Welcome to my blog.

I'm Robert, a Film and TV graduate with a passion for educating through media. In my route to starting this blog I have worked for a few different organizations, but always have had Media production and Education at the core of my work. I decided to start the blog because as time went on I have moved closer and closer to a happy medium between the two spheres.

I have always been fascinated with how a video tutorial seems to engage on a very different level than a technical manual, or a written description. They can be teaching the exact same set of skills, but bite sized videos are received very differently than chapters and sub-headings. This opinion isn't held by everyone, but there is a growing number of people who want technical videos instead of technical manuals, cooking shows instead of cook books and so on.

My goal with this blog is to talk about my passion for making tutorials, while explaining a little about my processes in making them. I will use examples from the videos that I make, and will post them here so that you can understand the reasoning behind my choices. It is also a place for potential clients to see my work, and understand my processes when making a video.

There are many software programs out there, with more being produced all the time. A large part of my tutorial work is turning the technical manuals for these programs into easy to understand video form. However video, unlike text, has some aspects that can affect the quality of learning greatly. Often sound quality and meandering dialogue, or even poor visuals can get in the way of the potential learner. A good video tutorial is just like a good technical manual in its need for thoughtful construction.

If you have any comments or suggestions please get in touch through the comments here or on my youtubechannel. I'm always open to different view points and constructive criticism. And if you want a professionally made tutorial, e-mail me here.
