FCP Master's Seminar in FX and Advanced Workflow

Hey Gang,
Don't miss my upcoming master's seminar based on my book, "Motion Graphics and Effects in Final Cut Pro". This is 2 days of hardcore training in FX and advanced workflow and includes a copy of my book. Classes are to be held in Seattle, San Francisco, Sacramento, LA and San Diego. Seating is limited. This tour is sponsored by Automatic Duck.

If you are in LA, take note: Seats are filling up quickly for the November 12-13 session. Sign up here directly to guarantee your place!

I can guarantee that you will see FCP in a whole new light after taking my class. These are a collection of the coolest tips and techniques to help you get to "the next level". All of you folks who are "self-trained" really need to take this class. Learn solid techniques that only the pros utilize. Advanced beginners and intermediate users would probably benefit the most here. But even advanced users, ad agency editors, trailer specialists, feature, commercial and doc editors would all benefit from seeing how you can be more creative with FCP. Whatever your level...invest in yourself, take this class!

Train with the best: I've worked at Pixar on "Finding Nemo", wrote manuals for Final Cut Studio at Apple, a veteran FCP instructor with 5 years experience, and author of one of the most popular books about FCP in 2004-2005. And yes, I'm also a working editor and motion graphics professional!

I have included a code in each of the cities I am teaching in for LAFCPUG members. To save $20 off the $499 fee, when you sign up just enter the code: lafcpug. Do you have a group? Email me for discount prices on groups of 3 or more.

Hi Gang,
Although the class was quite small, the LA seminar went well. I do have one more date in Southern California--in San Diego on Dec. 3-4. If you would like to attend or know of someone that does, go here:
