Presentation by Thomas Walsh. Tuesday, April 5, 7-9 p.m.

A number of photo club members are aware of the work, including videography, that Thomas Walsh has done to bring some attention to the very extensive, yet rarely mentioned, abuse of children by nuns. On Tuesday, April 5, Thomas will give a presentation on the subject from 7 to 9 p.m. at Tina Davis Studio, 947 Kimbark St., Longmont. The meeting will take place under the auspices of LightOn Creatives for Community, a Longmont based group of creatives actively involved in further expanding the already burgeoning Longmont art scene.

Photographic Frontiers Study Group Meeting This Wednesday, April 6—Post-Processing Videos

Oaken Beeson will follow up his well-attended and enthusiastically received talk last month with another overview of videography for photographers. Those who attended last month know that Oaken is very knowledgeable and excellent at explaining. It’s time you hit that record video button on your cameras, folks. Come learn how to proceed after the initial capture. As usual, we will meet at Boulder Digital Arts in Boulder, at 1600 Range St., from 7 to 9 p.m. Oaken’s announcement:

“Editing and Encoding: What to do with those video files!

“In the next chapter of our DSLR video course we’ll go over transferring those files off of your camera, into an editing program, and exporting out a completed video. We will use Premiere Pro CC and Adobe Media Encoder to go over basic editing techniques, basic coloring, and encoding file types. Feel free to bring your laptop and go though the process on hand if you have an Adobe subscription, but most of what will be covered is also applicable to other editing programs. Keeping in line with the previous DSLR class, everything will be kept simple and easy, making your own videos does not need o be a complicated and lengthy process, with a few simple tricks you can import, edit and export out a completed video in 15 minutes. So bring your cameras, bring your laptops or just bring a notebook, and let’s finally get those video files out there for everyone to see!”
