#SoCon10 The Video
I just finished editing a video project for my first client in 2010. I figure the rest of the year will be down hill now. LOL.
So the backstory goes: I’ve attended Kennesaw State’s social media unconference (SoCon) since the first year in 2007. Each year, I voluntarily produced a video for MyUrbanReport. In 2007 and 2008 I produced a video package. In 2009 I produced a live stream. Why do I volunteer my talents?
One of SoCon’s co-founders Leonard Witt is one of my social media mentors. When I first moved to Atlanta and worked at Black Family Channel. I found Len’s name while researching citizen journalism. That started me down the path of blogging, and soon after that video blogging. The rest is history.
Witt was one of my first web video interviewees back in 2006.
This year I was compensated for producing the SoCon video. I wanted to produce something that was professional and captured the excitement of the event.
I smiled when I got this email from Witt earlier today:
I just got to see your SoCon10 video. My reaction: Amani ….IS …Fantastic ….And Creative. We love it. It is really great. Thanks.
Thank you.
