Vimeo Video School

I recently discovered that the place I store and share my videos is also a place to learn how to make videos better.

Vimeo Video School offers a growing array of sharp, clever bite-sized tutorials, illustrated with clear examples, created by the Vimeo filmmaking community.

Here’s one example:  Shooting Basics, from the Video 101 section:

Filmmakers, and their teachers, can browse through video lessons in the following categories:

• Behind The Scenes
• Do-It-Yourself
• DSLR
• Editing
• Gear
• Lighting
• Shooting
• Software
• Sound

Don’t miss the excellent Featured lessons which include: 180 Degree Rule Explained!, 3-Point Lighting, Glossary of Common Video Terms, and Framing and Composition.

Share with your teachers and your young filmmakers and embed these instructional tools on your production guides and pathfinders.  And also consider the fabulous film-making advice from Marco Torres’ talented crew at FlickSchool!
