Viral Video: How to create or outsource production to make videos that connect
This session will help you learn how to produce eye catching and engaging videos. From a small, cost efficient production, to full time, professional videographers, this session will not only give you tips and techniques on how to begin video production for your organization, but if you are already producing videos, how to take them to the next level and produce eye catching, evangelizing, and award winning (if that’s your thing) videos. With a vast knowledge of TV news, production houses and independent videography, Tim and Allen will give you the tips and techniques needed to make your Catholic-centered videos look and feel like all the secular videos filling up your social media feeds.
Allen Kinzly was born in Douglasville, Georgia and has lived his whole life except one year in the Peach State. After graduating from high school in Peachtree City, GA, he attended one year of college in Birmingham, AL but ended up transferring to and graduating from the University of Georgia. While at UGA he spent 3 years as the mascot for the Bulldogs, donning the outfits of Spike and Hairy Dawg. With a degree in Sports Communications in hand and a year of interning at the Atlanta FOX affiliate under his belt, his first ‘real job’ after school was as the weekend sports anchor/reporter at the ABC and FOX duopoly in Savannah, GA. As a ‘one man band,’ he shot, edited, produced, wrote and presented local sportscasts for 5 years in the Coastal Empire and South Carolina Low country. After returning to Atlanta, Kinzly held many jobs as a producer, photographer and editor at both The Weather Channel and at the #1 ABC affiliate in the country, Atlanta’s WSB-TV. In the summer of 2014, the Archdiocese of Atlanta created a ‘multi-media specialist’ position in the Communications department that would have a heavy emphasis on videography. He was offered the job and has been building the position, video library and communications within the Archdiocese ever since.
He is a CPA award winner for a variety of categories and enjoys the “better hours and less stress than a TV newsroom.” In his free time, Kinzly plays and refs soccer, competes in triathlons (half Ironman finisher!) and attends sporting events of his beloved Georgia Bulldogs and Atlanta sports teams.
Tim Williams is a native of Savannah Georgia. After developing a passion for photographer and photojournalism he began working at Savannah’s CBS affiliate, WTOC-TV out of high school. First as a News Production Assistant, than a Videojournalist, and for the last 7 of his 10 years with them as a Commercial and Marketing Videographer. During his time with WTOC he was responsible for newscast production, shooting and editing news stories, producing local and regional TV commercials, long-form videos and documentary pieces, and multi-cam live TV shows in the field such as parades and specials. In January of 2016 he began working for the Diocese of Savannah’s Communications Department where he oversaw the installation and operation of a multi-cam video system in the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist, as well as producing video projects around the 90 county Diocese in south Georgia. When not traveling and working around the Diocese, Tim enjoys still photography, as well as camping and hiking.
