Get an Emmy at the Apple Store

Whenever I go to an Apple Store, it seems like the classes they’re having are about how to set up iCal or making photobooks in iPhoto. Little did I know you can get Emmy-winning training in Final Cut Pro! Turns out that first-time filmmaker Larry Newman won just such an award for his first directorial effort, Children’s Music Workshop: 2007 All Schools Honor Orchestra.

TUAW elaborates:

Newman had no previous filmmaking experience, and said that he “just purchased a high-definition camera and went to the Apple store for weekly lessons on Final Cut Pro.” The film focused on the annual concert at UCLA of 130 students who are enrolled in Newman’s Children’s Music Workshop program, and particularly on nine students in the Burbank Unified School District.

The Burbank Leader newspaper also has more on the program that Newman covered in his award-winning film.
