On March 17 our general meeting was held at the Radio-TV-Film Department at Cal State Fullerton. This time our members were in the minority as around 20 college students were our free guests. There were also 6 people from Cal State Fullerton's Radio-TV-Film Department as well as 5 guest panelists from other institutions of higher learning.
President BEVERLY TURNER open the meeting and introduced CHARLIE GIBBS who put the program together. After a warm welcome from Dr. Edward Fink, Chairman of the Radio-TV-Film Department, he introduced Shelley Jenkins, Lecturer, who conducted a tour of their Final Cut Pro editing lab in the basement of the building we were in, and took us on a long walk over to the main campus to see one of their video studios.
The panel discussion centered around finding work. A lot of good advice was given, such as try entering the creative field through sales (where there are always openings) to some good all around advice about being a good worker and reliable person.
After that, we viewed 3 student produced videos. One was a humorous look about one person's dream of the perfect video game, and how video games can take over your life if you are not careful, another was a still photo tribute of DeForest Kelly from the original Star Trek series and another was a portion of a longer video of a funny "Jackie Chan" type fight in a kitchen, and some intrigue about a data disk, that was produced by students of Costa Mesa High School. We also viewed some artwork by Esther Cochran via some Flash animation on her web site.
