Video Production Guides
Produced at University of Washington

When I worked at the University of Washington he wrote and produced a number of video programs about video production techniques, best practices and guidelines on a number of topics including working with talent, copyright and basic production.

These videos were written and produced by Timothy J. Lorang for UWTV Productions.
