This is good material, very basic but good none the less. I must say though that it is a little outdated and it seems to have been cut short for some reason.

I viewed the on-line Video Production 101 course. I enjoyed the conversational style. Gary and Jim explained different camera features, benefits, and techniques in an easy to understand and sometimes humorous manner. This is a great course for the beginner to intermediate videographer. The course is divided into 4 sections with multiple 1-7 minute lecture videos in each section. There is a place to ask on-line questions, take notes, and download info throughout each lecture. You can stop and start and watch this course at your convenience and also go back and review. Excellent workshop! I would highly recommend!

This is a great course for a beginning videographer. It provides all the basics one needs to begin a carer in video photography. The basics are the stepping stone to being good at what you do in this profession.
