'Samah Dada, Erin Phraner, Vallery Lomas discuss how they hone their craft at the intersection of recipe development and video production, moderated by Reshma Gopaldas, VP, Video, SHE Media. Topics discussed include: making mistakes and applying learnings towards both business and personal growth, #cookingfails and #bakingfails, showing your personality in your content and how that contributes to developing a relationship with your audience, shooting b-roll and cutaways, translating broadcast standards and practices into the digital world, filming live vs. pre-produced food segments, the optimal video production setup (and if it actually exists), creating video specifically for social media and how that differs from other video content, the best video editing apps both on computers & mobile devices, and above all, \"don\'t be afraid of the camera!\"  Samah Dada is the founder, recipe developer, and photographer for her food Instagram and health and wellness-focused food and travel blog, DADAEATS. She grew up in Newport Beach, California and spent four years in London, England where she first became enamored with the intersection of food, travel, and culture. After studying Media and Public Policy at UC Berkeley and solo-traveling through Europe, Samah pursued her dream of moving to New York to join the prestigious NBCUniversal Page Program. She has worked full-time in broadcast television production at the TODAY Show where she is also an on-air food contributor. She is the host of her own digital cooking show, a TODAY Show original series called #COOKING with @DADAEATS. She started @DADAEATS with the goal of sharing her culinary endeavors, food adventures, and passion for creating indulgent yet healthy eats with her audience.   Erin Phraner is a Supervising Video Producer at BuzzFeed, where she manages teams dedicated to the creation of highly shareable editorial and branded lifestyle content across platforms covering food, home, entertainment, health and family.
