Instructor Testimonials & Feedback About Jeff Fortune
“I am writing in regards to FCP training that we received from Jeff Fortune in June of 2009. I manage Unalaska Community Broadcasting in Unalaska/Dutch Harbor Alaska. We operate KUCB Channel 8 TV, a small community-licensed station. … Jeff came all the way out to the Aleutian Islands to work with UCB staff and volunteers. Participants found Jeff to be an enthusiastic instructor. He was patient with our myriad of questions, and he was a wealth of information. We also appreciated that Jeff was easy to contact prior to the training, as well as for follow-up questions after his visit. The training that Jeff provided went a long way in helping staff streamline our work flow and make use of Final Cut Pro’s features. Jeff was also a lot of fun to have around! Thanks, Jeff, for all of your assistance!” ~ Lauren Adams, General Manager KUCB Channel 8 TV [source]
“Jeff Fortune gave me an intense and extensive three-day training course in FCP, LiveType, DVD Studio Pro, and Soundtrack Pro. He also helped me along the way with some fantastic pointers as I am also new to Mac. By the time he left here, I was eating, breathing, and sleeping Mac and FCP like a champ. He is very patient and extremely knowledgeable in his field, as well as an extremely experienced and talented editor. His creativity with these applications is astounding. Whenever I come upon a snag with something, I e-mail Jeff and he pops right back or calls with a response that solves my problem every time.” Kari Russell, Witchita, KS [source]
