Videography... this is a word that most people outside the film world have rarely heard of. So understanding its role on the net can be strange for the casual visitor to the digital world. If you’re feeling out of sorts, don’t feel too bad though. This new concept has actually only spawned within the last two decades. Before this time, the technology to dabble in this field simply did not exist. Film makers were still filming and digital video editing had begun, but there was simply no outlet for independent film makers to share their content. Then came the internet.
This interconnected web of programs and documents has not only been the catalyst but also the means for the rise of a unique subculture. Sites like Youtube, Veoh, and Vimeo have provided video editors across the globe with free and accessible outlets for sharing and gaining critique of their work. The increased availability of editing technology has also made the field far more accessible to the average person.
So where do you fit into all of this? I may preach about the accessibility of this field but knowing where to start can still be a challenge. The answer to that depends on you. Is this going to be a hobby or a career? Are you interested in making films or music videos? How much about digital editing do you already know? Finding a starting point can be a difficult task, but the hope of this blog is to provide a platform for diving into this strange new world.
