Live Event Production

Jim Powell, CEV

CERTIFIED VIDEO ENGINEER

NEW VIDEO PRODUCTION REPORT

    Presenting effective conversations.  It requires two people talking to each other.  When we talk to someone, we receive much of their response silently through visual communications by their movements and facial expressions.  In television by combining pictures of each person in the single video picture, the television viewer will not only see the person talking, but also the listener's response.  You see all the communication from the speaker to the visual response of their communication partner.  By seeing the full visual and sound communication, content is better understood and retention of the subject matter is greatly increased by the viewer.  In the television business, we call this window creation Picture-In-Picture or PiP.  Learn more at:  Case Study New Video clip
