     If someone doesn't know how to make a documentary, someone prolly should not spend their money on making one.

    A webinar is not gonna change a person who cannot see a finsished vision to someone who can. We're talking the difference between artists and managers here. Apples to oranges... which is why so many apples seek oranges to distribute their art.

    I originally didn't know how to make Doc's, but was trained on how to do it. Now it's second nature for me after many years of making them. Nobody knows instinctively how to do this stuff. You hopefully get training or work with a Master Filmmaker and learn how. Or, you can try that 'school of hard knocks' nonsense and do it through trial and error. True a Webinar may not transform an attendee into an accomplished filmmaker instantly, but it can get them pointed in the right direction. It may even show someone that they really aren't cut out for that kind of thing which is not necessarily bad.

    Between those who profess to know it all and those who have no idea is a wide range of enthusiasts who, like Wolfgang notes, could use at least a nudge in the right direction. Short of being involved with an accomplished documentary producer, serving coffee and observing to learn the skills, or jumping in and attempting to learn from your mistakes while also researching by viewing and paying attention to a host of successful documentaries (commercially or popular non-profit efforts) there's nothing said that indicates a webinar will provide ALL the information necessary, but certainly could help the most interested in finding direction.

    Grinner, here lately, some of your post responses indicate a possible BURR up your asperations ;-) Wassup man.

    I think I will be attending this one. I am making one for my company and I have a really good idea of what the finished project will look like. I can always use a few pointer and may rethink the direction I am going to take with it after the the web conference.

    lol. I do love how you call me on things, man. Appologies for sounding like a bitter old man as of late. Going through a divorce, had to close down shop and take a staff gig and I guess that's seeping out into my verbage. I'll be a chipper hippie again in no time, you Kenny Rodgers lookin' fool.

    Grinner,

    Bummer! Your shop was no doubt your pride and joy. I could see that in those promo vids you made when you moved in. Luckily, you were able to find regular work. Too bad things went the way they did. You also seemed quite the family man in that online show you had. I hope things work out for you.
