Slides and Video: Content is Queen: How to Rule the Video Story World
This event is the first in a series of eight monthly meetups focusing on Video for Nonprofits. We will cover everything from strategy to hands-on editing workshops between now and March 2014. Please join us!
Allanah Mooney from Lionheart Productions provided an overview of content planning, development & management, with an emphasis on video.
Through practical examples from a multi-year video campaign, Allanah shared how to plan, create and gather visual & narrative assets, how to organize and store them, & how to repurpose content for multiple audiences, occasions & delivery methods. The audience learned the importance of curating good content, and the role of content in audience engagement & revenue growth.
This presentation will appeal to those looking for a longer-term strategy for their video and other storytelling assets.

Using Video to Tell Your Stories – Net Tuesday May 7 2013
Video is taking over the internet. Fast. Nonprofits need to get in front of this trend now. Video can be complicated and expensive, but it doesn’t have to be. This week three guests shared their tips for creating visually striking videos on a nonprofit budget.

1. Siobhan Aspinall started the event by sharing her three favorite nonprofit videos and explored WHY they were successful. It wasn’t because they spent the most money!
This is what’s possible when you invest!
Note: That Matt Damon video is NSFW!
2. Eli demos Mozilla’s Popcorn Maker, a free tool for remixing and annotating any Youtube or Vimeo video.

Storify: Tips for Growing Your Community #Commbuild Tweet Chat
Starting a community can be daunting, and growing it can be even harder. How do you build your group so that it isn’t just you talking to an empty room?
The commbuild community came together on May 7 to share tips for marketing a new community (be authentic!) and leveraging the power of your network (be promiscuous!) More importantly they questioned whether control is desirable or even possible.
Enjoy this summary of the tweet chat.

3 Event Reporting Tools for Non-Bloggers
NetSquared’s local organizers hold over 450 nonprofit technology events annually. The best way to participate is to attend in person but our organizers also create event reports so that they can share the lessons learned with a global audience. You can find many of those event summaries here on the NetSquared blog, but some organizers just don’t like blogging! I’m one of them. For those more visually-oriented organizers the NetSquared community and I have been experimenting with some non-blog ways to document NetSquared local events.
Here are a few tools and techniques that will help you easily create event reports:
Storify
NetSquared events create a huge amount of digital ephemera: tweets, slides, videos, links mentioned, photos… Storify.com offers an online tool that helps you collect your event’s online clutter and shape it into a coherent story using a drag and drop interface. Here’s an example from Vancouver’s January event with Cambridge organizer Mel Findlater.
Google+ Hangouts
Several NetSquared groups have been streaming their events using Google+ Hangouts and then automatically uploading the event to youtube. Amanda in Burlington has been doing this regularly as has Judy Hallman in North Carolina. For an example of a more complex, multi-city event streamed via Google+ Hangouts check out the four city NetSquared Downunder camp organized by our team in Australia and New Zealand.

Live screencast recordings
The newest and laziest form of event reporting I’ve recently discovered is to create a screencast from your event. This is a perfect solution for demos and other presentations that feature slides or a lot of on-screen activity. You use screencasting software (here’s 12 options from free to expensive – I used Screenflow) to record a video of all on-screen activity and record audio using the computer’s built-in microphone. Now you have a file with presentation audio and video that you can upload to youtube or video. It’s SUPER easy as long as you set-up your presenter’s computer ahead of time! Check out this example from Vancouver’s data visualization event.
