16 April 2002 — In this section
of our website Mac Filmmakers
hopes to gather links to media-rich (QuickTime and Flash) news and
training available on the web of interest to digital filmmakers.
We also hope to do interviews with some of our presenters and area
leaders. Channel DV will be the location our members will come to
"jump off" to these media-rich presentations.
For now, check out these
initial offerings. Please send us links and info on any online rich-media
resources (i.e., interviews with film professionals or tutorials)
for Mac Filmmakers that you think are outstanding!

[Note
the links provided are media-rich. QuickTime,
Shockwave,
and Flash
are usually required. A broadband connection helps!]
