Uniting Event Filmmakers & Digital Imagers Worldwide
For the first time in history, Zale notes, WEVA EXPO 2011 will be an immersive experience uniting event filmmakers and digital imagers on a global level using LIVE interactive video between speakers, attendees, and sponsors/exhibitors. Presentations will use the cinematic tools of our industry in creating an all-new EXPO program custom-tailored for interactive participation and system-training LIVE Online.
Zale adds, "instead of just texting, attendees can choose LIVE video-chat for networking and sharing clips. Attendees and exhibitors can flip on webcams to meet face-to-face on large-screen TV displays, even meet in video conference-style group chats with all faces LIVE on-screen at once.
During the WEVA EXPO 2011 Conference Sessions, Zale relates, "leading wedding filmmakers and digital imagers from around the world will be sharing a ton of on-location footage and behind-the-scenes B-roll to show new techniques in detail, and HOW they achieve breathtaking creativity.
"Exhibitors will be able to use LIVE video to demonstrate cutting-edge technologies and all-new gear. It’s the first time suppliers, event filmmakers and digital imagers from around the globe will be uniting simultaneously via LIVE online video. The 21st Annual WEVA EXPO will be a 21st century breakthrough for our industry nationally and worldwide."
