creativeLIVE class schedule (for all)

So, let’s start with full disclosure: um, to be quite honest, I don’t quite know exactly what to expect. Much of this we’ll be doing for the first time. But, now that that’s out of the way, here are a few things we do know … I’ll be heading out to Seattle early to film a few shoots of children and families ahead of time, at a variety of locations, to refer to via video later. And we’re doing a Design Budget Challenge – basically, me running around the city trying to find some great, price-friendly outfitting options for a home or commercial space studio, with a cinematographer alongside me.

A note from Craig, at creativeLIVE … Here are some details on how to view Tamara’s upcoming creativeLIVE weekend: The LIVE event can be viewed for free here. That requires a good speed Internet connection. Typical DSL or Cable Internet should work. We record the full event in HD video. If you purchase those recordings, here, you’ll be able to download and watch the recording of Tamara’s workshop whenever you like. I’ll answer any other questions that come up. We’re all looking forward to this weekend. It’s going to be a lot of fun!
