Video University
Introduction and Site Overview
WELCOME!
Whether you're a veteran of the film and video business or you're just starting out, you've come to the right place.
In the VU Free Library you'll find in-depth articles, handbooks, guides and helpful resources - all about video and film production. Many experts from around the world contributed these fine articles and resources.
The web is about content, but more importantly, it's about people and community. In our 17 forums
(two of which are visible only to members) you'll meet many smart pros who gladly share their knowledge and help others. I've made lots of great friends through these forums and I hope you will too. With nearly 400,000 indexed messages and a great search feature, you can learn a lot about video here. See the Google Friendly Forum Link
We've been getting some good press lately.
PC Magazine Online just recommended us as one of the two most valuable video sites.
We were recently recommended by a Brazilian publication as well as a French
Video Magazine. And an NAB manager calls us "a very impressive resource."
Forbes Magazine  awarded VideoUniversity as one of the best business to business sites for digital video production. They especially liked our Free Library and Community Forums.
Videography Magazine honored us as their web site of the month and
later wrote a feature article about our site in which Jon Leland said "(Video University) delivers value,
and that's what builds repeat customers and referrals." Thank you, Jon!. While this web site is a business, it's always been my goal to make it much more than that.
Below is a form you can use to request our print catalog. We don't share this mailing list with ANYONE so
you don't have to worry about getting unsolicted junk mail.
Your input, support and expertise have made this site what it is. I hope you'll continue to send your comments and suggestions to let me know what kinds of information and tools would be most useful to you in the ever changing world of video.
Sincerely,
Hal Landen
Dean of Video University
