Mike Jones - Australia's Celtx Evangelist

Not too long ago we received a glowing email from the very accomplished Australian media producer, Mike Jones about how much he likes Celtx. By day Mike works as Manager of the Soundhouse-Vectorlab digital media studios at Australia's largest Museum, The Powerhouse. And by night (frankly I don't know when the guy sleeps!), Mike does even more interesting work like this. It goes without saying we were rather elated when Mike appeared on our radar with some of these wonderful comments...

"... I've taught, reviewed and used every editing system, compositing application, audio sequencer, production process, script-writing tool, storyboard system and imaging program known to humankind and I simply need to tell you that Celtx is the most efficient, effective, flexible and forward-thinking piece of software I have ever encountered in 15 years or making moving images..!"
"... Bloated, unstable, inefficient junk sadly forms the bulk of the software market. Celtx is a shining tungsten light in a crowded and poorly white-balanced room....."
"...I felt I really had to write simply to congratulate you on a superbly functional tool that delivers an insurmountably enormous contribution to the creative community of the world."

Mike has proven to be a terrific volunteer evangelist of Celtx, spreading the word and delivering workshops and demos to the many educational and industry conferences and events at which he is regularly invited to speak.

And, if that isn't enough, he recently wrote Part 1 (of 2) of this Celtx review on Digital Media Net Forums. It's a very thorough and objective description from an expert in his field and definitely worth the read.

Needless to say we think Mike is pretty wicked, and are most grateful for his efforts.
Many cheers to you, Mr. Jones!

Love,
The Celtx Team

I totally agree with what you've said about Mike. I belong to one of the educational organisations you mentioned and Mike is considered to be one of the most respected people in his field. His work with English high school teachers in our state is legendary - he brought us Cetx afterall.

Mr. Jones is pretty legendary at our office too... We LOVE Mike! You are very lucky to have him DownUnder. Btw Prue - I heard you speak in one of Mike's podcasts and was very interested in hearing how you are using Celtx in the classroom ie. adapting novel to stageplay. Be sure to let us know if we can be of assistance to you and your school in any way. Cheers, Sheila
