Shawn is presenting an all-day workshop at Streaming Media West on Monday, November 18, 2013 in Huntington Beach, California. The workshop is entitled "Shoot, Switch, Stream: Live-Switched Webcast Production." He describes it as follows:
Webcasting is the fastest-growing niche market in video production and this workshop is targeted at video producers who want to learn how to webcast for their existing event, corporate, conference, worship, and wedding clients, and at those who are already producing webcasts who want to take their services to the next level and learn strategies to expand their client base into new markets. This seminar will discuss what equipment you need in order to produce a professional webcast (and what equipment to avoid), how to solve common webcast problems, how to choose a webcast service provider, and how to set up and produce your webcast. We'll conclude the day by producing a live-switched multi-camera webcast of a panel discussion, with attendees in key production roles.
Here is a behind-the-scenes video from Streaming Media East 2013, where Shawn describes his production workflow for capturing all of the conference sessions and streaming the several sessions, including the keynotes:
