Maloney's Tavern on Fourth
So what did you do over the summer? Make any movies? Take any classes? Go to any seminars? Well, bring all that info in and join us at Maloney’s! I’ve also always liked having all the pictures of various film stars on the walls as well. That wasn’t even intentional!
Come one, come all! IFASA is having an End of Summer mixer at Maloney’s Tavern on Fourth Ave! Bring headshots, business cards, and/or your latest epic!
Maloney’s has Happy Hour Specials from 4 to 7PM – 2 for 1 drinks and 2 for 1 appetizers! Ample parking right off Fourth. We’ll be in the pool (billiards, not water) area again. Let’s pack this place!
Look for: details on the IFASA Fall Film Fest! This is the name of the new 3 Minute Thriller Fest. Bring a copy of your short thriller film on DVD (10 min or less) to enter and look for a formal announcement from IFASA on this site soon!
The Details:

We are proud to introduce our speaker, Jim Waters!
After studying photography, film making and media at the University Of Wisconsin-Madison, Jim moved to New York City where he worked at an Independent Film company and numerous audio recording studios. Eventually, he opened his own studio (Waterworks Recording) where he worked with many New York bands of the late 80’s and early 90’s (including Sonic Youth, Jon Spencer, Jay Mascis as well as Lou Reed and John Cale). He also worked on Academy Award nominated film Radio Bikini.
Jim moved to Tucson and opened up another studio (called Waterworks Recording West) where he continues to to record music (contributing to many sound tracks) and doing line mixing and field recording for film and video.

The July IFASA meeting will be held on the July 12 so that our members can enjoy their 4th of July holiday.
We will be having a panel discussion so bring your ideas to the meeting and we can discuss them. We would love to hear what you have to say. In the future, we will work on having your announcements out sooner.

June 6th, 2010
The June IFASA will feature a discussion of color correction, led by Al Graham. The meeting is on Monday, 7 June, at 6:00 PM at the Main Library, Catalina Meeting Room (2nd floor and go left), 101 N. Stone. Parking in the underground garage is free after 5:00 PM.
(Mis-)Adventures in Color Correction will cover color grading issues that come up in multi-camera use. Al has recent experience in editing a shoot that used two different cameras and had tremendous problems in getting selections from each camera to match colors for the final video. He will give examples of what not to do and how to fix what was unfortunately done anyway! He will show video examples and other useful things that would be of interest to other novice video editors. The entertaining part would be of interest to even experienced editors. Everyone is invited to participate in the discussion and share their experiences.
It will be an interesting and informative meeting. Everyone is welcome.?
