Interview with Adobe at NAB 2013

Over $14,000 in prizes, catered food and and awesome program! Wrap up, and come out out and network to change YOUR life!

Jason Cox has enjoyed capturing images since receiving his first Mickey-Matic film camera when he was four years old. Growing up in the Washington, D.C. area, he spent much of his youth wandering around with some form of a camera, still or video, in hand.

Jason graduated from Penn State with degrees in film production and English. After spending a couple years as an entertainment journalist for a newspaper, Jason returned to D.C. to strike out on his own, eventually starting up his own LLC, Some Might Say Media. He currently juggles a mixed workload of freelance video production and editing as well as teaching courses as a certified trainer for both Apple and Adobe software. His first book, The Final Cut Pro X Cookbook will be released by Packt Publishing in October.

Outside of his working life, Jason enjoys traveling (he met his Scottish wife in New Zealand – long story!), playing old school Nintendo games, going to music and cultural events, and drinking chocolate milk.

This month, we are back at our roots, Future Media Concepts, so invite your colleagues to come out for a night of pizza/soda and knowledge sharing as Jason Cox dives into the “choosing the right tool for your next editing/post job!”

Their commitment to the industry is undeniable and here with this document the continue to demonstrate their commitment to the education of the masses and insuring it’s not just about selling a piece of software.
