Digital Production Buzz – May 23, 2019
On the Buzz tonight, we talk with experts about the current state of production – cameras, lenses, VR, and the business of staying in business. We look at the challenges ahead, where the industry is going and what you need to know to succeed.
On another note, I’ve decided it’s time to take a break from the Digital Production Buzz to focus more on training. After our May 30th program, we’ll be putting the podcast on hiatus. You will still be able to find all of our Buzz shows on iTunes, TheBuzzShow.libsyn.com, and the DigitalProductionBuzz.com website. While I will miss hosting The Buzz and chatting with you, I look forward to creating new training.
