See you there… invite your colleagues!

Rodney – DCFCPUG Leader

Due to Autodesk availability of their top talent, and my desire to bring the best to the DC metro area, we are adjusting the “Smoke on a Mac” meeting to another month. Tentatively, that new date will be 10 August.
Once I close on the swap, check the EVENT calendar in the LEFT sidebar on this page for the most current updates for our May event.

I have contacted our August speaker to consider swapping dates, so stay tuned…

Respectfully,

Rodney Mitchell
President and Apple Ambassador
DC Final Cut Pro User Group (DCFCPUG)

P.S: Don’t forget to read the SUPERMAG… we are in it this year!!!

On the 16th March 2010, we invited Robbie Carman as our featured speaker. Robbie is a colorist and noted author. He also is a trainer at NAB conducting 14 sessions at the 2010 National Associations of Broadcasters (NAB) in Las Vegas next month.  Our members turned out in record numbers and enjoyed the detailed color grading session with Robbie.

While Richard Harrington was unable to make it, Robbie did an excellent job of teaching our members the secrets to color grading and provided a level of understanding that is much appreciated.


Here are a few photos to encourage the other DC/VA/MD interested parties to come on out and become part of a growing group of DC metro area professionals interested in networking, learning something new, and having fun winning awesome sponsor prizes via our DC Winner’s Circle raffle.


Given that I have a heavy travel schedule for April and three projects in work (Las Vegas: SUPERMEET, Digital Production Buzz production team and Dupont Registry luxury car filming event in Miami), the next meeting is scheduled for May. See our event calendar for details. Watch this website for upcoming announcements on future meetings.  If you have comments on the March event, please post your feedback on this post for others to see and appreciate the value they bring to the group.

Full house of eager DCFCPUG members

Richard Harrington has asked to reschedule his appearance at the DCFCPUG, however, Robbie Carman, the co-author of the “Video Made on a Mac” book will remain our featured speaker for the evening. Both guys are dynamic and knowledgeable experts so bring all your color questions and FCP questions to stump our expert for the night.

Thanks for supporting us and our speaker series.
Robbie: Thanks for backing up your partner and supporting DCFCPUG

With vendors in town and editors in a tizzy over the soon-arriving Final Cut Studio World Tour, it seemed like the perfect opportunity to have a meeting.

Here are the details:

There is no cost to attend this event! Please RSVP by email, as seating may be limited. Also, please register to become a member of the DCFCPUG. It’s free and easy!

We will endeavor to keep you informed of meeting developments, including which vendors have agreed to attend. The more RSVPs we get, the better leverage we may have to get more vendors (and maybe even some freebies).

So, please spread the word, and we hope to see you there!

The District of Columbia Final Cut Pro User Group has launched a re-designed site, which we will build out over the next few weeks. Our goal is to be worthy of attending the Final Cut Studio tour when it comes to town on June 3rd.

So check back often. In the meantime, please register as a user group member. Welcome!
