Dumbworld: A Sacramento Based Blog on Entertainment, Media and Art

If you haven’t checked out a New Media Webinar you really should.  Lots of up to date information from industry professionals, they give away free stuff, and best of all the webinars are free (as long as you catch them live).

On June 17th they are having a free webinar on using a DSLR like a pro (Also, check out their webinar on DSLR post-production workflow):

Peter Cote, host of “The DSLR Show“, will identify the limitations of DSLRs as a filmmaking tool and how to work around them to make your project look and feel like it was produced by Hollywood.
