“The Summit is a great place to network with dozens of other people who love making video.” – Matt York, founder of the Videomaker Summit and Publisher of Videomaker Magazine. York also stated “Students may misinterpret the ease of making video because of the explosion of sites such as YouTube® and MySpaceTV®. By attending the Videomaker Summit and similar events, they may realize that just like any other craft, excellence comes with training, diligence and hard work.”

Seminars are designed for video enthusiasts on all levels of expertise, from beginner to professional. All seminars are taught by experts, including Videomaker Magazine’s own editors and contributing editors. “These seminars provide a foundation for participants to learn how to make better video,” says York. “Videographers have a chance to learn directly from the experts and realize the endless potential of video. With such a variety of seminars, participants will have an opportunity to increase their knowledge, skills and creativity in a variety of video specialties.

1-Day Focused Lessons for this year’s Summit East include: Hands-On Advanced Editing, Vidcast Production and Audio Mixing. Lesson Descriptions can be found on our events site here.

The 3-day Basic Production Workshop is sure to fill up fast. Workshops start each day with a one-hour seminar on the tasks of the day, then the class breaks into groups to make their video projects. Day one is Production Planning then attendees learn to shoot in a studio setup and on location on day 2, and edit it all together on day 3. The weekend culminates with a completed video for each group which will then be uploaded to YouTube.
