Customer Success Story: Chuck Myers
I have two passions in my life: fishing and production.
Currently I'm working at Time Warner Cable South Bay as the producer and director
of our weekly television talk show, Reach Out with Ben McCain, and my love of fishing
has led me to start http://www.sportfishingontv.com/
and Sportfishing Television, both airing in 4.2 million Time Warner Cable homes
all over Los Angeles. At this point in my life, I feel so lucky to get paid to do
what I love.
Up until last December, I had never spent money on any classes; everything I knew
about editing I'd learned on my own. So what changed in December? I went to a show
in L.A., DV Expo West, where I first saw lynda.com. That's when I realized that
for $25 a month I could take as many courses in Final Cut Pro as I could squeeze
in, so I decided to give it a shot. My month-to-month subscription led to me buying
my own Power Mac G5 and Final Cut Pro Studio, and the rest is history.
Since then, my sport fishing show has really reaped the benefits of what I've learned
on lynda.com. This year I submitted three episodes for Telly Awards, and all three
of them won. I've also got a submission in for an Emmy, so I'll have to wait and
see what happens with that. I'm sure all of these are going to help me with my ultimate
goal of taking Sportfishing Television national.
For me, lynda.com has been great because I can jump on the site and learn whenever
my busy schedule permits. The teaching styles are also fantastic. I would recommend
lynda.com to anyone—in fact, one of my friends just signed up last night!
