 OUR SEPTEMBER 29th
meeting will feature

$3700 worth of door prizes and:

 

Color Correction (part 2) with Jason Broussard.
This is part 2 of our in-depth look at the All-Powerful Color Correction tools within FCP. Create natural or stylized looks and anything in-between. Isolate certain elements of the image, and manipulate only what you want. Make shadows of a scene darker without darkening the entire image; change a dingy sky to bright blue color. Create the look from the film, "Pleasantville", where the entire image is black and white except for one colored object in the frame.
 

GarageBand with Shawn Bockoven.
Shawn
designed, built, manages, and engineers at the educational television station METV/KMET. Shawn will show us how GarageBand turns your Mac into a recording studio with beat loops and synthesized or recorded instruments. Bring out the best in your video soundtrack by enhancing timing and tuning, adding effects like compression, reverb, EQ, Chorus, and other filters. Shawn will show us how to round trip, make beautiful soundtracks, edit for pace, or add foley.
