Next Meeting is Wed. May 28, De Anza 3, 7PM

Our next meeting is Wednesday, May 28, 7:00 pm, in Apple's De Anza 3 Auditorium. Apologies for this extreme last minute update but we quite unexpectedly lost our long-planned speaker and were scrambling to recover. Fortunately, Sabrina Nelson, who you will remember from our previous April meeting, has graciously agreed to speak again, following up on her very well-received presentation from last month. Thank you, Sabrina!

Indeed, we will continue on right from where we left off with "Editing 101, Part Two: Critiquing". Sabrina will bring in several samples of her students' work which we will view and then discuss from the perspective of successful editing. Following the student work, we will then view your Demo Reels (up to 5 minutes in length) and again participate in a group critique. For this special demo reels/critiquing session, please show work that is narrative or documentary in content, i.e., storytelling, not experimental/slideshow type of work. In particular, if we did not have time to view/discuss your project last meeting, or if you've since updated a piece we did critique last session and you would like to show your new edits, please DO bring in those demos!

We will follow this instructional/group particpation session with our as-always Fabulous Pizza Break. For those who are new to MacFilmmakers, we provide free pizza and soft drinks for everybody (completely optional donations cheerfully accepted!) and tonight, as a thank you for your loyal patience in getting this late notice, cookies from San Francisco's world-famous Hot Cookies will also be provided! The pizza/soda/cookies Pizza Break will cap off our meeting.

As always, our meeting is free and open to the public. Parking is plentiful and free as well. Note that the De Anza Three auditorium is at Apple's headquarters in Cupertino and is the room we have been using for our last few meetings. If you are uncertain about the location, simply go to maps.google.com and search for:

10500 N de Anza Blvd, Cupertino, CA 95014

The green arrow indicates the building where we will be; DA3 auditorium (and parking) is on the backside of that building.
