Meeting: March 11, 7PM, Garage I (Postponed from February 25)
Let's do the Time Warp again...
OK. So, our postponed meeting IS happening. Also, the agenda has been updated to include a NEW PRESENTATION. See below:
Yes, we ARE meeting this Wednesday evening, March 11, at 7:00 pm, in Apple's Garage I meeting room.
Agenda:
• DVD Duplication vs. Replication: What You Don't Know...
• Blu-ray Duplication vs. Replication: The Good, the Bad & the Ugly
• Fabulous Pizza Break, now with COOKIES!
• Demo Reels
• Inside Cinequest and EXIT Stage Left: Real World Social Media Networking
• Social Media Networking 101: How Do I Start?
Back by popular demand! Mark Calice will present a follow-up to his earlier presentation, "DVD Duplication vs. Replication: What You Don't Know...". Mark's original delivery on this topic was so well-received that, due to everybody getting involved in the discussion, we actually had to cut the presentation short! Tonight, we have set aside enough time to fit it all in.
On top of that, Mark will also include updated and expanded Blu-ray information, including all that is currently known in "Blu-ray Duplication vs. Replication: The Good, the Bad & the Ugly". It's like getting two presentations in one...well...'cuz it is two presentations in one!
Mark's presentation is structured as an informational Q&A session, so your questions and participation are definitely encouraged.
Following Mark's preso will be our Fabulous Pizza Break. Once again filling the tummies of Bay Area filmmakers with really good pizza and a variety of soft drinks, the Pizza Break is, as always, free with your unpaid admission!
And tonight, as a thank you for your understanding and patience about the postponement, we will also have cookies from San Francisco's world famous Hot Cookie!
Next up will be your Demo Reels. Use our stunning 1080p DLP projection system (complete with Blu-ray player) to show us a work-in-progress, sample clips or a complete short, but please keep the total running time to under 5 minutes. Check in early with your demo reel as timeslots tonight will be limited.
After that will be "Inside Cinequest and EXIT Stage Left: Real World Social Media Networking". Sinohui Hinojosa of Emerging Artist Productions has been a busy, busy guy. I mean...BUSY! Just wrapping up his round-the-clock coverage of Cinequest filmmakers and celebrities with Inside Cinequest, and previously having produced an ongoing web series titled EXIT Stage Left, Sinohui is a perfect example of a real-world social media networking success story. Tonight we will hear how this all came to be and also see samples of these productions.
Rounding out the evening, Kevin Johnson will present a mini-talk about "Social Media Networking 101: How Do I Start?". So, now you are all jazzed from the previous presentation about social media networking. But, how do you start? And what are the sites/tools you should consider...Facebook? MySpace? LinkedIn? Twitter? Blogspot? How do they compare? What are the privacy issues and how can you minimize any such dangers? Kevin will give a short introduction/comparison to these and related social media networking sites/tools, laying out the basics you want to know.
And, if it just so happens you already are using such sites, please feel free to jump into the conversation with your own experiences or opinions, both pro and con. It's 2009, folks--just having your own website may no longer be enough. (And, no, you do not need to be a 20-something "kid" to benefit...)
Doors open at 6:30. Meetings are free and open to the public. Parking is plentiful and free.
Reminder: Garage I is upstairs in Apple's Building 4 (same location as Town Hall) at 1 Infinite Loop in Cupertino.
