Dallas Casablanca Events 2010: Wrap-up

[CasablancaExpert]

Thanks again to those who participated in the Dallas 2010 Casablanca Workshop & Conference. We enjoyed great food and fellowship/networking, learned a bunch of new tips & operations and got our hands and eyes on some new equipment. I have a wrap-up of each day of the Conference as well as a summary of the week on my free Casablanca Expert Blog - click here

Regards,

It was a great time in Big D. Learned a lot, great food, great fellowship even some new equipment purchased. Thanks again Chet, Bobbie, Ken, and Seth for putting it on and sharing ideas and shortcuts. Can't wait to see music video that Bobbie is putting together (I think her camera is an extension of her arm) Make plans to be there next year and also the MGT both are great........

Lowell: 'my right arm does not have a camera attached but does have velcro on it' ..............but that was the only way to get all the shots of you!

Attending Chet's sessions at Dallas Conference proved to be a great learning for me.

Not only did I learn procedures with software I was not comfortable with like CANDY FACTORY,TITLE STUDIO, TWIXTOR, THE EXTREMENLY FAST EDITING WITH THE MARK AND

ACTION BUTTONS,etc...........but the information went 'beyond that' to disclosing 'secrets, on how to make certain software work better with certain settings and even EASTER EGGS' [/i]in our own

system that I would of NEVER KNOWN without 'Chet's guidance' to where these things are hidden at!!!! By Chet sharing 'his trial and error efforts' we learned what settings make,

exact steps to transfer between PCs and Cassie units, how to improve our own webpages, send our storyboard and other large files to customers, and the enormous uses of CUSTOM

IMAGES that will help me tremendously. I am very glad I went and thankful for Chet's offer to teach us!
