In Case of Emergency...
My friend the other day lost his iPhone in a department store dressing room. It had dropped out of his pocket, while he was trying on clothes and he didn't realize it was gone until he got home. There is nothing worse than losing your iPhone!
While commiserating with him, I realized that, if your iPhone is locked, it might even be hard for a Good Samaritan to get it back to you. Then, an idea hit me! Create an In Case of Emergency graphic for the locked screen. Many of us have that ICE contact in our Contact List, but if the phone is locked...

Read Diana's Blog!
In all my years in training, I've taught and talked about editing systems and editing applications. That's been fun. I even wrote books on Avid and Final Cut Pro along the way. But I haven't gotten to share my passion for editing...until now. With my new Lynda.com course, "Effective Storytelling with Final Cut Pro X," I finally get to respond to all those students who, after taking a "how-to" class on a specific app or system, call me and say, "Where do I start? How do I dive into the mountain of footage I shot? I'm overwhelmed. Can you help?"
The answer is – yes, I can help. You'll find lots of tips and tricks for 'finding your story' in my "Effective Storytelling" course. I teach you what I refer to as 'the Michelangelo approach' where you find the story you want to tell in a mountain of footage, just as Michelangelo found his David in a hunk of marble. In addition to the content in my course, I'm also starting a companion blog called "Telling Stories." You see, it doesn't matter to me what medium you choose to tell a story. You can use photography, music, video, or play-doh. What matters is that you actually tell your story. And with guidance and practice, you'll become even more skilled and efficient. So join me and together we can journey back to our storytelling roots. In my blog, I'll share stories on the art and craft of storytelling and challenge you to develop compelling stories of your own. Join me! I'm sure we'll all have fun in the process.
