Jason Levine – Healing People Daily with the Power of Digital Video & Audio

Hey there! Well, it's been a little too long since my last post (Oy!) and the guilt is almost too much to handle; almost. ;) As such, this is just a brief update (and I'm waiting on some pics, so stay tuned) but wanted to keep everyone up-to-date on what's been happening in the Benelux...

So, we began last week showcasing FMS, Flash, AMP & Production Premium @ the A/V Manifestatie in Hilversum. Alongside our partners, Dutchview, Greg and I conducted multiple presos over two days, largely focusing on the abilities of FMS & Flash, and hyping some of the cool content (and flexibility) of Adobe Media Player.

The only great story I have for you (with regard to bizarre-occurrences on the road) is that Greg and I took the train (each morning) to the venue in Hilversum...and we consistently MISSED THE TRAIN, coming and going, three times! Now, this is NOT a usual occurrence. And what made it even MORE weird? The trains were actually 'there' when we walked/ran up to them. Twice, the doors had already closed, and we simply couldn't get in. The third time, the train wasn't due to leave for another 3 minutes, and a whole bunch of us stood there, trying to get in (with an attendant standing there, looking on) and then we literally watched the train pull-away, whilst we were hanging onto the door! Bizarro! Fortunately, train #4 was just fine, and we've been 'back to normal' ever since. But that was seriously weird. ;)

Jase & Serge Present Together, Multimania, Kortrijk '08

Following that event, we headed out to Kortrijk. In short...Multimania was a blast!! I presented @ the Keynote with fellow Adobe Platform Evangelist, Serge Jespers, to an inspired crowd of nearly 1000 people. The best thing about it? I got to 'sneak' a whole bunch of new technologies and things...and people REALLY enjoyed it! (note: Thanks to fellow Adobe colleague Bert H. for the pics!)

Following the success of Multimania (and an additional session that I presented on HD Workflow and Blu-Ray authoring) I headed back to Amsterdam, while Greg went off to France. We'll meet up again in Zurich, to kick off round two of the 'Master's Tour' along with Rufus.

Alrighty my friends, that's all for now. I've *got* to catch up on email...and sleep.

So, until next time...
