I bet some people are surprised they aren't offering the kids lessons in Final Cut Pro X.
I thought the only difference between Final Cut Pro X and iMovie was the price...
Got a tip for us?

No, the stars need to be more evenly distributed so it doesn't look like the only stars in the sky happen to be the ones making the board, and the Logo needs to be in a different font [a display "scratchy" one for example, on an angle] to complement the standard text. Actually, the entire design isn't arranged in any sort of method and therefore doesn't look very appealing at all.
Truth! Just what this country needs, more kids aspiring to the creative arts.
"In 2009 the U.S. graduated 89,140 students in the visual and performing arts, more than in computer science, math and chemical engineering combined and more than double the number of visual and performing arts graduates in 1985."

I just signed my niece up for this camp. A parent/guardian must stay there with them during the camp - which I have no problem doing.
I think that kids who have a genuine interest or curiosity get a lot out of the camps. Two of my older nephews did them in the past - one had a blast, the other really wasn't into it as much.
I'm surprised in this economy and political mess people are graduating at all, who can afford ~$400k for higher education (not including materials and living expenses)? If you're even lucky to qualify for a student loan at ~29% interest rates.
BoT, it's a great idea, we need to inspire and educate our children more in this nation. It seems we've lost the spark we once had. I remember in the '90's VH1 was working with musicians to support the arts as public funding for creative arts was being cut at a rapid rate. It's good to know it's done a 180 since.
As a graphic designer I noticed that, but then realized what the concept was; the stars in the sky just happen to be in the shape of a movie board and the dots are simply connected. So it's a "coincidence", not an actual movie board, hence the reason for the Apple logo and type being horizontal... That and it's not very "Apple" to have tilted type....
Er... or were you being sarcastic?
I this camp idea is a nice start, but I think Apple needs to leverage this into being at the forefront of decentralized film production & distribution.
Something like a content creation portal where users can buy and sell their wares and services and productions, from investment capital to props & actors to animation, effects, editors & post mixing, to allow people to get their films made and distribute them to audiences via iTunes.
