Smartphone videographer and trainer at Raiveon.com.
Just watched a video made by the L&D dept of a local authority I trained a few years ago. Now, I'm not saying it was my wonderful workshop (I am, I am), but their videos for internal use really very good and on par with professional content produced by expensive PR companies. Very happy for them.
When we were all over at the other place, I banged out the occasional missive about our Parrot Pro Teleprompters. Excuse this, I need the links for our SEO (ahem). Raiveon is now Padcaster's direct partner in the UK & we've driven the price down. Now only £114 + VAT. raiveon.com/product/parr...

I've just had a call about our video training at Raiveon. I asked the normal question of where did they hear about us and they said ChatGPT. A.I. for once, appears to have given us work!

This is an excellent analysis, which deserves to be shared. But the headline in the Telegraph, the actual bloody headline says everything. Look sunshine, if you’ve paid millions in taxes, that means you’ve made many more millions. Congratulations and all that, enjoy it and belt up moaning.
Emma Monk@monkemma.bsky.social · 12mo agoWow - this guy must be really, REALLY bad with money if an extra £208 per month will “ruin” his retirement. Let’s take a look at his situation based on what he told the @Telegraph Because this does NOT add up! No, this is not a “poor pensioner” scrabbling around for pennies… 🧵1/9

Can’t be bothered to look, but has anyone started the “who’s” party yet? Followed by a link to Abbot and Costello.
I once sat opposite Dudley Sutton on the District Line. I smiled. He didn't smile back.

If you make videos and are looking for them to be more accessible, then go no further than this excellent webinar 👇 And then get in contact with @jaynedavids.bsky.social to find out more.
Jayne Davids @Raiveon@jaynedavids.bsky.social · 2y agoIt was with great pleasure I joined @techsmith.com to share insights into Captions Accessibility Best practices recently. If you missed it, there's a recording 😊 Includes a live demo of adding captions in #Camtasia my video editor of choice. www.techsmith.com/learn/webina...
Yesterday @jaynedavids.bsky.social delivered a top notch overview of caption accessibility in videos best practices. A must watch if you're making workplace L&D videos, internal comms, marketing, or just generally creating videos. Watch the recording here: www.techsmith.com/learn/webina...

I'm a videographer but don't use Premier Pro, Di Vinci etc. I use #Camtasia, historically considered as screen recording/editing software - not for shot footage. Anyway, I have cunning reasons. It involves clients making their own content. I explain myself here: www.linkedin.com/pulse/why-ca...

I’ve not seen The Traitors. Is it a rehash of The Mole that Channel 5 did in the early 00s? If so, it’s the bloke with the curly hair.
We're doing quite a bit of videoing at events, trade shows, training sessions etc. The thing about being dull & middle aged is I can blend in to the background to get the best, most relaxed, natural shots. Ah, to be nondescript. #Raiveon #VideoServices #EventVideography
I doubt any Troll here who’s trying to smear Keir Starmer about decade-old events will be interested to read these pages from my book about his record prosecuting rape gangs. But he’s done more to bring them to justice than Farage, Yaxley-Lennon - or Musk -will ever do.
Now that we're all getting settled down here, I thought I might introduce you to what we do here at Raiveon. Before I do, I promise I won't ruin your feed with blatant advertising. This is a rare foray into our business. raiveon.com

I've just had a cold call from a company trying to sell me smartphone filming training. I politely declined.
Don't tell me BBC boffins, the best boffins in the world, cannot use state of the art technology to swap out Gregg Wallace with Dom Littlewood, Heston Blumenthal, Harry Hill, Stanley Tucci, Matt Lucas etc. What are we all so worried about AI for if they can't even do that?
On a wet and windy Saturday afternoon, @jaynedavids.bsky.social and I made this about making videos more accessible. It's often overlooked when creating videos, particularly for social media. Anyway, Jayne explains... www.linkedin.com/posts/jayned...

I’m not going to tell anyone how to do Bluesky, but I would like to encourage the following: - Repost stuff you find interesting/entertaining - help others to find the good people to follow - repost small creatives who you like who are trying to plug their work
I must say it's rather lovely to see so many L&D friends here 👋
Oh good. @lightbulbjo.bsky.social is here. Worth a follow I’d say.
I've posted this elsewhere. Here's an article I wrote for Training Journal where I state incorrectly that the BBC have been using iPhones to film since 2018. When it should say "since the early 2010s". www.trainingjournal.com/2024/content...
