"Videomaker Events are a great place to network with dozens of other people who love making video. Students may misinterpret the ease of making video because of the explosion of sites such as YouTube and MySpaceTV. At our Chico Workshops, Videographers have a chance to learn directly from the experts and realize the endless potential of video. Our Conference seminars provide a foundation for participants to learn how to make better video. By attending the Summit Videographers may realize that like any other craft, excellence comes with training, diligence and hard work."
