The SMTY Digital Video Workshop is not currently open for enrollment.

Learn how to setup, shoot, and edit overhead fast-paced videos with our workshops.

I’ve had some experience doing video on my own, but taking this class has left me both inspired and equipped with the tools to take my videos to the next level! I highly recommend this workshop!

It’s basically the most useful event I’ve attended, EVER!

This was the best investment I’ve made for my blog in years! I had a great time, learned more than I imagined and left feeling really excited to get started at home!

Seriously, even after doing video for over a year, I learned so much and I am really excited about how much better my videos should be now.

It was fantastic and worth every penny, I learned more than I have at any other workshop or blogger conference.

The workshop was pretty amazing. I really appreciate the attention to detail, patience and knowledge shared.

The workshop is amazing, worth every penny.

Absolutely LOVED the workshop and I can’t wait to get started.

I seriously feel like I learned more in the past 48 hours than I have total at eight conferences this year.

If you’ve wanted to make food videos or want to take your food videos to the next level, this workshop experience is worth every penny.

Wow, I can’t believe all that I learned in just 48 hours.

As someone who does a lot of research I can be skeptical when it comes to courses and workshops since a lot of things can be learned online for free.  This workshop (and our membership to The Blog Village) has been worth every penny!

The Show Me the Yummy Food Video Workshop is an intensive workshop (available hands-on AND digitally) that teaches you everything you need to know to start creating high quality “Tasty” style videos.

We take all of the fear and unknown out of creating videos and make it approachable and accessible for anyone.

Whether you’re just starting out with video or you want to take your videos to the next level, you’ll find everything you’re looking for through a combination of demonstration, hands-on filming and interactive Q&A.

At the end of the workshop, you will have setup, shot, edited and outputted your very own professional quality video.

The Business of Food Videos

How to market your newly acquired skill, what to charge and how to incorporate brands into your videos.

Food

You gotta eat right?!? Your breakfast, snacks and lunch will be provided both days of the workshop!

Brands Want Them

Learning to create videos is one of the best investments you can make to increase your value to brands. Because of video, we’re able to charge over 50% more for each sponsored opportunity and 70% of brands take us up on it.

Videos alone, can command $1000 or more ADDITIONAL income on a sponsored post. Our goal is that with one or two sponsored videos, you will more than pay for the cost of the workshop.

Competitive Advantage

There are very few bloggers doing video, and even fewer doing them really well. Get ahead of everyone else and stand out to your readers and brands by producing the best videos out there.

Grow Social Following

Every social network is putting a priority on video, which means more exposure, more followers and more engagement. Video alone has helped us to rapidly grow our social following.

Increase Engagement

“Audiences are almost 10 times more likely to engage, share, and comment on video content than blog or related social posts” – Content Marketing Institute

Camera Setup

We ensure you know how to set your camera up to get the best quality video possible.

Shooting Setup

Getting everything set up and ready to shoot. Working with tripods of all kinds, arm extensions, external monitors, etc. We show you all of the possibilities and you decide what the best setup for you is.

Lighting

One of the most important elements of shooting video is the lighting. We walk through how to light both naturally as well as with artificial light.

Filming

Here we look at: how to organize your shoot, action techniques, transitions, shooting for the edit, multi-angle shooting, our tips and tricks and getting creative.

Editing

Where the magic happens. Editing is probably the most important part of the entire filming process. We will go from rough cut to refining your edits, manipulating the speed of footage, creating smooth transitions, adding text, masking and more.

In the hands-on workshop, you will learn editing using Adobe Premiere. It’s our recommended software and it’s cross-platform so we can all be looking at the same thing 🙂 If that’s not what you plan to edit with, don’t worry, everything you learn will easily translate to Final Cut Pro and the digital workshop covers Final Cut Pro in entirety.

Editing is like driving a car. Once you know how to do it, it doesn’t matter what kind of car you’re in (Adobe Premiere/Final Cut Pro) you just need to take a moment to find the lights, turn signal, cruise control and you can drive anything. PLUS the majority of keyboard shortcuts are the same across both!

Our hands-on workshops are based in Madison, Wisconsin (airport code MSN – Dane County Regional Airport). Often called the Austin, TX of the Midwest, Madison is a bustling city full of energy, creative entrepreneurs and most importantly, great restaurants. 😉

Flying in? Madison is an extremely easy airport to fly in and out of. We recommend arriving the night before and departing the final day or day after. We send out hotel recommendations once you sign up.

We are also doing at least one destination workshop in 2017 in Salt Lake City, UT.
