Training Update
Euphonix MC Color Training
This is a special week at TaoOfColor.com. This week we launch the Private Alpha of the Euphonix training. Initially, the only people having access will the be the folks who are entitled to the training for free (from the promotion I ran back in July). If you're one of those people, you'll get an email from me with details. You'll be guinea pigs helping me test out the membership system and the streaming video delivery system.
After that we'll move into Limited Beta; I'll have a limited number of slots on a First Come, First Serve basis. I'll need to test out the payment system before the training goes into wide-release. An email will go out to Newsletter subscribers (that's you) once we enter Limited Beta, giving everyone an equal chance to get in 'under the wire'.
Once I'm sure the bugs are worked out, then our doors will be wide open.
Control Surface Training Update
TaoOfColor.com got its start from a very simple PowerPoint presentation on color grading & theory. I decided to start with Control Surface training for a variety of reasons... one of the biggest reasons is: I'm a total evangelist for control surfaces. It's a part-time passion.
I want everyone using control surfaces so we can get more hardware choices at more price points and more software designed to leverage that hardware... all for the express purpose of liberating post-production professionals from the flat confines of a screen and mouse. The less we think about our interfaces the more we can focus on the creative, fulfilling aspects of our work - turning us from worker bees into craftsman.
I've been thinking deep about what all my control surface training will look like, beyond just "push this button" training videos. Right now, I want to share with you... this is starting to look like an actual business - and not just some crazy half-implemented idea. I'm really excited about what is rolling out over the next few weeks! I look forward to sharing this journey with you.
Thanks for reading this far!
Sincerely,
Patrick
