***3. ARTICLES AND THINGS YOU NEED TO READ AND DO
WATCH: Cant make it to the Wednesday night lacpug meet? Well
here is next best thing:
“Finding (and Cutting) A Great Short Film” with Misha Tenenbaum
FREE webinar. Tuesday, January 24 at 11:30AM PST.
As CEO of Editstock — an online service that provides uncut footage
for people to practice editing with — Misha Tenenbaum spends most
of his time doing two things: Finding new films for EditStock’s library
and giving users feedback on their cuts. In this presentation, Misha
shares what he’s learned through these two vital processes — including
how bad films may have more to teach us than good ones do.
Webinars will now appear on ProVideoCoalition.com
