It’s our first morning meeting, and it’s going to be an eye opener.
Matt Cuthbert and Dennis Pillion of AL.com will show you how they shoot, upload and promote videos, and how you can, too. Ever wonder how you can use video to tell a story or promote a brand on your site? Learn how in our Nov. 17 workshop at Shift Workspace downtown.
Matt is the senior editorial producer and has been with AL.com for 11 years. He oversees the site’s entertainment and living sections, acts as a liaison with the state’s three largest newspapers, manages the community blogs and writes a couple of his own.
Dennis is a sports producer and has been with AL.com since 2007.
