For those of you that haven’t heard it through the grapevine, I recently took the position of Education Director for Samy’s Camera here in Southern California. I’ll be bringing a lot of the energy and excitement from the PhotoCine Expo to the classes and workshops at Samy’s.
One of the first workshops I added was Audio for DSLR Video with Jeremy Ian Thomas. If you missed the last time Jeremy taught an audio workshop, this is your second chance. The class takes place March 5th at the Samy’s Fairfax Education building (down the street from the store). Cost is $50 register here.
Next up is an overview of DSLR video with Loren Simons on March 22cd for only $25. This 3 hour class is a great overview for anyone who wants to take their DSLR cameras to the next level. Instructor Loren Simons will walk students through everything about setting up the camera for video including shutter speed (180° shutter rule), frames per second, optimal ISO’s, depth of field/focusing techniques, audio recording, monitoring, and stabilization accessories. This class will also discuss tripods (fluid head VS. friction head), continuous lighting gear, and camera movement using sliders and steadicam. Loren is a great guy with a ton of knowledge (even though he looks 12). He’s often a hollywood go to guy for HDSLR rigging and he works the tradeshows for Redrock Micro.
Keep an eye on the Samy’s EDU blog for more DSLR video classes as well as Photoshop/Lightroom classes and interesting photo trips.
