Join the Los Angeles Post Production Group for our September 12th meeting featuring these two valuable presentations:  

TIPS FOR DELIVERING STELLAR AUDIO WITH RX 6


Each month we are lucky enough to give away a copy of iZotope’s RX 6 to one of our meeting attendees. But even though many of our members are familiar with this powerful program, many still have questions and are curious about how to use this vital audio tool efficiently and effectively.

Join us us as LAPPG founder, author and award winning sound supervisor and re-recording mixer Woody Woodhall, CAS, shows us essential tips for using this game changing software. Woody will discuss its use through his work on one of the recent, award-winning feature films he has sound designed and mixed, LOST FARE, directed by longtime LAPPG member and Hollywood legend Bruce Logan, ASC.

Woodhall will show the restorative power of RX 6 that he employs daily in his post audio work, using some of RX 6’s modules that include: Declick, Ambience Match, Spectral Repair, Insight Metering.

This is a great opportunity for you to better understand how this powerful and essential software can help you deliver stellar sound.

AUGUST MEETING RECAP - IN CASE YOU MISSED IT

Last month we were lucky enough to have two wonderful presenters and a Demogorgon in the house! Jon Chappell, CEO and Founder of Digital Rebellion showed us the impressive new updates to Kollaborate, the cloud platform for video professionals that ingrates directly with your editing software. Plus, he shared many of his other workflow and maintenance tools including: Pro Media Tools, Post Haste, CinePlay and Pro Maintenance Tools. Then, after our networking break we had Special Effects Makeup Artist KC Mussman of Nocturnal Designz sharing her incredible talent and knowledge of the industry in her presentation "VFX and SFX: The Best of Both Worlds", where she explored how the practical and the digital, work together, to create some incredible creatures. KC was generous enough to giveaway a one of her collector's pieces, a Demogorgon mask inspired from "Stranger Things" made for James Franco for his project, "Making a Scene with James Franco." The lucky winner was Steven Silvers who got to go home with a Halloween costume that he'll get some great use out of for years to come!
