Final Cut Pro Tutoring

AmyO — Thu, 21 Jan 2010 23:48:12 +0000

I have put up my new services and rates page, and you will note that I include Final Cut Pro (FCP) tutoring. FCP is a great program, but it does take some time to learn. I have years of experience both with the program and with assisting others to learn the program, and I would like to share that knowledge with others looking to tell their stories with video. Whether you are a new film student who needs a little extra one-on-one time in between classes, or someone looking to move up from iMovie, I’d love to help you get more out of Final Cut Pro.

Welcome to Purple Macaroni Productions. I am currently in the progress of re-designing the site. The first step was to install WordPress. I plan to have video galleries up and running soon.

In the meantime, you can see my online resume on the “Credits” page.
You can also see some of my short films on Vimeo.
