Webinar Production Services | History Colorado PAAC Lecture Series

Most institutions host exceptional lectures every year.

Scholars present decades of research. Staff share specialized expertise. Public audiences attend, learn, and leave.

Then the moment passes.

History Colorado’s Office of Archaeology and Historic Preservation chose to preserve that expertise rather than let it remain ephemeral. The result was a ten-part PAAC Online Lecture Series featuring archaeologist and author Kenneth Feder, produced for long-term digital access and continuing education credit.

To support that goal, the program was captured as a complete lecture series production and delivered through professional webinar production services, with each episode edited for clarity, pacing, and long-term viewing.

Each lecture qualifies for 0.5 PAAC credit hours through self-reporting, transforming live programming into a credentialed, on-demand educational resource.

The Opportunity

The lectures already existed as well-developed presentations exploring archaeological frauds, myths, and mysteries. The content was strong.

The question was whether it could live beyond a single room and a single date.

This project converted live, slide-based lectures into a structured digital series designed for:

• Students

• Lifelong learners

• Public audiences

• Individuals seeking optional PAAC continuing education credit

Rather than simple lecture capture, the goal was to build a durable educational asset that reflects institutional standards and holds up over time.

Production & Scope

Produced and edited in collaboration with William Sarris Productions, the series was filmed over four shoot days in Connecticut.

The project required more than a simple recording. It needed lecture series production that could preserve the feel of in-room teaching while delivering a polished, accessible online experience.

Filming took place inside a compact home office environment using a controlled two-camera setup. Lighting and framing were designed to feel intentional and focused, not like a webinar recording.

The project included:

• Ten long-form lectures (46–65 minutes each)

• Slide integration and light PowerPoint refinements

• Captioned versions for accessibility

• Custom thumbnail graphics

• Institution-ready delivery files

Post-production took approximately one week per episode across the series. Post-production took approximately one week per episode. Beyond filming, the series required careful educational video production: pacing edits, slide integration, thumbnail design, and captioned webinar recordings prepared for institutional distribution.

Because the material was slide-driven, each lecture was rebuilt in post for clarity and pacing:

• Slide timing aligned with narrative rhythm

• Visual emphasis supported key ideas without distraction

• Cross-references between lectures were integrated cleanly

• Humor and personality were preserved while maintaining institutional tone

The objective was to retain the energy of the classroom while producing a series that feels deliberate and professionally crafted.

Release & Long-Term Value

Sample lecture from the series: Episode 7, “Hail Atlantis!” from Exposing Hoaxes, Busting Myths, & Solving Mysteries (History Colorado).

History Colorado released the complete ten-part series as a single batch. The lectures remain active and available on demand.

What was once a live presentation is now:

• A credentialed educational resource

• A scalable public program

• A preserved archive of expertise

• A long-term institutional asset

This model allows institutions to extend the lifespan of their programming while maintaining academic integrity and production quality.

“A great lecture is ephemeral. Once the words are spoken, it’s gone. To know that these videos will be out there for a long time really pleases me.”
