Contributors

Jan Ozer has worked in digital video since 1990, and since 1996, has

served as a contributing editor to PC Magazine and EventDV. Jan’s 14

books on digital video have been translated into seven languages, and

include Making a Movie in Premiere Elements: Visual QuickProject

Guide. When not chasing his two daughters around with a camcorder,

Jan shoots and produces concert and training DVDs for local musicians

in his adapted home of Galax, Virginia. Y’all come see us, y’hear!

Elizabeth Whatley Ozer, the voice talent for Lesson 8, enjoys ballet dancing,

singing, and acting, and plans to attend Julliard in the fall of 2016.

Contributions, therefore, will be gladly accepted.

Eleanor Rose Ozer, who generally directed the artistic components of this

endeavor, enjoys cars, cats, and chocolate, not necessarily in that order.

She plans to either be a Secret Service agent or an architect.
