It’s cold out and this is just where you want to be, hunkered down with a warm cup of JUMP Society newsletter. Delicious!
Wayne Fitzgerald, Title Designer
You’ve probably seen Wayne Fitzgerald’s work. In fact, you’ve probably seen a lot of his work.
Fitzgerald is a three-time Emmy award winning motion picture and television title designer with over 1,000 title designs to his credit including Bonnie and Clyde, Total Recall, The Godfather trilogy, Innerspace, The Fly, The Breakfast Club, The Deer Hunter, Sixteen Candles, Footloose, The Big Chill, The Lord of the Rings, One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, Ghost, Basic Instinct, Apocolypse Now, The Graduate, and many — very many – other great films.
Fitzgerald will be speaking at the Juneau-Douglas Public Library at 7 p.m. On Saturday, December 27th and he will share some of his insights to short story telling, film history, and a life in the business.
This is a rare treat and I apologize for the short notice, please help us spread the word!

Hollywood for Mortals
Thanks so much to everyone who participated in the Hollywood for Mortals community filmmaking workshop!
Jeff is currently working with the footage to create a short film for the Winter JUMP festival and Mukhya is cutting down the fight scene which will be posted on the web site. Workshop participants will also be invited to download the raw footage and edit the scene themselves.
JAHC Wearable Art Show
If anyone is interested in doing volunteer work for the Juneau Arts and Humanities Council, they’re trying to find six camera operators, a couple editors and a few still photographers along with slugload of projectors.
It sounds like an ambitious project and a great chance to be a part of a live production environment. If you’re interested please contact the JAHC.

Ok, enough from me, now get inspired, grab a camera and meet me back here in a couple weeks!
