7:20PM - 7:30PM - Announcements (if time available)
This is a chance to get up and ask for a job, offer job opportunities, announce your film or service, or tell a bad joke. lafcpug will also have a few announcements on its future.
7:30PM - 7:55PM - “Syndication editing - Larry Garb.
From Larry:
"What I would like to present and discuss is what is syndication editing and what is required to get the movie or show to television. The type of work I do is to take theatrical versions of movies and get them ready for Television. I have to edit out all standard and practices issues (S&P) such as language, nudity and product placement. After I have completed the S&P edit, I then may be required to take out additional time to get the movie to the proper run time for the time slot for Television. I do the same for TV shows. I would like to show 2 clips of the movie "The Antwone Fisher story" one clip would be the theatrical version of the movie and the 2nd clip would be an edited version of the movie. I would also like to discuss how I went about editing the clip and what is required to do a syndication edit. The company I work for is Visual Data Media Services and I'm the senior editor."
8:00PM - 8:30PM - Zack Arnold.
Zack will first discuss the unorthodox career path he took to become an editor on Burn Notice on how it can apply to any aspiring editors or assistants. He will then dissect some of the more complicated "box sequences" used in Burn Notice. It will not be a hands-on tutorial showing a step-by-step "how to" process. Rather, he will discuss his creative approach to the complex voice-over heavy sequences with multiple moving split-screens, show some raw footage, and explain how the sequences get from script to the final product.
About Zack Arnold:
Zack Arnold is currently an editor for the show Burn Notice on USA Network. His background also includes editing feature films, web series, theatrical trailers, documentaries, and other various promotional materials. He doesn't believe success in the film industry has anything to do with "Who you know." He grew up in a diary farming community of 291 people in Northern Wisconsin and drove out to Los Angeles knowing exactly zero people in the film industry. Most editors get where they are by slowly climbing the ladder until someone steps in and says "It's your turn now." Zack chose a slightly different path - Craigslist, Facebook, and starting his own company, Fix It In Post.
Zack began his career as an assistant editor for an independent trailer company, but within a few months he realized the way he wanted to become an editor...was to edit. He started taking freelance editing jobs nights and weekends and used them to leverage a position as trailer editor, later working on the theatrical trailers for The Passion of the Christ, Monster, The Machinist, Stander, The Woodsman, and he won a Golden Trailer Award in 2004 for Northfork in the Golden Fleece category - Best Trailer, Worst Movie.
Shortly after, Zack realized if he wanted to edit narrative material, the only way to do so...was to edit narrative material. So he took an additional full time job editing an independent feature, Phat Girlz, which was later purchased by Fox Searchlight for $4.75 million dollars. He then left the trailer industry and started his own post-production company, Fix It In Post. He edited (or was an additional) for several independent features as well as projects for Warner Premiere, Magnolia Pictures, and Walt Disney Pictures. While in between longer projects he continued to edit trailers and marketing materials, also serving as creative director, working on such films as Live Free or Die Hard, Dreamgirls, The Departed, Terminator: Salvation, Up, The Princess and the Frog, Disney's A Christmas Carol, Punisher: War Zone, and The Soloist.
His big break came when he found two independent filmmakers on Craigslist who had an idea for what would later become the most successful dramatic web series to-date, The Bannen Way for Sony Pictures Entertainment. Zack edited the feature film (with co-editor Waldemar Centeno), he cut the webisodes, and he edited the trailer. He won a Streamy Award for Best Editing, and the trailer won two Telly Awards for Best Internet Trailer and Best Editing. Knowing his window of time was limited to leverage his success from The Bannen Way, and knowing the style was similar to one of his favorite tv shows (Burn Notice), Zack Facebook-stalked every member of the crew he could find until they finally gave up and hired him.
Zack is currently raising funds for a documentary he is producing and directing, GO FAR: The Christopher Rush Story . He can be followed on Twitter as @BurnEditor.
8:35PM - 8:55PM - Break

The break is a chance to hang out and meet and greet and get your problems solved and who knows, get a job. You never know who you are going to meet at lafcpug. Snacks and Beer and Wine will be on sale in the lobby. Proceeds go to the Gallery Theater.
9:00PM - 9:40PM - "The Role of the Assistant Editor" - Fabienne Bouville and David Dean.
Fabienne Bouville returns to lafcpug to discuss the role of the assistant editor on a network TV show, in this case, "Glee."
