Earl Mann, CEO of COMf5, is on the cutting edge of new technology you can use now. MCA-i is honored to have Earl Mann come all the way from the east coast to show us How To Take Advantage of Internet TV, Social Media and Mobile Platforms Merging. Whether you are a large media business or a freelancer—or somewhere in between—you need to market yourself and your services with high-impact/low-effort communications. This is what you will learn about on Wednesday May 16:
MCA-i's signature event, MediaProCamp, sponsored by Panasonic for the second consecutive year, is again FREE to media pros who pre-register on line. MediaProCamp is really an all-day (9:00 to 3:00 pm) series of roundtable discussions among working media professionals. The idea is that no one is an expert on everything and yet we all have valuable expertise and experience to share. The result is a dynamic, unpredictable fun experience of problem-solving, sharing and networking among expert professionals. As you will see by our video it is a very special day that literally every working pro gets value from. Here are some of the Special Features you can expect at our 2012 MediaProCamp on June 9th:
Adobe’s Colin Smith will again join MCA-i's MediaProCamp (the event is FREE, thanks to Panasonic) explaining the ins and outs of Adobe CS6, Adobe's hot new post-production creative suite. Smith, who kept a room full of media pros enrapt at last year's MediaProCamp, is a best-selling author, trainer, and award-winning new-media designer, has a lot of knowledge to offer. Colin is also founder of the world’s most popular Photoshop resource site, www.PhotoshopCAFE.com which boasts over three million visitors. But that's not all--He'll be raffling off a free copy of the software, a retail value of close to $2,000.

When the Walt Disney Company and Marvel Entertainment produced the mega-hit, “The Avengers,” they spent a fortune bringing the action and adventure to audiences around the world. Without careful consideration a small but important part of that audience might have been have been left out – those who are visually impaired. However, Disney elected to add “Audio Description” to the movie – which allows those attending the film to hear a complete description of all the action on the screen. To accomplish this, Disney tapped the voice-over services of MCA-i member “Travis”.
