, Tony Vincent, Learning in Hand.

Ever since he was a young boy, Tony Vincent has made short movies. At first it was with his dad's VHS camcorder. Later it was with a digital camera and basic editing software, and his students were the stars. Then he began shooting with a green screen and editing with iMovie. Now Tony can film, edit, and publish his movies all on an iPod touch.

Tony presents a demonstration and examples of how to create excellent educational videos by using a variety of iOS apps to film, edit, enhance, and publish videos. Tony's movie making tips and techniques are relevant to anyone who makes videos, no matter the software or how large the computer they use to edit and publish.
