This site is owned and operated by long-time video professional Lorraine Grula.
Who is Lorraine Grula?
For starters, she’s the gal with lots of red hair in this video.
Lorraine has tons of real-world experience in the trenches of video production. She’s certainly not one of these Johnny-Come-Latelies who doesn’t actually know much about how to make video but decided to get into it because it is a hot new thing. (There are a lot of these types online, BEWARE!) Lorraine has been creating high quality, creative videos for the past 30 years. Plus, she KNOWS how to teach others! She won’t talk over your head.
A well-respected professional working primarily in the Nashville, Tennessee Video and TV News market, Lorraine’s spent her life in the field creating video stories on every subject imaginable. Primarily, she worked as a hands-on field producer, videographer (AKA a camera woman) and videotape editor. Here she is back in the day of electric typewriters and 3/4 inch videotape.
Ah, the good old days in my early career. 🙂 Yes, those are U-Matic 3/4 inch video tapes behind me. Oh, and a typewriter. Remember those? Little did I know about all the exciting adventures I’d soon have working for about 20 years as a television news field producer, videographer and editor. I was lucky enough to participate in lots of projects that won several prestigious awards, including The Edward R. Murrow award, The Robert F. Kennedy Award, and various awards from the Associated Press. Besides doing news and journalism videos, I also spent many years freelancing, doing medical tutorials, B2B videos, commercials and infomercials. I actually won a local Reader’s Poll award for some hospital commercials I did as a freelance producer. Then, I went into the classroom and taught a bunch of crazy high school kids how to make awesome videos that expressed their creativity and values. We won about 40 regional and national awards that I am extremely proud of. Everything here at Video Production Tips is a result of this decades-long career. I totally enjoy building this site and sharing my experience with others across the globe.
Emmy Award Winning Instructor
A group of my high school students holding their many awards.
After growing weary of the often perverse and pitiful nature of the TV News biz, Lorraine took her expertise into the classroom and spent two years teaching high school TV Production, building a small-town program into a nationally recognized one. Her students won over forty-five awards in just two years worth of teaching, including the National Association for Television Arts & Sciences (NATAS) Student Award of Excellence, the equivalent to a high school Emmy. Here’s a picture of some of her students proudly holding their awards. If she can get those goofy kids to make great videos, she can teach anybody!
Now you can benefit from the lifetime career of this television professional with a proven record of effective teaching. Lorraine currently owns this blog and a web video business concentrating in the video production niche. Her goal is to help you learn Video Production the easy way! Lorraine has opened this site with the mission of providing accurate, reliable, objective information for those who care to learn the art and science of video production.

This is the picture used in the newspaper article. We made the news by winning a National Emmy award in a category reserved for high school academia, The NATAS Student Awards of Excellence. We won for a 10-minute original comedy Christmas Special named An Enchanting Holiday. The awards banquet was held at the Time Warner Headquarters in NYC. All our expenses to travel from Tennessee and attend were paid by NATAS as part of our prize. NATAS sponsors the Emmy Awards and stands for the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences. It as a great excuse for me to buy a new dress, which I have not worn since. I like my pj pants too much. 🙂
