We’re here in Seattle setting up gear and working out last minute details. In case you missed it – I’m doing a 3-day live workshop on HDDSLR Cinema in Seattle that starts Friday – it will be streamed out over the internet for free. Exciting to say the least! Below is the schedule (subject to change) as we have it now! All times are P.S.T. For more information and to sign up pls go to creativeLIVE. If you can’t make if during these times – the course will be downloadable after the live stream for a relatively small fee.

We’ve been quite busy preparing for the 3 day workshop with creativeLIVE that will be streamed out to the web live starting next week on:
Friday, April 30th at 11 a.m. in Seattle, WA.
The workshop is FREE throughout the 3 day stream.
The goal of the workshop is to load up the internet pipes with as much information as possible relating to this “new” breed of HDDSLR cameras.
If you are interested in signing up for the free workshop please CLICK HERE NOW to reserve your spot.
It doesn’t cost you a thing – and helps us better estimate the bandwidth needs.
(If you will be away from an internet connection during that time and would like to have a copy of the workshop – the page will also give you an option to purchase a course download – which creativeLIVE is discounting PRIOR to the workshop. Also please see below for more information on attending this workshop in person.)
UPDATED: CLICK HERE TO SEE THE SCHEDULE.
The aforementioned schedule will allow you to watch the entire 3 day workshop – or to tune in for the specific section that you may have interest in. This is an important goal of mine – as I expect that people from many different levels of experience will be tuning in. So if you’d like to hear about how to best set the Picture Styles in your Canon 5D MKII or your White Balance – we’ll cover that. If you’re only interested in tuning in to see the new Zeiss CP.2 Cinema style lenses and what they offer – feel free to tune in for just that portion as well.
The workshop will be broken down into 3 main sections: THEORY, GEAR/TECHNICAL, and LIVE SHOOTS (followed by some workflow examples that discuss basic editing, grading, and output.)
In the THEORY Section – we will be giving an overview of the “language of cinema” and discussing when to use certain techniques and more importantly “why” or to what effect. This is the section where we’ll discuss why you’d want to shoot something with a handheld rig versus a slider or dolly. And we’ll also discuss how to use that dolly for maximum effect. We’ll also go over some important foundation blocks – such as the hierarchy of a film crew and discuss each crew member’s responsibilities: don’t know what a Gaffer is or what a 1st AC does – we’ll discuss that. For those that haven’t had a chance to go to film school – this should be a welcome introduction into the art of filmmaking. Read the rest of this entry »
As some of you may remember – I made a comment earlier this year that 2010 would see some incredible products being released in the HDDSLR realm.
NAB 2010 kicks off tomorrow – and you should expect some pretty fantastic announcements from a wide variety of companies. I know of quite a few – but am sworn to secrecy for at least another 12 hours or so.
For those of you who could not make it out to the city of sin for this conference – know that a lot of the buzz here surrounds the HD DSLR and “convergence” worlds. Very exciting times. I can’t wait to share a lot of what I know with you very shortly. Zeiss, RedRock Micro, Lite Panels, Marshall Electronics, Canon and many many more have some very exciting announcements.
