Who’s Speaking?

Jeremy Wilker (@TWEAK), a Minneapolis-based digital tech and cinematographer, will take you through the technical details and offer up various tips and tricks to get you comfortable with creating motion or give you the comfort you need to begin collaborating with film crews. He's been shooting and editing video (Final Cut Pro) for years and has won several local awards for his documentary and narrative shorts. Jeremy's first feature film, TRIUMPH67, is coming out in 2010.

Sweet Schwag!

We love our supporters! At our last workshop we gave away some great gear to some lucky participants! Besides some HDMI cables and free consulting from TWEAK, Studio 1414 gave away an amazing studio rental (Congrats, Ryder!), Flashlight gave away some of their sweet T-shirts, Shelter gave away reusable steel water bottles, West Photo gave away some gift cards, ThinkTank Photo gave away one of their pro photo bags (Way to go, Nate!) and Adobe gave one lucky winner a copy of the new Lightroom 3 (with video support) when it ships! Wowzers.
