 9:25 - 9:40PM
- "PhotoShop techniques to FCP" - Dale Ellis
Apple's Dale Ellis will show us a couple techniques using Photoshop
to create effects and then bring into FCP. From Dale:
"One involves separating and animating elements within a
static photograph to create the illusion of movement. This effect
was used extensively in the
documentary of Producer Robert Evans' life, "The Kid Stays
in the Picture." It's a neat alternative to the Ken Burns
pan-and-scan effect.
The other effect allows you to to create titles or graphics that
you can not only cut out to reveal another layer of video but
to add INSIDE drop shadows to the cutout (something nearly impossible
with FCP alone.)"
 9:40 - 9:50PM
- "True Human as the Hanged Man" - Daniel Foster -Show
