I'd be interested in how you get on. Cyril - it sounds like your co-workers are getting a great deal out of you if you can get round and do one to ones. I think it is scalable though. Good luck.

I've been slowly introducing video in the website I work for and the most difficult is getting it into the work process. I've started off by making videos myself, which I then showed to the team to explain what we could obtain. I then got all the equipment ready. The next step was to sit down one by one with each team member and assist them in making videos. However now the hardest is for each one to get into a habit of making videos and taking risks. It still feels like an unnatural process to everyone, so I'm really trying to turn it into a habit, yet keeping it simple so no one is scared of getting to video editing.

Their assignment is to create a video (journalism preferably, but not necessarily). So far, their at the excited first stage: we'll see how it plays out over the next week or two.
