I am pleased to announce the addition of CINEMEK to the DC Final Cut Pro User Group family of sponsors. Last year, our members expressed an interest in using the storyboard composer. Stacy even bought it and swore by it’s utility in the field.

Storyboard Composer is the worlds first and only mobile story boarding application. Utilizing the iphone’s multi-touch capabilities it allows you to get your ideas out of your head and onto paper in a fast and efficient way. Stop scribbling and start shooting.

You will have your chance to participate in our DCFCPUG Winner’s Circle raffle to win a copy!

We will also be evaluating their cool, G35 Lens Adapter System with CINEmulsion. The Cinemek G35 is a step forward in lens adapter technology. It utilizes a focusing screen with a focusing structure so fine it cannot be resolved by an HD imaging sensor. This allows for a extremely durable next generation lens adapter. No need to turn it on or worry about it breaking down as it is completely sealed and hassle free. find out more about the G35 and how it can change the way you shoot.

Just released… he did a combo since he was swamped… Enjoy the newsletter!
