Creating compelling video is part art and part science (and, yes, a bit of luck). I’ve learned, mostly through trial and error — lots of errors! — that following these 9 tips will go a long way toward capturing great, usable video footage. Hopefully this will help spare you the pain of making the same mistakes I have.
This is by no means an exhaustive list, just a few tips and tricks I’ve picked up. And why 9 and not 10? Well, I’m hoping those of you who’ve done some video work can offer up a tenth tip.
Webcams let us travel across the world or across town, without having to leave the comfort of our desks. Sometimes it’s hard to imagine life before them…
In this edition of BizWiseTV, we take a look at the aforementioned elephant sanctuary in Tennessee and learn how the operation is run almost entirely by webcam. The sanctuary itself not accessible to the public so the only way the public can interact with these graceful giants is through webcams.
It’s still New Years Eve in California, though many around the world have already bid goodbye to 2009 and said hello to 2010. Before throwing confetti in the air, sipping champagne, popping 12 grapes into our mouths, or partaking in any number of traditions to ring in the new year, many of us make resolutions — be it losing weight, starting an exercise plan, eating healthier, or getting up and running on Twitter.
If your 2010 resolutions include business goals like growth, placing more orders, and increasing profitability, Cisco Capital is one resource to tap. To find answers to frequently asked questions about Cisco Capital, I interviewed Maryann Von Seggern who shared ways Capital can help customers obtain much-need equipment and help partners increase profitability.
When Cisco Gold partner Red River moved its headquarters to Claremont, a small rural mill town in New Hampshire, it immediately began exploring ways to give back to the community while also scouting talent for the growing company.
After finding out about Cisco’s IT Rocks program, which raises awareness among high school and college-age students in the US and Canada about careers in IT, Red River determined that it wanted to put on an IT Rocks event to let local students know that IT isn’t just for nerds with pocket protectors, but can be a cool and rewarding job.
“[River Valley Community College] approached us, saying, ‘we’re doing an event for area students, it would be valuable to provide industry perspective,’” said Red River Account Executive Gary Smith. “That’s when Jeff and I decided we were going to do the event together.”
CRN recently reported that Cisco will be adding Avnet as a specialty distributor focusing on the data center market in the US and Canada. The Channels blog caught up with Dave O’Callaghan — head of Distribution at Cisco — and asked him a couple of questions to provide some context around this announcement and how it fits into Cisco’s overall distribution strategy.
Cisco Channels blog: So first, why Avnet?
Dave O’Callaghan: Avnet is uniquely positioned in high-value distribution. They have a partner base that’s ready to go on our servers and virtualization architectures, they have an integration center that’s second-to-none, and they have unique capabilities in marketing around verticals and sub-segments.
