Presenting at DMA / Los Angeles on Tuesday
March 10th, 2010

UPDATE: Thanks to everyone for coming and saying hi. I had a blast!

I'm excited to be presenting at the Digital Media Artists / LA meeting next week and hopefully you will can join the fun. It's a free meeting from 6pm-10pm in Los Angeles but you need to register and last year it sold-out pretty quick. Please stop by, it was great meeting so many of you last year.

Remember, there will be plenty of door prizes as well.

Due to the fact that most of your fans can't go there, it would be great if we can have access to the conference via a recorded file on your website. I am a bit embarrassed to ask you that because you already give us a lot but I think it's a good idea.

I really wish that I lived in the USA, but unfortunately I live on an Isle of Wight just off of mainland UK, so I can't make it but I am really gaining some great experience through your expertise and without Video Copilot I would not be on this amazing journey creating visual effects.
Many thanks Andrew I hope your success keeps growing...

It was awesome to see performing A.K (One man show) I confirm to all of you that he doesn't need to edit his videos here to be the way he is... he is just like that if you know what I mean. Thanks for signing my shirt A.K. I recorded the whole thing and you (A.K.) said you want a copy of it so send me a message and I'll give you a link.

Turns out Andrew is just as cool in the real world as he makes himself out to be in his tutorials. Glad to see the fame and fortune (ok - maybe not fortune) hasn't gone to your head, Andy. Thanks for the heads up on the mtg...the 4 hour drive was worth it.

Hey guys,

I was there at the DMA meet up. Andrew showed us a great way to once again put Sam in some type of troubled situation. He said this will eventually be a tutorial, so don't worry about missing out! You have a great one in the pipeline coming to vc.net, so stay tuned.

...oh, and he signed my VC hat.

Hey Andrew..
Would it be possible for you to film your lecture and post it on the site.
Unfortunately I live in Israel and will not be able to attend the conference, as I am sure many of who follow up on the site.
I am speaking for all of us abroad who love and are inspired by your work, as well as the others on the Copilot team, Please have someone over there film your lecture and post it on the site.
Thank you in advance for all the hard work.
