Hi,

I am wondering if anyone here has viewed these dvd's and can tell me if they are worthwhile? I didn't see them listed in Glen's resources.

"The Wedding Videographer's Companion DVD's Volumes 1 and 2" with John Cooksey

Thanks!

Hey Cara,
I bought that dvd approx 4mos ago. It's a good training material. I would recommend it. It's not in-depth training but it presents and quickly explains what many prof videographers are doing, and many simple techniques they are using. The training material Glen has recommended is more in-depth training for specific techniques and skills. Cooksey training dvd is not in-depth like those but it hits many techniques and ideas that are very viable to this business. A great companion to that dvd is his broadcast techniques which with these 2 dvd's you've got a really great resource. Chris Watson also has a training DVD out which I picked up and is very good as well. "Super Charge your Raw footage" http://4evergroup.moorecastsites.com/20467_2793.asp
Hope this helps

Sweet! Thanks for the info. I just purchased the advanced broadcast techniques 2 dvd set and am waiting anxiously for it to arrive. The Watson training does look good and I love his work - that'll have to be my next purchase.
Thanks Again!
