[Bf-committers] Seminar on Blender

[Charles Wardlaw]

Hi,

Something that Autodesk always does is they record these seminars and sell disks with the video, resource files, and a PDF of notes and slides from the presentations.

I don't know that this would help you, but if you could get organizers to agree to let you record the presentations and then afterwards you could sell the DVDs, splitting profit with the organizers, you could recoup some of the cost of the stipends you'd need to pay out to get people to Malaysia.  Also it'd benefit the community at large as there are so few master classes on Blender, and some of the most useful knowledge on the software is esoteric.

Although, I woudln't charge what Autodesk does.  Some of their DVDs have had notoriously little usable information and cost upwards of $80 USD.
