I just received confirmation that the Writers Guild will be hosting us for our May meeting on May 27, 2009 @ 7 pm. The Writers Guild is located on Fairfax and 3rd.

Here is the initial PR info for the event:

“From Camera to YouTube” – A New Media Workshop presented by New Media Interchange

Wednesday, May 27, 2009 – 7 pm
“From Camera to YouTube” will show you the process of creating any New Media project from initial recording to final placement on YouTube (or other video sharing site).
We will demonstrate different types of cameras and their unique pros and cons, discuss audio recording and microphones, editing software, and online services designed to host, share and distribute your new media projects to the world.
“From Camera to YouTube” is designed to give you the information you need to start creating New Media projects today. Bring your most pressing questions.
You’ll also get a opportunity to hear how the Writers Guild is addressing New Media and its unique challenges for writers.
New Media Interchange is a free group dedicated to bringing the power of New Media to everyone. You can find more information on our web site at http://newmediainterchange.com and our community/discussion site, http://community.newmediainterchange.com.

Here is a link to a site that hosts online classes for free.  If you would like to understand the basics of a particular topic, this is a great place to get started.  Classes usually consist of about 4-8 lessons and can be completed when you have the time.  You read through a lesson and then do the follow up exercises before moving on to the next lesson.  If you have questions, there is a class leader for each course you take.  You can email them or post in the class forum.  I have found the classes to be helpful and informative.  As of this posting there were about 70 classes available.
