As I write this it’s Tuesday night. Time is running out for two separate but equally cool things happening in our video production and post world. One is an educational bundle and one is an event. Both have only a few days left before they are gone!

The Tenth Annual San Francisco FCPUG SuperMeet is this coming Friday, January 28. Tickets are on sale now for $15 with $20 tickets at the door. As always there’s quite an agenda for this SuperMeet including a number of actual Final Cut Studio presentations! One of those is a presentation by the makers of the hilarious I The ProRes Maker music video. And there will be presentations on 3D and Smoke on Mac among others. Of course the world famous raffle is taking place  once again with over $47,000 in prizes. One of those prizes is an AJA Ki Pro Mini so if it’s actually shipping by then the winner may be one of the first owners!

All the information you might need to know about attending the the Tenth Annual San Francisco FCPUG SuperMeet is available at the SuperMeet webpage. Looks like it’s going to be a fun show.

The other item available this week only is a superbundle that FilmmakingWebinars.com has put together with all five DSLR filmmaking webinars they’ve produced thus far. This is $50 for five webinars and includes the  5 on-demand webinars, bonus material, podcast interviews as well as project and media files for trying out what was learned.

The 5 topics include the Production Reality Check, Post Workflows (which was my particular webinar), Color Grading Workflows, Audio Techniques Production and Post and DSLR Stabilizing Techniques.

This is a one-of-a-kind bundle so if you’re new to DSLR filmmaking the price of $50 really can’t be beat for the sheer volume of material you’ll get for that price. But hurry as this sale is only good through 1-29-2011.

If you’re not heading out to Target or Home Depot at 4:00 AM then fire up your web browser and grab some new media webinars for half price. There’s a lot of good educational stuff over there to choose from including Web Video Compression Techniques or Editing Bootcamp: Get Organized!. If I may also recommend and of the DSLR webinars including DSLR Filmmaking Color Grading Workflows, DSLR Filmmaking Production Reality Check and the webinar that I hosted, DSLR Filmmaking Post Workflows. There’s also one more upcoming DSLR webinar called DSLR Filmmaking Audio Techniques Production and Post so there’s something out there for everyone. On December 2 I’ll be doing another webinar called Useful Applications For Digital Filmmakers. It should be a lot of fun so sign up today and head back on Friday for 50% off.

There’s a new bundle option available at New Media Webinars where they’ve packaged together some of their most popular webinars into a package. That includes a new DSLR Filmmaking Bundle which is both the DSLR Filmmaking Production Reality Check and the DSLR Filmmaking Post Workflows webinar that I hosted recently together for only $40. That saves $10 off of buying them separately. If you want a crash course in DSLR filmmaking then this is the bundle to get.

If you want to get some good training for a great price then check out New Media Webinars as they are currently having a 2 for 1 sale on their on-demand webinars. You have to act fast as the sale ends at the end of the week, July 31. There’s no special link on the website so this is how you get the deal (from the New Media Webinars newsletter):

Purchase any of our on-demand webinars between 7/26/2010 and 7/31/2010 and get one for free! Yes! That means you are getting 2 on-demand webinars for only $25. But hurry, because this sale ends on 7/31/2010. All purchases must be dated between 7/26/2010 and 7/31/2010. You will automatically receive an email after your purchase with instructions on how to get your 2nd on-demand webinar for free.

This is the perfect opportunity to promote the DSLR Filmmaking Post Workflows webinar that I recently conducted for New Media Webinars:

The reason the 2 for 1 sale is a perfect deal? You can get both the DSLR Filmmaking Post Workflows and the DSLR Filmmaking Production Reality Check conducted by Peter Cote for one $25 purchase. That’s a lot of DSLR info for very little money. If you don’t know Peter’s work then check out his DSLR Show website or see the amazing work he did on the Guy Walks Across America video.

I’m proud to say that I’ll be working with NewMediaWebinars.com and presenting a webinar about DSLR post-production on June 22, 2010. The session will begin at 10:00 am Pacific (1:00 pm for the east coasters) and lasts 90 minutes. The webinar is free to attend live but the best value is the $25 package that includes the live event, a downloadable HD version of the archive, an audio podcast with an exclusive Q and A as well as project files used during the webinar. You can read all about the event including a detailed description on what we will be covering as well as an agenda at the DSLR Post Workflow page. If you have any specific questions you’d like to see covered then please comment below and we’ll try to address them. This is part of a two webinar series that New Media Webinars is doing that also includes a DSLR Filmmaking Production Reality Check.

A short preview (a look at the CAnon EOS Log and Transfer plug-in for Final Cut Pro) is below. If you’re curious about DSLR post-production then this event is for you.
