9:00PM - 9:30PM - Uncompressed HD
workflow in FCP - Christian White
Christian
White (director/editor) long considered a pariah of the famed
"Avid Master Editor list" for his constant endorsing
of Final Cut to solve problems and "get the job done"
will explain why now more than ever, Final Cut comes through
- and in a HUGE way with uncompressed HD! Utilizing the award
winning feature film,
"Girl Play" (shot on HD & Super 16mm) as an
example, Christian will explain the exciting route he took with
final cut pro - from it's first dv res cut to the final uncompressed
HD online with complex effects sequences. Warning: be prepared
for a lively talk, Christian will integrate the creative process
of editing with strange occurences of the universe to get the
points across!

of Paparazzo" Daniel Foster - Show and Tell
An 8 minute short titled The Shaman Paparazzo, shot in Thailand,

The teaser:
A skilled stealer of souls, he's locked an ineffable world into
his collection box. The world, however, has been doing its own
searching. What it wants from him is simply, achingly beautiful.

- Don Dunham - Show and Tell
Don Dunham will be showing an
8 minute trailer from the 24 minute children's film "Mamochka,
