Learn how Adobe is changing the way work is produced managed and delivered by attending this seminar. Kevan O'Brien is one of Adobe's solution experts specializing in film and video production workflows. Kevan will illustrate the following points.

• Native RED camera file format support, XD CAM and P2 file based workflows negating the need for ingest and transcoding of rushes to start the logging and editing process.
• Soundbooth, Adobe's audio tool, has industry leading features for audio cleanup but see how its next iteration will enable rich metadata extraction for use in rushes, logging transcripts and editing.
• Integration has always been Adobe's key messaging but see how it was actually implemented in award winning short movies including the OSCAR winning "Peter and the Wolf".

This seminar will last approximately 45 minutes with Q&A to follow.

EVENT HOST BIO:
Kevan has over 20 of years experience in film and video production, working on both low rent TV game shows as well as Academy award winning documentaries and shorts. Prior to his calling to the world of film production, Kevan pursued a career selling snake oil and broken dreams to the gullible and less fortunate so after a period serving in the Foreign Legion, a life as an editor seemed less of a hardship and allowed him to work full time on his English Editor's tan.

Working for three years in music television and then a further seven in advertising, purgatory working for a corporate giant appeared to be a viable option so Kevan took his extensive production skills out on the road with Adobe and started sharing his knowledge with corporate clients and the great unwashed alike.

Kevan has a history of supporting new and young talent, as long as there are cute boys with torn trousers and shoes on the team, to the point of being a Production Angel supplying assistance with transfers editing and technology. This theology has allowed Kevan to be involved in some of the most successful low budget production shorts to come out of the UK while still keeping his sense of fair play and credibility as a Technical Producer.

Often seen haunting airport departure lounges, Kevan is officially on the unofficial TSA No Fly List, he is approachable as long as you offer up a Bloody Mary or a Vodka Cranberry to his snarling wizened face, that and telling him he really doesn't look a day over 40.
