Nice job Film Festival participants.  Successful show.  There were some good films and a great crowd.  Proud of all the work you put in.  Some of you went above and beyond and that is what makes our program so good. Special thanks to the students who helped out at the show:  Kevin M., Cameron H., Malorie L., Haylee O., Alex D.   Couldn't have done the show without you.

*My apologies for videos that didn't run due to time constaints or technical problems...we were limited on time and things were very chaotic before show time which didn't allow us to get all the videos shown during the preview time.

*CTE Video - Amber & Colton...needs to be done by Wednesday at latest.   Push hard on photos you need and information to be shared to highlight things accomplished by each pathway which you will briefly describe with text graphics.

*Let's be sure all of festival pieces are backed up to server and labeled properly.  I'll go over this with you.

*Nikko is going to come by to finish making the DVD for us sometime this week.  Big thank you to Nikko and Kyle O. for helping us with the film festival.  Would not have pulled it together without their help.

*SPORTS FILMERS - COULD BE OUR LAST WEEK TO GET SHOTS FOR SOME SPORTS...HAVE TO GET PEOPLE OUT THERE.  THOSE OF YOU NOT TOO INVOLVED IN FILM FESTIVAL NEED TO STEP UP.  YOUR GRADE WILL DEPEND ON IT.

*Test on Final Cut Tomorrow.  Individuals will work independently on test.  No partners.

1. Prepare for the -

*Final Cut Pro Test - Going to have several tests on Final Cut Pro. Expecting everyone to know some basic information. First test you will need to know the following - see link.

Not working on a video project right at the moment?   See below.

*If you are not being asked to something specific for me, I would like you to look at this Photoshop Tutorial.  There are several projects such as South Park Characters, Blending Projects, etc. you can work through to enhance your Photoshop skills.  Photoshop is an integral tool in our video production projects so it is worth the time.  Save your practice projects in an appropriately named folder on your computer and I will check them tomorrow and/or Wednesday to give you credit
