Here’s another picture post to show you what I’ve been doing this week.
The Lynda campus is located between Santa Barbara and Ventura, California. It’s right near the ocean, just off the Pacific Coast Highway. Because my regular hotel (in Ventura) was booked, I stayed in Carpinteria, which is the small hamlet in which the campus sits.
The “studios” are converted office park buildings. They did a great job sound-proofing the rooms and taking what may have been a warehouse or cafe and turning it into the most sophisticated video recording studio north of Hollywood.
The gallery attached covers my activities this week, where I recorded on Monday and Tuesday. I finished early, getting all the live action done on Monday and early Tuesday. Audio recording too place Tuesday before and after lunch.

It was a wonderful experience, as it always has been working with the excellent folks at Lynda and LinkedIn. I’ll report later when the course becomes public, linking to a teaser video and providing other fun info.
