Colossal WIN: behind the scenes @ Otakon 2008

The drama! The mayhem! Our goal was to create a short film in two hours in front of a live audience at Otakon 2008. The filmmaking workshop flew forward at break-neck speed -- there lay at the end of our journey only one thing - WIN, or FAIL.
What resulted is cataloged in this hilarious doc. Thanks to a behind-the-scenes videographer, those crazy two hours are captured for all to see.

Did Brett (or anyone on the team) have "official" training to learn Final Cut? I'm thinking of becoming Adobe cert trained and wondered if it's worth the price.

[PBCProductions]

Nope! Chad was a media arts major in college and honed his Final Cut skills there, and Brett studied under Mr. Williams' fine tutelage over the past year and a half. Both also credit Professor Trial And Error as a major contributor to their skills of an artist.

Was this only shown at Otakon? I was hoping to see the finished product.

[PBCProductions]

Actually the finished film was our video from last week! Look at our videos and click on the one right before this one.

It was only like 60 bucks, but it was totlly worth it. I used to live there so I know where everything is.

Seems like Brett & Chad know what they are doing. Really you all are something!

Too bad about the program crash. At least it made for an interesting anecdote.
