2020 Annual WASLA Conference

Video production for landscape architects

Description:

With the ever-changing digital landscape, the ways people absorb information have been dramatically changing. Video has become the dominant communication format, and a good video is extremely efficient and influential. Landscape architecture in many ways is about marketing and branding. Videos now are used in presentations, competitions, e-letters, and public. Harley Pan, a professional videographer with LA background, will demonstrate the keys for making a great video. The goal of the session is to empower participants with new knowledge about videography, and show that the brains between a landscape architect and a filmmaker are not that different.
