Grow Yer Own Porn... 2010 style w/ David Findlay
We'll define video porn as “media projects (featuring explicit sexual content) whose primary goal is to sexually arouse the viewer” for the purposes of this workshop. The focus is on creating video porn informed by current discussions of ethical and political issues around explicit sexual representation, prioritizing problem-solving and practical production activity.
Grow Yer Own Porn... 2010 style is a general development and production workshop for beginners and pros alike, aimed at developing or enhancing participants' skills around responsibly conceptualizing, scripting, planning, negotiating and contracting with performers, co-creating, lighting, shooting, recording audio for and screening porn. The first block will involve discussion, presentation and assigned homework. The latter block will include viewing of completed homework and hands-on direction/production practice. There may be live performers for the production segments of the course.
The workshop WILL NOT cover marketing, sales, assistance in finding performers or any legal issues more complicated than release forms; is NOT a substitute for professional legal counsel.
Bio: David Findlay trained at OCAD & the Banff Center's Television Production Internship, has been a video art instructor at York University, UofT's Hart House, OCAD, VIVO, TSV and elsewhere and has worked in explicitly sexual independent video since 1985. David has shot, performed, directed, written and consulted on projects for most audiences, most preferences and a wide range of different styles.

Mastering the Corporate Shoot w/ Lee Rickwood
Corporate video is an all-encompassing term that refers to a short film or video produced on behalf of a company or business, usually to promote a products or service but also to inform employees, stakeholders and partners.

Interview Techniques for Video Production w/ Lee Rickwood
What makes for a good on-camera interview? Depends on who you ask.
For the person being interviewed, it may be that a short interview is best, one that is painless and non-committal. For the interviewer, it may be that getting secrets revealed and truths uncovered is the best recipe for success.
In this overview workshop, basic techniques and technologies used when videotaping interviews will be reviewed, and specific tips for planning, conducting, shooting and editing successful on-camera interviews will be shared.
Bio: Lee Rickwood is an award-winning corporate producer, media trainer and video production workshop facilitator.

DIY – Installation ART 101 w/ Oliver Husain
This is DIY. You will be introduced to the fields of installation art and contemporary art practices. Learn to develop installation art ideas from your own local context and situation. Discover what installation art is about and its relationships between objects, materials or things and the context (place) that they are in. Become informed about the ins-and-outs of installation art.
Bio: Dressing a dialogue between images and objecthood, Oliver Husain’s projects often begin with a portrait of a person or place, and use a wide range of cinematic languages and visual codes, like dance, puppetry and animation, to disassemble and subvert fixed readings of the original material. Translating this into both cinema and gallery spaces, his installations, performances and film projects work as narrative set ups, charming or folding the viewers into questioning their role in the creation of meanings and feelings. In 2008, he was a featured filmmaker at the Flaherty Film Seminar, Colgate, New York. In 2009, his screening performance Purfled Promises was presented at Live Film! Jack Smith! Festival, Berlin. His exhibition Hovering Proxies was shown at the AGYU, Toronto in 2010. Born in Frankfurt, Germany, Oliver Husain is now based in Toronto.
