Sorry if you receive this more than once. Please forward to other filmmakers.

Similar emails are going out to filmmakers around the country. Movie Maker Magazine asks Filmmakers to cast their own votes for the best city to make movies.

Vote here: http://www.moviemaker.com/moviecities/ .

Importance: High

Dear Friends:

It's Winter time at MovieMaker Magazine, which means only one thing: Time to count down the best places to be an independent moviemaker!

Each year, MovieMaker Magazine's Winter edition (which is released at Sundance) features our annual ranking of the best places to "live, work and make movies." And this year is no exception—except we're changing up the theme a little this year. In response to the current economic climate and (let's face it) the fact that moviemaking isn't always cheap, this year's survey will focus on the top cities to survive as a moviemaker. It will take into account all the usual criteria—local film scene, quality of life, benefits of shooting in an area, etc.—but pay even closer attention to the financial implications of living in a particular area. Meaning that cost of living, unemployment rates, average salaries, job growth and financial incentives for making a movie will all play an extremely important role.

But in an effort to make the issue a true “Locations Edition,” in addition to the Top 10 Movie Cities, we’ll be discussing what’s happening in all 50 U.S. states.

Already, our researchers are hard at work interviewing film commissioners, location professionals and independent moviemakers from coast to coast. As such, we’re hoping that your office would be able to provide us with some basic statistics on the 2009 moviemaking scene in and your 2010 forecast. Specifically: Projects that have shot in the area, number of production days, financial benefit to the state from film production, recent news regarding tax incentives, etc. What areas continue to be the state’s production hotspots? Which areas are showing a lot of recent growth? Essentially, any information that you think our writers should know about the state of moviemaking—independent in particular—in your state.

As this is still part of our information-gathering process, the information does not need to be pretty—additional interviews will be conducted as we continue to narrow down our list.

Deadline for information is Friday, December 5th. Info can be sent directly to my attention via email for easy dissemination among our writers. Please let me know if you have any questions!

Additionally, we are asking independent moviemakers around the country to cast their own votes for the best cities to make movies. You can spread the word and the URL: http://www.moviemaker.com/moviecities/

Sincerely,
Jennifer

Hi Everyone,

The next CUTS Austin meeting will be October 27th 7 - 9 pm at Mangia Pizza 8012
Mesa Drive with Guest Speaker Final Cut Pro Instructor Sjon Ueckert. Sjon will
be showing us the new Motion 4.
After 18 years as a professional musician, Sjon decided to go to college. He
graduated from the Film School at the University of Texas in 1980, served a term
as the New Mexico Film Commissioner and entered the Feature Film Industry,
starting as a Location Manager and ending up as a First Assistant Director. Then
the editing bug struck.
Sjon has been involved with Final Cut Pro since its inception. As well as
editing many music videos, documentaries and television programs, Sjon is also a
developer for LiveType, designing and scripting Live Fonts. He edited two
feature documentaries in the past three years, "Before the Music Dies," and
"Happiness Is." He is currently editing "Down Zydeco Road."
Some of his work can be seen at
http://www.demoreel.us/sjondemo/Portfolio.html
Sjon is also heavily involved in writing, scoring and performing music. He plays
trumpet, guitar and keyboards.
Hope to see you there!

Subject: Hi from Rita

Hi Cynthia,

I'm not sure if this is the sort of thing you can bring to the CUTS Austin group- but I am looking to replace myself on a small editing gig in Austin because it's been too hard to organize it from Los Angeles.

It's a five minute sample piece for a possible reality show. I've cut 23 hours of footage down to about an hour of selects. The producer will look at that hour and write/record the narration. The the editor would need to work with him to cut together a polished piece. I'll send all the final cut pro project files, tapes and a drive with the captured footage to the editor.

I think the pay will probably be only about 10/hour or so. The Producer is in and out of town a lot so it will probably be a project that gets done in small spurts.

Is it possible to post this to the group or bring it up at a meeting? I'm looking to collect a few resumes and vet them and then pass them along to the Producer as recommendations. What do you think?

Also- how's the group going? I haven't seen in Austin for a few months, but I already miss the queso.

Thanks!

Hi Everyone,
This month we will be checking out the new features in FCP 7 plus the
new JVC GY-HM100u. The HM100 is the first camera to shoot in .mov mode
so you can go straight from the card to the timeline. It's an amazing
little camera.

Please note, for this month only (unless we really like it there) we
will be meeting at the Mangia Pizza at 8012 Mesa Drive.

I hope to see you there,

Hi everyone!

We rescheduled our Final Cut Pro 101 course for this Monday June 15- Wednesday June 17.

We're bringing in a teacher from Dallas and there are a couple of spots left.

Just thought I would pass it on!

Enroll at this link: http://www.austinfilmschool.org/classes/finalcut101.html

This course introduces students to the primary feature set and basic interface of Final Cut Pro. You will learn to perform basic editing functions while familiarizing yourself with the user interface. Topics include basic setup, adjusting and customizing preferences and settings, capturing video and audio, various editing and trimming techniques, ripple, roll, slip and slide tools, audio editing and audio creation, finishing and final output.

Who Should Attend: This class is designed for anyone looking to edit professional-quality video using Final Cut Pro. Understanding of the Macintosh operating system and basic computer navigation is desired. The course is designed for those who prefer hands-on and interactive instruction to best explore the full functionality of Final Cut Pro.

Hey group,

I have a lightly used Blackmagic Design Multibridge Extreme for sale. It needs a
good home.

I have listed this at $800 on other boards, but a special Austin-only,  cash
price of $700 is available.

Have original box with all components (including rack-mounting brackets)

Information from the User manual:
-----
"Multibridge Extreme supports standard and high definition SDI 4:2:2, 4:4:4 and
analog YUV, as well as NTSC/PAL video in and out.

Multibridge Extreme also features 8 channels of AES audio with sample rate
converters on all inputs. For analog audio Multibridge Extreme supports stereo
XLR audio in and out, combined with two channel RCA audio outputs for low cost
HiFi monitoring.

Multibridge Extreme includes built-in dual link DVI-D and HDMI monitoring. With
dual link DVI-D Multibridge Extreme can support 30 inch LCD monitors (such as
the Apple 30 inch Cinema Display) - and this higher resolution display allows
for full resolution 2K digital film editing.

The DVI output also automatically detects HDMI devices when connected via the
included adaptor, ideal for connecting to the latest big screen televisions and
video projectors.

Multibridge Extreme works natively in 4:2:2, RGB 4:4:4 or 2K digital film
resolutions. Also included is true 14 bit analog conversion for high quality
analog video.

When not connected to your computer for editing, Multibridge Extreme works as a
bi-directional video and audio converter.

Compatible with QuickTime™ and DirectShow™, Multibridge Extreme can use a wide
range of video software for video capture and playback in either standard
definition, high definition 4:2:2, high definition 4:4:4 RGB, and even 2K
digital film resolutions.

Multibridge Extreme lets you can customize your system for different tasks
simply by selecting the video software you prefer to use. Use Final Cut Pro
Studio™ on Mac OS X™ or Premiere Pro™ on Windows XP™ for editing, then combine
Adobe After Effects™ and Photoshop™ for broadcast design and paint."
