Agenda (subject to change)

6:45- 7:15PM - Stump the Gurus
Join Gurus
Monica Daniel, Michael Kammes, Adam Bedford and Jesse Averna as they will attempt to answer all of your questions and solve all of your problems concerning FCS and FCPX, Avid, Premiere Pro and anything else you can think of. If they can't solve your problem or answer your question, then you go home with a problem, but you still got out of the house, so that's not a bad thing.

7:25PM -7:45PM - The JVC GY-LS300 Digital Cinema Camera - Alicia Reed
"
JVC will be showing our new GY-LS300CHU Digital Cinema Camera that has a Super35 sensor and can use film-lenses. The JVC GY-LS300 is unique because for a $3995 price, it can use a variety of lenses (MFT, Canon EF, Nikon, PL, etc.), and can record the native view of the lens using our JVC Variable Scan Mapping technology. It has an easy-to-use and easy-to-set-up form factor that has built in audio and built in recording. It can record in HD or 4K, and it can also stream live SD or HD video to a decoder, switcher, or directly to a website using RTMP. Here is a link to more information about the JVC GY-LS300 camera: http://pro.jvc.com/prof/attributes/features.jsp?model_id=MDL102318.

About Alicia Reed
Alicia Reed has worked with JVC for the last 8 years promoting JVC's popular lines of monitors, blu-ray recorders and cameras. JVC has been a frontrunner in live streaming from camera technology and continues with this new GY-LS300 Digital Cinema Camera.










7:50PM - 8:10PM - "Beauty Box Video" - Jim Tierney
From Jim: I'll be showing off Beauty Box Video 4.0 which adds real time rendering to the best skin retouching plugin available. So I'll be showing off some examples of fast rendering, great looking skin smoothing. I'll be using both Beauty Box's automatic mask and a feature in Premiere Pro that uses Premiere's built in masks to do spot retouching on cheeks and forehead. We've also got some new video plugins coming out, so I'll be doing a sneak peak of those as well.

About Jim Tierney
Jim is the Chief Executive Anarchist at Digital Anarchy. They've been developing software to help video editors and visual effects artists since 2001. Jim has been developing software for video applications since 1995 when he joined MetaTools. Many of the plugins he helped develop there and at Atomic Power are now part of After Effects. When he's not thinking up cool, new solutions for video editors he's in Maui chasing Humpback Whales around and photographing them.






8:10PM - 8:35PM - Art of the Title: Fun Title in the Timeline - John Putch
Filmmaker John Putch shows us how he made a James Bond type title sequence for his latest comedy ROUTE 30 THREE!  using off the shelf plug ins and a timeline in Adobe CC Premiere Pro.  

About John Putch
John Putch is often referred to as an anti Hollywood filmmaker. One of his first indie efforts, "Valerie Flake," landed him at the '99 Sundance Film Festival and was nominated for an Independent Spirit Award.  He followed that hit up with a string of indie movies, including "Pursuit Of Happiness," "Bachelorman," the award-winning "Mojave Phone Booth" and the “Route 30" trilogy of films which were shot in South Central Pennsylvania.  John makes films while other people just talk about making films.
Prior to becoming a filmmaker, John was an accomplished actor who started in the theater, then enjoyed a successful TV and film career before making the switch to directing.




8:35PM - 9:00PM - Break
This is your chance to ask questions. No questions? Then talk to each other. 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 lacpug Snacks and Beer and Wine will be on sale in the lobby. Proceeds go to the Gallery Theater.
