Filmmakers of Salt Lake, Unite!


Well, it’s officially fall in the Salt Lake Valley, and with it brings the falling leaves, a fallen economy, and the fall of my break from blogging. That’s right, I’m back on the blogwagon and with so much news. But before I break into the very long list of what’s been going on, I want to talk about something that’s beneficial to anyone interested in Final Cut Pro or video production for that matter. Travis has been working hard to launch a Final Cut Pro Users Group for Utah. There are already several user groups throughout the nation, mostly in big cities and hubs for the film industry. But with so many opportunities for local filmmakers in Utah, why not break the ice with all our independent film up-and-comers along the Wasatch Front? A Final Cut Pro Users Group basically offers answers, advice and information about new technology, and it allows for more filmmakers (no matter their experience) to collaborate and inspire for some professional growth. Locally, we have a lot of combined education and experience - with this group, we’ll all have the advantage of exchanging our ideas and knowledge about video production. The site will be launched later this week, so you’ll definitely want to sign up and check it out. And don’t forget to find our very own Damian Dayton’s articles about his experience at NAB this last spring and how to become a "Preditor."

If you're interested in getting more information, make sure to sign up for the Final Cut Seminar at TV Specialists this Wednesday, October 1. It's at 10:00 AM and it's free to sign up here.
