Year End Tax Advantages for Video Businesses?

I wanted to throw out the suggestion that it may be to your advantage to consider taking advantage of Casablanca resources before the end of the year.  Of course, your tax professional will provide you with the best information here, but as a suggestion it is possible that the purchase of training materials and/or services might have a positive effect on your 2010 business taxes.

Casablanca Expert 12 Tips for Christmas Returns - Tomorrow!

 

I am pleased to announce that my 2nd Annual 12 Tips for Christmas will launch tomorrow. I began this tradition last year (don't know if you can call only the 2nd year a tradition yet, but I did anyway).  I have produced and will upload and make available a new short video tutorial each day for the 12 Days of Christmas, beginning tomorrow - December 25, 2010.

These streaming video lessons - running between 2-minutes and 4-minutes will cover a variety of Casablanca operations, software and tips to help  my colleagues get the most from their Casablanca video editor.

The collection of Tips will be available for website members on this page: Casablanca Expert 12 Tips for Christmas 2010-2011

 

Also, for member/subscribers at CasablancaExpert.com - last year's 12 Tips for Christmas are available for your review on this page: Casablanca Expert 12 Tips for Christmas 2009-2010.

Looking for Some Useful Lessons to Improve Your Videography?

Vimeo - one of the more popular on-line video hosting websites has just launched a collection of short tutorial videos called Vimeo Video School. 

I was browsing through their collection of videos just this morning and found several that were interesting and useful in just the first few minutes.  You can pick from three different levels or groups: Video 101-Basics for Beginners, DSLR Basics (lessons by industry giant Philip Bloom who shares info and tips for those using HD-DSLR cameras) and Featured Lessons (specific content like time-lapse and creating great family holiday videos).

These new offerings by the Vimeo staff and invited guests comes at a great time for those who have some time off during the Christmas holiday (and perhaps are locked indoors due to inclement weather!).

You will find the collection of these video lesson here: Vimeo Video School
