Certification Workshops - Two-day day-long workshops including instruction and exams give professionals the opportunity to earn manufacturer-authorized certification in Apple Final Cut Pro 6 Level 1 (Oct 22-23), and Apple Motion 3 (Oct 24-25).
Conferences/Workshops are purchased separately and all sessions are taught by elite, manufacturer-authorized instructors and experienced industry pros. To inspire attendees, the event features keynote presentations by top film editors who will show clips from their work to illustrate discussions of creative decision-making and craft. Jay Rabinowitz, ACE award-nominated editor who edited Broken Flowers, 8 Mile and the fall-releasing I'm Not There; Christopher Tellefsen, ACE award-nominated editor of Man on the Moon, Capote and the fall-releasing Yellow Handkerchief, and James Thomas, editor of the blockbuster film Borat and Da Ali G Show are the event's featured speakers, with their keynotes open to attendees of any Post|Production conference or workshop.
Ben Kozuch, FMC co-founder and conference chair, said, "Not every professional can make it out to NAB in Vegas, so we bring the training to the heart of the East Coast creative community. With new releases from Apple and Adobe the demand for training is higher than ever, as content creators look to build out their skills in new areas. We keep this event focused - there's no fluff and no sales pitch - just skills, creative tips, and efficiency techniques that hands-on pros can bring to their next projects."
The NY Post|Production Conference, now in its third year, draws attendees from organizations including MTV, NBC, ABC, Sony, ESPN, HBO, Time Warner, NFL Films and many other entertainment companies. The event will be held at the AMC movie theater complex on 34th Street in New York, New York.
