Together with the experts from the School of Fine Arts, Saarbrücken (HBKsaar) we will cover in this workshop common techniques for video production.

We will combine the technical aspects, such as illumination, sound, cut and post-production based on the complete production of an interview.

Explainer videos are short online videos that can be used to explain course content, new concepts, services, laboratory experiments and much more. Usually they take the form of short, simple animations or drawings and are distributed on the web via YouTube and similar platforms.
This workshop offers an in-depth introduction to the use and production of this thriving teaching tool.
