      This summer during the month of  July we experienced record temperatures & several brush fires in Southern California. It was during this time I received a call from The Mothership — It was Apple's much loved Patty Montesion, "How would you like to help proctor at Chapman College this August?" — trying to contain my excitement & all the while thinking to myself, "You don't have to ask me twice!" — "Sheeya, Patty!" So, off I went to Chapman College to the new Marion Knott Studios located in Orange, California.


      Apple Pro Trainers Steve Martin from Ripple Training, Nate "NateDog" Hubbard-Avid guru extraordinaire & newly converted FCP Trainer from Migrant Editors & Pixel Magic TV (welcome to the gang Nate!)- & I helped Apple's Ann Forst, Jay Matheson & Bill Hanson showcase a few of the Final Cut Studio Pro Apps, like Motion, DVD Studio Pro, Soundtrack Pro & Final Cut Pro's Multicam Editing.


      By the way things looked buzzing about that week in & around Marion Knott Studios I can say with certainty that they will be giving the Hollywood crew just West of them a run for their money & will be a force to be reckon with in the very near future.


      Please enjoy the following report & images from our trip to the 50th Annual University Film & Video Association (UFVA) Conference at the very new Marion Knott Studios
