This is my submission for LA Post Fest. I won the Official Selection Category. It was pretty cool.
Skip the Gym and Head to a User Group Meeting
by: Wendy Woodhall, founder & director of The Los Angeles Post Production User Group
One of the best ways for us to feel a sense of purpose in our professional lives is to share our experiences with others. So whether you’re a wallflower or the life of the party you will certainly get something valuable from your local user group. Here are 5 reasons to skip the gym at least one weeknight a month and spend time with others who share your same interests and passions.
1. Top-notch Expert Advice & Demos.
Many user groups bring in leading pros to share tips, tricks and tools that will help you improve your own toolset. In addition to seeing how these pros work, being able to ask questions and get answers in person is worth its weight in gold. Some meetings, members leave with pages of notes trying to get every morsel of information to assist them when they get into the editing room.
2.Getting a First Look at the Latest Technologies.
So who doesn’t like to see the latest and greatest- or even better, get a peek at what’s on the horizon? Over the past few years it has become very clear to companies large and small that the marketing and advertising paradigm has shifted. Coming up close and personal to a group of potential consumers inspires enthusiasm, word of mouth and sales.
3. Get Hired.
It won’t happen every time, in fact it may never happen, but in our business its word of mouth and personal connections that get you hired. As the owner of a post audio studio for over 10 years, I spent a lot if time looking through resumes but there is simply no substitute for meeting someone in person, getting to know them and meeting others who have worked with them. User groups are incredible places for this.
4. The Chance to Network.
Getting hired is a lot like farming. You need to plant a lot of seeds and hopefully, with care and time good things grow. The opportunity to network is key at most user group meetings. At the LAPPG we always set aside time between presentations to make sure people have ample time to network. User groups present valuable opportunities for you to learn, get involved and know what’s going on in the world in which you are working.
5. Opportunity for Socializing.
Many of us sit in dark windowless rooms, editing, day after day with limited opportunities for interaction with others. Even those of us filmmakers who are on set live very stressful lives with deadlines to hit and producers to please. Socializing is important to our wellbeing. It’s in our nature as humans.
When I started the Los Angeles Post Production Group over 3 years ago I wondered what it would be like to put a bunch of editors in a room together to socialize? Would anyone talk to each other, would anyone even look up? I was pleasantly surprised at what a nice, supportive and social experience it ended up being. Because we see each other every month there is a sense of camaraderie, community and respect for the work we do.
Oh yeah…. I guess there is one more major benefit of joining a user group to add to the list. How could I forget this one? I think some people may find this the most important reason of all…
6.Great Giveaways!
Because companies now understand the value of face-to-face, hands-on experiences with their customers and potential customers, most user groups have a very generous stockpile of goodies from sponsors or partners to be given away each month. One of the best things about having your lucky number pulled is that you never know what doors will open and where this lucky prize might take you. You just never know what inspiration and connection you will walk home with after attending a user group meeting, but I invite you to go and find out.
