Many aspiring and professional filmmakers, who don’t live in cities like Los Angeles and New York, often wish they could take advantage of the seminars and programs offered there. Now, with a little help from technology, there are many opportunities you can enjoy right from home and here are the details about two of them.

HDSLR Filmmaking: Techniques and Workarounds from Early Adopters – Thursday, February 25^th from 1-2:30pm ET. This 90 minute Webinar, sponsored by StudioDaily and featuring speakers Charles Papert and Andrew Disney, is packed with information about different aspects of using a DSLR camera. Since the introduction of cameras like the Canon 5D Mark II and Nikon D90, filmmakers have been experimenting with and delivering 1080p HD video projects shot with these DSLR still cameras mostly because of their affordability. Unfortunately filmmakers have also faced a number of limitations, which this webinar’s panel will show you how to navigate on both short and long form video shoots. Subjects covered include: how to stretch your production budget with smaller and fewer lights, ways to minimize and correct rolling shutter, best practices for synchronizing audio, tips for working around the automatic default modes in most DLSR cameras and the latest firmware updates on manual aperture, ISO and shutter speed control. This webinar will also be archived and available for sale after the original airdate. If you have questions or would like to register contact coordinator Jessica Clegg at jclegg@accessintel.com or call her at 212-621-4626.
