Money. That's why. That's what it boils down to. MONEY. Of course, you're thinking...what about LOCATION, CAST and CREW, not to mention DISTRIBUTION? What about a killer SCRIPT?

It is true that Utah has a stunning array of mind-blowing locations suitable for most any blockbuster, a gold mine of crew talent with some of the best Directors, DP's, grips, gaffers and sound engineers in the business, not to mention exceptional post-production talent including award winning sound designers, composers and special effects artists.

Becoming a Preditor PDF Print E-mail
Independent Films
Written by Damian Dayton   

Predators are usually at the top of the food chain. Natural selection at its best. If you are the biggest predator in town you certainly have a Darwinian advantage over most other foodstuffs in your surrounds. In the production world, especially in a smaller market like Salt Lake, the Producer-Editor otherwise known as the “Preditor” has certain advantages as well. With skills as both an editor and producer you will raise your value to small productions, but more importantly knowledge that you gain as a producer will help you in the editing process and vice versa.

certificate.gifSo last spring I signed up for a Final Cut crash course at NAB. A two day course taught by Future Media Concepts (embed link) which culminated with a test and certification for  basic Final Cut Certification (the 1st of 3 levels).  I don’t know if a crash course is for everyone, but if you like to drink from a fire-hose, this may be the solution for you.
