viral videos workshop
Workshops , Italy, Milano, 19 February 2010
Viral Video Revolution is presented by world-renowned
commercial, viral and music video director Alex Orlowski, is open to media
professionals and students, agency creatives, anyone in fact who’s interested
in learning how to produce and shoot a viral, whatever their current audio
visual skills level.

Overblown budgets and crews are a thing of the past. Guerilla filmmaking with whatever is on hand is more likely to speak to an audience that’s wise to advertising and pr tactics.
Advertiser and agency interest in viral video in the
United States is growing quickly, with 70% of ad-agency and media-buying
executives planning to increase budgets for viral video marketing in 2010. And
yet agencies in the East Europe aren’t capitalizing on the low-cost organic
growth and brand awareness that virals offer.

develop the succeful and engaging structure that will not bore the audience and will call to an action for example go on another website or spread the viral it self , how to develop a strategy to make your viral helpful to sell a product or to create brand awrness. and of course how to Shoot, Light,and Edit, as well as basic notion of Post-Production (color correction for web) plus how to produce Stop Motion contents easly which will also be covered in the workshop .
