Recording Lectures and Lecture Series

Recording Lectures and Lecture Series

Educational recordings can be an art. Video is a close-up medium and recording a teaching event requires good audio, active camera work, and a little planning. A lecture series involving multiple presenters, or spanning a significant amount of time, has additional requirements and planning details. 

Panel Discussions

Multiple speakers can present an exciting give and take on a subject but also presents complex audio needs.

Panel discussions and conferences with multiple speakers provide an opportunity to educate the audience in stimulating ways with supporting visuals and careful editing. The finished videos can be distributed on YouTube so viewers can quickly find the topics they are most interested in or watch the entire event.

With signature professionalism and expertise, Yale Teaching Studios provides outstanding service that truly exemplifies the Yale standard of excellence. It is always a pleasure to organize… video recordings of our events. I am confident when working with their team, the product, whether a YouTube video or video file, will be perfectly executed and delivered right on time, if not earlier.”

Recording in Labs or Other Locations

Some presentations benefit from location-specific settings.  To achieve a good recording, it takes extra time for proper lighting and clean audio but the results can be more memorable. Where do you teach best? We listen and work with you to bring out the best experience for you and the audience.

Lecture Recording in the Studio

The speaker may wish to use a teleprompter with prepared material. Visual media such as slides, graphics, or video can be included as part of the presentation. Here a professor is annotating a calculus lesson on a special tablet for use in a flipped classroom.

For certain material, recording with a green screen may be used to provide a more immersive teaching and viewing experience. PowerPoint slides and graphics are added in editing.
