I spent the day at a terrific event today. In my work I spend a lot of time at my computer, however given the opportunity I am uber enthusiastic to get social, as in face to face with social. Today’s event was a partnership with Seekers Media, TELUS, and the Chinook Country Tourism Association. The workshop’s goal was “to empower you with tips and tricks to increase your social media following and offer solutions to grow your business through digital media”.

I came away feeling pretty inspired to try some new things with video. Prior to the workshop there were some recommended apps for downloading, one of which was iMovie for the iPhone. I have used iMovie on my Mac previously but hadn’t worked with it on my phone. It is my new favourite app! Here is a quick little video I made to experiment and sum up the day.
Lots of other good little nuggets came from the day:

Short form video means keeping it “snackable”. Short form is something under 2.5 minutes. #seekerssocial #southernalberta
