August 27 meeting cancelled;
September 24 meeting with MARK SPENCER

This is a Good News, Bad News announcement.

BAD NEWS: Tomorrow night's scheduled AUGUST 27 meeting of MacFilmmakers unfortunately needs to be CANCELLED. I have come down with either the flu or a really, really severe cold (can't tell yet, but I am totally bummed out 'cuz I had essentially what started out as these same symptoms only a few months ago, ick) and Mark Calice is out of town. Since our current arrangement requires ONE of us co-hosts to be present to facilitate we will have to postpone our August meeting. That's the bad news.

GOOD NEWS: For the SEPTEMBER 24 meeting, we have MARK SPENCER coming in to present Apple's Motion, part of Final Cut Studio. Mark is THE GUY when it comes to understanding and training Motion as he is the author of several books including three on Motion itself! Additional info will be added to the blog much later, but know for now that September 24 is a GO with Mark Spencer in Apple's "Garage I" room at 7:00 pm.

To whet your appetite for the September meeting (and to be a tiny ersatz substitute for tomorrow night's lack of a meeting), here is a link to a short podcast (with a curiously long musical intro) from last Fall that features Mark discussing Motion with DMN's David Basulto:
