Footage Seminar Postponed

We are very sorry to announce that our upcoming series of Footage seminars, scheduled to begin on April 5th, have been suddenly postponed. Our web broadcast service Creative Techs has taken on a new owner and changed their name to Creative Live. They are also re-evaluating their upcoming curriculum and are unable to give us a new start time for the series, or even acknowledge that they will honor their commitment to us for the broadcasts.

9 days before our first class was scheduled to start, we received an email from owner Craig Swanson as follows:

“I’m sorry to do this. …there are some big changes coming up for our classroom in April.  Chase Jarvis is now a co-owner of our online classroom, and we’re having to adjust some schedules around some big events that he is part of rolling out.”

Needless to say, this unprofessional behavior is unacceptable to us and we are now looking for alternative ways to conduct and deliver the seminars. We will let you all know as soon as suitable arrangements have been made.

In the meantime, please don’t stop shooting and submitting your footage! If you have not yet started, talk with Danita or Jeff Lawrence about how to submit your clips. The web site is still going live with footage on April 5th as originally planned and we are adding clips as soon as they are ready.

While we were hoping to save the following announcement for our April 12th seminar on editing footage, we are pleased to announce that we have made arrangements to provide our photographers with extremely reasonable pricing on post production of footage clips! Remember when you used to send your film in for processing? Well now that same convenience is available for editing your footage clips! Just send in raw footage in clips of 60 seconds or less and you will get back time edited, color corrected, and keyworded clips ready for submission to us for immediate uploading. And if you need special effects like zooming or panning added in post, this too can be done at low cost. Just contact us for pricing.

We hope this hasn’t caused you any inconvenience. We’ll keep you posted!
