Each month I highlight some of the videos posted to the Missouri State University YouTube channel. The goal of these monthly posts is to share the great production work being done by the staff and student videographers in the office of web and new media, as well as videos produced by other units on campus.
When my boss told me he wanted me to shoot some footage for a video we’d be putting on the website, I was kind of intimidated. I wasn’t sure how to make it look good. All I knew was some photography – point and shoot. The thought of using an unwieldy camera by myself for the first time was intimidating. Then he showed me the camera I’d be using and suddenly I realized this would be a lot easier than I’d thought.
Yesterday, a couple of web sites went live that had substantial updates: Missouri State University Foundation and International Center. Both sites have a custom stylesheet, a master calendar feed and a news feed (through a blog). They also both use the spotlights system and are maintained through Web Press.
