[Avid-L2] [PR] New Avid Media Composer Book + The Bronx Boys Still Playing at 80

RE:

1- New Avid Media Composer/Symphony Editing Book Published.
2- "The Bronx Boys Still Playing at 80" Completed with help from Terry Curran.

Hello all,

Two bits of PR all in one message for you:

[PR-1] --- I'm am pleased to share with you that the Avid Media Composer book I was asked to write for Packt Publishing is finally complete and now available through the publisher's website (and soon through other online retailers like Amazon.com).

I think it will be helpful for Avid editors at all experience levels, using all versions of Media Composer or Symphony (it was completed just before the release of v6.5). The book is the latest addition to Packt's "cookbook" series of step-by-step approach books. However, I worked very hard with the publisher to be able to include lots of background information, examples, tips, and tricks both in the chapters themselves as well as in the 3 appendices. It actually exceeded their page count limit for print, so they made one chapter downloadable for those that purchase the book.

I would also like to thank (I really can't thank them enough) Michael Phillips, Roger Shufflebottom, and Oliver Peters for technically reviewing the book while I was writing it; and there are lots of additional folks thanked at the links below.

[PR-2] --- I'm happy to relate that the Shapiro-West feature documentary "The Bronx Boys Still Playing at 80", which I directed and edited, was recently completed with the help of Avid-L2 guru Terence Curren at AlphaDogs in Burbank. Interest in the film has already been expressed by an Australian distributor (for those territories), and we'll see what develops in terms of broadcasts and festivals over the next year.
