Now FCP has been a good personnel friend of mine since I began serious video editing five years ago however I now have to concider my future with the program.Im considering the switch to Premiere in the next year as some key features I use all the time are absent multi cam and Reference files to name just two the third party plugins and hardware dont work anymore so need to be replaced or have new software written the biggy though is that FCPX cannot load any previous versions of FCP projects Apple have said its impossible not that they arent doing it they just plain cant.

The project is to create a forum for the local community to have a dialogue as to the future present and past of their local area. Show and Tell Together with the Westhill Art Project Killeen amp Aitchison in collaboration with Callum Kellie will be inviting the people of Westhill to join us at our Renewable Arts Pavillion at the Westhill Gala on Saturday 4th June 2011. We ask you to come along and show and tell us what life in Westhill has meant to your past present and what you envisage for the future. Over the next four weeks you can watch here the progress of the project see us out meeting the community and view the arts pavillion taking shape. We look forward to listening to you all at the Gala.For more details check out the facebook page or Killeen amp Aitchisons website. 2011-4-28 22:28:11 http://www.callumkellie.co.uk/page2.htm#93549 Well Fae the Friends and Land I Love is over and was a great success and I would just like to say thank you to everyone who worked hard to make it happen. The work is back in the country and after a interesting meeting with Senan Killen of the XPO Gallery and his design partner Ross Aitchison I am looking forward to collaborating in a possible future project with both of them check for future blog posts for details. 2011-4-20 21:05:22 http://www.callumkellie.co.uk/page2.htm#93563 2011-4-15 23:04:13 http://www.callumkellie.co.uk/page2.htm#69297 Well the journey continues and we can see the top of the hill down hill after that until we break the crest to see a hidden peak after the plateau. but its the journey not the getting there that counts right Just in the same way that its not the competition or winning at the end of the league that makes it important but the journey that and banter shared on the way. Thats why I think the Aberdeen Darts Associations Festival of Finals was so aptly named. A celebration of all the times shared games played and friendships cemented over the course of the darts year. So the day was a success as far as the play was concerned with some brilliant darts and tense moments the stovies werent bad either. As far as the photography was concerned a little more light would of been appreciated but you always want more of that.That was a wee while ago though I have been deeply entrenched in scanning and printing all the materials Ive accumulated over the past months.

Digital does a few things to the photographer which I know I am guilty of myself it makes for a photographer who relies to heavily on digital manipulation and clean up after the photograph has been taken rather than getting the exposure and composition right in camera. It also makes for an undiscerning photographer who takes far too many images hoping that through quantity of images taken that successful images through a sheer weight of numbers will emerge.
