State of play with respect to final BUG

So we are taking a summer break here at final BUG, We will be back in Autumn we more fcp brain storming.

Being more or less the engine here at final BUG, Paul has been rather busy. Not to mention the little trip to Shanghai and the new job and and all that.  Time to let the dust settle. Have a great summer. And if you have any suggestions for contributions etc please feel free to let Paul know. Or if you can help him to move the Blog from Wordpress to something like MovbleType. Wordpress has horrible security issues with worms all over the place!

Thanks to those who enquired about the state of play.

Happy editing and don´t forget to play.

Paul

Further we will be taking a look at the future of digital cinema.

Specifically looking at the RED One and how it fits into the FCS equation.

So if you´re in Berlin on the 10th check out the finalBUG meeting.

And find out why the RED One is taking Hollywood by storm!

At the ADK in Tiergarten, the best address for FCP & Co in Berlin.

Dear final BUG members

Time for the biggest challenge of the final BUG calendar!

This is as near as we get to being a group as such.

We attempt to coordinate a meal together.

The workflow is as follows

1) Check you´re calendar to see what you are doing on the 03.12.08 from 1800 hours onwards.
2) If necessary change / cancel previous appointments to accommodate final BUG dinner.
3) Think about what you would like to cook?
4) Don´t forget that good food usually tastes better with a good bottle of wine!
5) Take a minute to post in the comment section what you are planning on bringing this helps other members of the group plan what to bring.
i.e. helping us avoid the worst case scenario where we have 20 turkeys
6) Even if you can´t make it consider the possibility of writing a comment wishing members a happy christmas and prosperous new year

Many thanks to Matt Lehitka from Die Republik who is providing us with a kitchen and an amazing location.

Pfuelstraße 5, 10997 Berlin 03:12:08 from 1800 hours

going beyond geekery……..
