Crew Call

Thursday, 08 October 2009 17:18 SBFinalCut

Pilgrims 7 Corporation will be filming an independent film, currently entitled "The Son Of An Afghan Farmer" in Santa Barbara and the nearby Santa Ynez valley beginning in early January. They are currently in pre-production with a production office located in downtown Santa Barbara and are now accepting resumes for all crew positions with preference given to locals who have previous experience. They intend to start bringing on some key crew positions (Production Manager, Accountant, Location Manager, and Production Coordinator) starting in mid-October. This is our opportunity to crew up almost an entire production from local crew base and demonstrate that Santa Barbara does in fact have enough crew depth to service producers who would consider setting their entire production here!

Please email all resumes and inquires to: This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it attention Charlie Dibe.

FCP World Announces Blu-ray Templates for Final Cut Studio

Thursday, 08 October 2009 15:35 SBFinalCut

SAN FRANCISCO, CA, October 6, 2009 - FCP World announces its first product for video makers, "Blu-ray Templates for Final Cut Studio" today. This is a new collection of 60 Blu-ray Templates for Final Cut Studio 2009, designed by Kevin Monahan, owner of FCP World and competitively priced at $49.95.
     Monahan explains, "Final Cut Studio 2009 ships with a total of 5 templates. That's not nearly enough! I've designed 60 new templates that give video makers a lot more options for creating a Blu-ray or AVCHD disc. These are fully animated, high-quality looping backgrounds, not just stills. Also, I've designed many of the templates with Motion content, so that users could create, say, a title sequence or lower-third, that could match a particular template."
     The templates work with FCP 7 and Motion 4 through the "Share" protocol, while Compressor 3.5 accesses them via "Job Actions". The templates are localized for Chinese, French, German, Japanese and Spanish. This product is currently available by download only, although a hard copy will be available in the coming days.
     FCP World plans to release more products in the near future. "I'm really excited about releasing these templates," said Monahan, "I can't wait to roll out more products and editing tools in the coming weeks."
