The second NYC DSLR Meetup takes place this Thursday, June 17 at South Street Seaport (Pier 17, Fulton & South Streets, New York, NY 10038). The gist of it: "Anyone shooting video or photo with the Canon 5D Mark II, 7D or T2i are welcome to join and meet throughout NYC on a monthly basis to share ideas, workflow, shoot and showoff their gear." I've got two other events the same night but will definitely hopefully stop by -- it's a good chance to spread the word about the DSLR Guide! Anyone else going? NYC DSLR Meetup »

“You need to become a pro at uncertainty.”
Apr 24, 2024
Erick Sasso is a multi-hyphenate creative and the editor of the film, Maxine's Baby: The Tyler Perry Story, which documents the life of Tyler Perry. Erick compares the making of documentaries to the making of a meal. You need to use the right ingredients…not too much, not too little. And everyone at the table has to enjoy it.

- Making music videos with his friends in high school
- Realizing you can reverse engineer in the edit

- How he landed the editing job on Maxine’s Baby
- What it looks like to fall in love with the subject
