While I have been a subscriber to VIDEOMAKER MAGAZINE since its inception and am a firm believer that it is one of the best references for consumer & prosumer uses,
I don't think they're one day of instruction school will give anyone the tools they need to learn how to truly work their camera or shoot video.
That is something that will only come about by an established education and HOURS behind the lens.
You've also got to realize that the Videomaker 'school' is also going to be in a major market area that will bring in several hundred attendees and you won't get the 1 on 1 or even 1 on 25 person attention you would hope for to get your questions answered or learn about your specific equipment.
This isn't negative response------it's realistic.

You have to WORK at video like you do anything else.
