Highly recommended for all animators in the region by our very own DCFCPUG member and Animation executive – Charlotte Rinderknecht, President and Exec producer of Studio Kinate, LLC in Fairfax, Virginia!

This is a not to miss event at the Hotel Palomar in Washington, DC.

Charlotte is a rising star in the area! She is being interviewed by the Washington Post in a few days and she is planning a big premier soon. Stay tuned for that big day as we wish her much success in her endeavors!

Stay tuned for more on this production … it was a blast!

Chuck is definitive one of the Who’s Who in Rock and Roll… and a tree conservationist to boot!

As mentioned in our last DC Final Cut Pro User Group meeting in September, I was asked by Jennifer of National Geographic to post upcoming activities with the example being the SRO concert series Mike Greenberg and I are working on the 15th of October 2009. So, here it is:

A collaboration with Konspiracy Studios and Treadmillproductions

SRO Concert Series Link

The Venue: O Street Museum Foundation

Talent: Chuck Leavell, Keyboardist for THE ROLLING STONES

The Story: Great Talent. Magical Venue

Washington’s best kept secret is also the most intimate, personal and exclusive venue to experience some of the most talented artists in the industry.  Offering a wide range of genres from jazz, blues, rock, gospel and country, to swing, R&B, pop, and indie, the SRO concert series hosts the most prolific performers and songwriters around.

Wish us luck as we put what we learn to work!
