We're excited to have Jem present two workshops at PCONN 2011: Introduction to DSLR Filmmaking and Video Podcasting & Using Social Networks.  

Introduction to DSLR Filmmaking is an in-depth workshop which will cover pre-production and planning for HD-DSLR filmmaking, shooting tips and tricks, and post-production utilizing the latest tools on the market. Learn about new cameras, shooting accessories, and software to aid in your workflow as you master both basic and advanced techniques of digital cinema production.

Video Podcasting & Using Social Networks will provide an inside look at what goes into today’s video podcasts as well as how you can use podcasting as a new avenue for content distribution on the Internet.

Introduction to DSLR Filmmaking and Video Podcasting & Using Social Networks are just two of ProductionCONN's featured workshops. Other classes include Producing for Editors, Editing for Producers, Making Ear Candy, 3D Titling in Post-Production, 3D Production, Motion Tracking for Editing, Effects and Motion Graphics, Media Management and Data Wrangling, and Production Assistant 101: Lighting and Grip on the Set.

"It's a big show...it's about education, it's about toys for grown-up guys [and gals!] who like cameras and junk, and it's called ProductionCONN."  ~Josh Apter, Manhattan Edit Workshop
