Get out of the house and into lafcpug!

Wednesday, Febuary 24, 2010

It will be the lafcpug debut of Smoke on Mac OSX where Smoke Guru Barry Goch will take us on a tour of the brand new high end finishing system now on the Mac. You REALLY need to see this.

Also FCS Guru Larry Jordan returns to lafcpug to show us how to "configure your system to minimize problems." Larry will also show and tell on "Nesting," when to use it, and when to avoid it and how to use properly when you can't avoid it.

Comic filmmaker Mitchell Rose, and winner of 49 festival awards, returns with two new shorts: Advance, a dance-film made with BodyVox Dance Company (with whom he made the previously LAFCPUG-screened Modern Daydreams and Case Studies from the Groat Center for Sleep Disorders); and A World Without Numbers, a green screen/Motion project that he wrote when he was nine.

Editor, author and teacher Norman Hollyn returns to lafcpug and we get creative. Norman will show us how to use music to shape our project.

Plus, we will do another round of Stump the Gurus, and of course, World Famous raffle.

lafcpug generally meets every 4th Wednesday of the Month
