Whew! What a week it was last week… Last Wednesday, I brought pal and photog instructor guru Zack Arias into my studio for another episiode of chasejarvisLIVE. We chatted photography for 2 hours and took questions from the live Twitter audience via #cjlive. Was a blast. While about 20,000 of you caught the interview LIVE–it seemed like I got at least that many tweets/emails/fbook requests to post it again here on the blog, so… As you wish. Here ’tis.
From there, we shipped Zack and his crew into our creativeLIVE studio where he put on one heckuva studio lighting course all day Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Hopefully you saw the interwebs booming, especially with the @creativeLIVE and #askzack tags. I’m pretty sure Zack swiped some ratings from the World Cup. Or at least we had fun trying. I wanted to give a huge shoutout to Zack and his team for an amazing effort. You guys and gals nailed it. Also a shoutout also to all the manufacturers that kicked in gear for Zack to give away, as well as uber thanks to B&H Photo Video for their support of the creativeLIVE studio and G-Technology for keeping our gobs and gobs of data safe. They support us, please support them. I hope lots of you tuned in. And if you didn’t but wished you had, the course is available for download here.
While I’ve got you, I wanted to ask for your feedback. Not somebody else’s…YOURS. In the comments below, we’re looking to find out a few things with the goal of making creativeLIVE the best it can be. Tell us whatever you want, but please help us by answering some or all of the following particulars about our LIVE, free, worldwide creative education platform:
1. What makes the creativeLIVE approach different, better, worse? How does our class format compare to others?
2. Where do you live? We want to understand the breadth of our audience with the comments on this post. Where are you from, and when are you watching the LIVE feed?
3. Does this live worldwide format really work? This is the important part. What does the experience feel like to you? Can you help describe this format to someone who’s never seen it?
Thanks for taking the time! If you’re new here, I invite you to subscribe/follow via links above and to the right. Lots more stuff heading your way soon on all our channels…
Chase,
thank You SO much for sharing Your and Your friends’/colleagues’ experience. Found it most helpful, inspiring.
1. What makes the creativeLIVE approach different, better, worse? How does our class format compare to others?
Haven’t attended it LIVE yet, but certainly will try. I guess the real life touch, present happening works good, most important still are the good teachers. Internet is really a great thing! Maybe not possible to attend it all time, interested in downloading some material later, in our economy (see below) it is a bit expensive, but trying to save some money 🙂
2. Where do you live? We want to understand the breadth of our audience with the comments on this post. Where are you from, and when are you watching the LIVE feed?
Living in Estonia, the other half of the world 🙂 It is a small country near Finland, widely known to set itself free from Soviet Union with collective singing (You may check the galleries of our last year’s National Song & Dance Festival at my website). Being so far away it is really an important opportunity for me to share the thoughts and experience of the pros in US.
3. Does this live worldwide format really work? This is the important part. What does the experience feel like to you? Can you help describe this format to someone who’s never seen it?
As said, till now I’ve watched the information saved later, but will check out the Live when possible. So thank You very much for saving these interviews also for later viewers. As living in totally different timezone, it helps a lot.
A Big thanks to the whole team who put CreativeLive together .
Having looked at zack 3 days workshop, I have been thrilled by the amount of information distilled in 3 days, an approach which is really different from the on-hour webinar which are distilled over the web , or the one-day “real ” workshops .
The fact that the webinar can be purchased and replayed over and over to grasp all info is also a real plus.
I am located in Continanetal Europe, Brussels, Belgium
The live format is OK, the downloads are a real plus as the schedules are not always optimal, nor can someone be available at ease for 3 days .
Again, all the best to the team;

I was wondering where I can find the famous 9 minute video zack made in his studio? I searched all over youtube but I couldn’t find it…..what is its name?
Hey guys,
Recently my husband and I started Twittering. A little late I know, but I decided…hey, I can follow people that talk about gear EVERY DAY! Awesome!
It started after we got obsessed with buy a 5D, and I was looking for info. I listened in on a seminar by RHedPixel Richard Harrington, and from him to GoForJared…to who knows….to you.
It has been a really important find for us. I am an LA based reality Camera Operator that has moved to Cairo to get married and start a family with my Producer husband. His family has been in the film business for 30 years organizing foreign crews in Egypt. Now…we have our own dream. And your video about managing data, tips and tricks, and general inspiration from Photogs like Zach Arias has been helping me organize my thoughts about where we can take our part of the biz. It has been great inspiration.
Zack speaks about big fish in little ponds…and Egypt is a place where there is so much room for growth.
Anyway, I hope if you guys come to shoot in Egypt you will look us up to help fix your shoot…or if you’d even just like an extra contact here!
Thanks for all of the stuff you’ve created. I look forward to watching more, and participating in a CreativeLive workshops (even if they are in the middle of the night)
Thanks again!
