Darius Fisher, who co-edited and co-produced 'Fields of Fuel', a documentary that won the Audience award at the 2008 Sundance Film Festival will show several clips and show how Final Cut Studio was used to make this complex and important documentary work.
'Traitor' is a film set to be released on August 27 and is written and directed by Jeffrey Nachmanoff (screenwriter of 'The Day After Tomorrow') and edited by award-winning Film Editor, Billy Fox ('Hustle and Flow', 'Black Snake Moan').
It stars Academy Award nominee Don Cheadle ('Hotel Rwanda', 'Crash') and Guy Pearce ('Memento', 'LA Confidential'). Jeffrey Nachmanoff (subject to availability) and Editor Billy Fox will discuss how Final Cut Studio helped bring this taut international thriller to life.
From Spain, Director of Photography Miguel de Olaso will show clips from his work utilising the Red Digital Cinema Camera and talk briefly on the Final Cut Pro workflow.
Adobe's Simon Hayhurst and Jason Levine will show how Adobe Production Premium's suite of applications can compliment the Final Cut Pro workflow.

The video will be followed by a short demonstration of the file-based workflow between the Infinity and FCP. This includes a full 10-bit, 4:2:2, JPEG 2000 workflow that uses the recently released I-J2K Suite from CineForm as well as MPEG-2 HD workflow using the Telestream Flip4Mac solution.
Finally, and throughout the evening, there will be presentations from Independent Filmmakers and digital video artists from throughout Europe.
In addition to the above agenda there will be twenty vendors from all around Europe showing off their wares. Many of these companies will not be on the show floor at IBC. The SuperMeet will be the only place you will see them.
There will be food and cash bars and rounding out the evening will be a raffle with prizes totalling into the tens of thousands of dollars.
Doors will open at 5pm and the show will begin at 7pm. Tickets are on sale online priced: €10.
