Great Movie Making Info ...Monthly
Each month at Ealing Studios, we hold an evening seminar with an expert speaker, often with the speakers recent works thrown in.
It's a great way to stay in the loop and network too.
WHAT MAKES OUR SEMINARS DIFFERENT? First off,
the info is all up to date and cutting edge. Second,
we get experts in and often cut a deal with book
publishers so you walk away with a great book on the
subject (usually written by the speaker, so you
can
even get it signed), and third is the price - it's
never more than £15 and usually a tenner.
Where possible, we also try and arrange great prizes
too. In the Feb Seminar on HD we gave away a copy
of Avid Xpress Pro vers 5.7, worth £1,200! One smart
guy even tried to buy all the tickets for the
seminar as he realised that it would be cheaper than
buying this software! We declined of course and
Ross Birbeck walked away with this amazing prize, donated
by those lovely people at Avid.
