Digital Media Artists - Los Angeles
www.dmala.org/index.html

Digital Media Artists / Los Angeles (DMA/LA) is an association for professionals creating imagery for video, film, and other media using desktop tools. MGLA was formed in August 1997 through the merger of several previously-existing groups. DMA/LA is an extention of that - continuing in 2008. DMA/LA's area of discussions are not restricted to a specific hardware or software solution, understanding that an artist often has to employ 2D, 3D, and other digital tools to realize their vision - and that artistic inspiration can be universal.

Los Angeles Final Cut Pro Users Group
http://www.lafcpug.org/

The Los Angeles Final Cut Pro User Group, (LAFCPUG) was born out of the 2-pop community. Established in June of 2000 by a few dozen folks who had been meeting regularly on the forums of 2-pop.com, the LAFCPUG was created simply for a chance to meet face to face and share our experiences and concerns surrounding Final Cut Pro.

Meetings typically include the sharing of short samples of members works in progress, trailers of finished works, and clips that might need some troubleshooting. In addition, guest speakers from the creative and technical communities, showcase new software or hardware as well as share their technical or creative expertise. The meetings also serve as a networking opportunity for the members.

LAFCPUG acknowledges the powerful influence Final Cut Pro has made on the digital filmmaking process and it's impact on the future of the entire entertainment industry, and intends to be at, and stay on top of, the digital filmmaking revolution. And have a bit of a laugh along the way.
