Public Eye just joined up!

The talented people at Public Eye (JD and Margaret) just joined our group! A bit of background here. My first production job was at WMBB 13, the ABC station in Panama City. JD and Margaret both worked at CH 13 and though I did not get the chance to spend much time under Margaret's wing because she moved to bigger and better things, JD was there and I remember watching the fantastic work he did with After Effects and he was always so gracious to share some tips and tricks with me! I'm really excited that they joined up because they bring a lot of experience and quality production to the group!

THANKS FOR JOINING PUBLIC EYE!

WMBB is in the house!

Josh Combs just joined the group! He's the creative services director at WMBB. We look forward to seeing you!

First class May 21st will be Photoshop!

I'll have more information on our first training session later but for now I'll just let everyone know that it will cover Photoshop. Most every member of the group uses Photoshop, whether you are a video professional, graphic artist, or web designer, all of us need it.

We will have a beginners Photoshop class for any member wanting to refresh. Mind you, this beginning class will be a real quick 30 minute intro. Arrive by 6pm for the refresher. 7pm is the time the official meeting kicks off!

More details to come later!

Our first media mogul meeting!

Our first meeting will be Tuesday, May 21st at 7pm. Meetings there after will be held every 3rd Tuesday of the month. We'll be meeting at 439b Grace Ave which is right downtown across from where Hunts Oyster Bar closed down and a stone's throw from The Bagel Maker. I'll post the class that will be held on Tuesday once I finalize the trainers.

Genya Garrett with Vue Photography just joined the group! Actually, she is Sarah Powers Media's office-mate and is sharing her space with us as well! She rocks on Photoshop so is a great addition to the group!

More members, Yippee!!!

We were getting many interested video members, but now we just tacked on Guy Ivie and Teresa Hood who put out a civil engineering magazine for the Air Force. So we have some print design and layout gurus! Also from the contractor side is Jim Monhollon, he is another video guy, but kicks my butt with years experience! He also just went to NAB this year and I'm sure can let us know some cool technology or tips he picked up!

Thanks for joining Jim, Guy, and Teresa!!!

Our newest members!

Tamie from BTV just joined up along with Joanna from Diva Productions! As you can see, there is plenty of talent and experience in the area and we can all learn great skills and tips from one another! This is just a quick snippet from Tamie's email about what she can offer to the group!

"I would love to learn more about graphics, web design, pretty much all of the aforementioned services from your webpage. You pretty much know my skills, I can light products, people, sets, indoor outdoor etc...cs3 editor, some HD shooting and editing still working on that one. Linear and non-linear editing. Interviews, write short scripts. Direct."

Media Mogul Group

I finally moved into a studio space in March and am going to do something I've wanted to do for a long time! A multimedia user group here in the panhandle. Of course, there are marketing groups all over, but nothing for the grunts that actually DO the production!

For anyone with any interest joining, I am going to host a once a month meeting in my studio in downtown, Panama City. We'll see how this goes, maybe we can have more meetings! For now, before I schedule a meeting, join up if you would like to attend!

The more "members" that join, the more resources I can get for everyone to enjoy! My friend Jason Pippen started a Macromedia User Group a few years back but locations were hard to come by and they were pretty noisy so it never really took off unfortunately.

To join, just send me an email at sarah@sarahpowersmedia.com. In the subject place Media Mogul User Group because I do receive TONS of spam. Additional info that would be helpful would be your interests and skills. For example, do you just want to learn about video mainly, web design, or graphics? Maybe you are interested in all of the above. By giving your skills, the group may also be able to take advantage of your expertise as well!

My studio is a big enough space to house a decent amount of people I believe. I also have a green screen, lights, video cameras, Adobe CS 3 suite, Final Cut Studio 6, and a projector if we need it.

Have a wonderful day everyone!!!

Sarah
