Yesterday we had the pleasure of going down to Art Wolfe’s studio in SoDo to meet with one of the heads of CreativeTechs.com about our upcoming footage seminars. Honestly I was not entirely sure what we would find and was curious to see what kind of space and operation they had. Danita, Dave and I were very pleasantly surprised to find a well equipped studio with full HD camera set up, a staff of four people each doing their part to broadcast to the world, a very skilled and informative photographer leading the discussion and eight very comfortable chairs for the live studio audience.

We sat in on a webinar streaming live on the internet regarding the use of ambient light and strobes in photography. Not only was the class very informative, we were told that these courses were in fact FREE to those watching it unfold live online, and FREE to those who come sit in the studio and participate in the discussion. The class was not unlike your standard how-to segment on public broadcasting or an instructional DVD, but rather than it being a canned production the “students” were participating in the discussion via two members of the staff moderating chat rooms set up for the class.

This is a tremendous teaching tool and an incredible bargain. They offer 5 and 10 week courses on various subjects pertaining to all forms of media. They make it financially feasible by selling the downloads of each class, and full courses on their website, but like I said before, to watch live online or in the studio in Seattle is 100% FREE.

Here is a short list of some of the classes underway this quarter and starting next quarter:
