Mr. Michael Keplinger, Deputy Director General, Copyright and Related Rights Sector, WIPO (World Intellectual Property Orgnaization), visited Stevenson University’s Department of Film/Video to lead a discussion on Intellectual Property issues, and how they relate to filmmaking.

The students in attendance were enthusiastic about the material presented, and hope to apply the lessons in their future work.

David Helmly (left up at the table in the front of the room) and Sebastian DiStefano (right at that same table) of Adobe came to Stevenson today to present a workshop on the wonderful In’s and Out’s of the Adobe CS5.5 Production Premium Suite, which we have on our video editing stations. In the morning session, they covered Premiere Pro, along with the “dynamic link” between Adobe Story, Premiere, After Effects, Encore and other aspects of the CS5.5 Suite. In the afternoon, they focused more on those other elements of the Suite, including Adobe Audition.

It was great fun, and very informative.

Greetings from Chicago, where I have traveled for this year’s Thanksgiving holiday.

Usually, I visit Long Island or Massachusetts, but this year those relatives are traveling, themselves, so I decided to visit my good friend Savvas Paritsis, who teaches at DePaul University, in the School of Cinema and Interactive Media.

Here we are, reflected in “The Bean.”

Have a fantastic Thanksgiving, wherever you are.
