Q&A Thread for Mark Shulman, LIVEbrary #1

Teachers, Librarians, Students and Homeschoolers -- welcome to the very first week of the Annick LIVEbrary, where students get to interact with authors in a secure environment under the guidance of our Series Librarian.

Today begins our first program, D.I.Y. Video, Solo and Team Work. The Lesson Plan has been posted here, with a reading, an assignment, a quiz, and discussion questions: it's available on the blog or as a PDF download. On Thursday, you'll have a chance to chat LIVE with Mark Shulman, author of Attack of the Killer Video Book: Tips & Tricks for Young Directors, from Annick Press. In order to chat with Mark, you need to install Skype software and send us your Skype Username.

But you don't have to wait until Thursday to start asking questions. Go ahead, add them to this "thread" using the "comment" button on this message. Do you want to know how much it costs to make a movie? How about what kind of camera you need? Do you want to know how to put your videos up on YouTube? Pile your questions here and Mark will answer them, either here or in Thursday's chat.

Thanks for trying the LIVEbrary -- we hope you like it!
