I have been talking to a number of you on this board lately and thought perhaps if there were enough folks in NYC area interested, I would give a one day seminar on lighting. If this sounds interesting to any of you then email me at info@bluesky-web.com

Walter, give one in northern Vermont and I can guarantee you at least one participant!!
 
Re: Lighting seminar/NYC for DVX user group?

how about someplace just outside of nyc?

i went to a seminar someplace just outside of ny on the ct border and there was a huge turnout both from nyc people and a lot of others who avoid nyc traffic and hotel prices.

i might goto a nyc one but the parking etc. might keep me away.

a dvd setup would be great... :)

Damn Walter. Its 75 degrees today in San Diego! Come on out and Fish Tacos and Coronas are on me!
 
Re: Lighting seminar/NYC for DVX user group?

Hmmm.... What about us lowly XL2 users, can we attend? I'm in Stamford, CT and would definitely come down for that.
 
Re: Lighting seminar/NYC for DVX user group?

Matt, 99% of all the questions on this entire board will be answered and demonstrated in my senminar. While I will have folks with a bit more experience, I put everyone on the same page and talk in a language that anyone will understand easily. In fact most all who signed up as of now own DV camerras so they wil learn how to make some great picture as I love working with less and making more. Being used to all the bells and whistles as I am is nice but I concentrate on making a lot with very little.  I am sure you could benefit hugely from attending. In fact bring your camera and I will use it as one of the demo cameras for set ups and show you how to make it look like you've never imagined it could.

Walter, you should seriously consider bringing a seminar down to Southern California. There's tons of us that would sign up for it, which would certainly cover the extra cost of airfare and lodging.

I'm in Northern California, but I would absolutely make the trek down to participate.
 
Re: Lighting seminar/NYC for DVX user group?

If those dates change due to attendance, let me know. I'll be in NYC in February. Damn, if only my Dad had been born 2 weeks sooner.
 
Re: Lighting seminar/NYC for DVX user group?

I am thinking aobt taking it to many cities.

I just added some more to the seminar. By request I am going to spend time teaching how to light with homemade lights making them look like pro set ups.

I am also working on my own 60 watt flourescent fixture which I hope to have at the NYC seminar as an introduction and may then produce them for $100 or so a unit undercutting all the expensive mde flouros out there so everyone can use them.
 
Re: Lighting seminar/NYC for DVX user group?

Walter:

What are the basic characteristics of Tungsten lights vs. Flourescent Lights vs HMI Lights?

And what type if any do you find yourself using the most?

I guess this question acually could be the start of a new thread.

Yes yes yes!
 
Re: Lighting seminar/NYC for DVX user group?

COME TO CALIFORNIA!

(Or as our governor would say KAL-E-FORNEA)
 
Will anyone have a camera at these seminars????

Will anyone have a camera at these seminars????

Just an idea, but in addition to the homegrown 60 Watt floro sets....How about making a quick production out of the lighting seminar(s) and making a DVD available? It doesn't have to be too fancy as long as the info is there.

You can sign me up for a copy! (or bring the show to Seattle).

Regards - P


EDIT: Just saw the info for the "Walter Graff Vignettes" series. I'll gladly subscribe, thanks!
 
Re: Lighting seminar/NYC for DVX user group?

I've gotten a lot of similar requests for DVDs. Problem is I would need to make it a multi DVD set and it would take a lot to make. I don't do things half ass. Then would have to figure out how much to charge.
 
Re: Lighting seminar/NYC for DVX user group?

For those of us who can't come, why not record the lecture and the Q+A so the rest of us can benefit as well?

EDIT: Just read posts, I was thinking more along the lines of web hosting rather than DVD but it's all good
 
Re: Lighting seminar/NYC for DVX user group?

Walter, Please come to california!!!!! Southern California! You will have a good turnout!!! PLEASE!!!!!
 
Re: Lighting seminar/NYC for DVX user group?

How about a PAY PER CLICK Online School?

Each lesson would be at cost and a KEY would be provided upon order.

Just thinking out loud; Not sure how long each session or subject is.

That is why I thought about the DVD vignette series that is small 10-15 minute lessons specific to a particular topic. I like to have a DVd rather than a web scenario as web scenarios are not reliable and take more time for me to set up than a DVD in the mail.
