About this user

Back in high school, myself and a group of friends considered ourselves half decent film makers with our grasp on the technicalities of tape to tape editing on VHS VCR's. This very old and somewhat archaic style of editing instilled a feel for pace and flow that was made ever so easy with my introduction to non-linear editing in the form of a Macintosh computer my dad bought for me, specifically for its editing capabilities. This was way back in 1996when I mastered a piece of editing software called Avid Cinema. It was a very sophisticated program, especially for its day, and even rivaled software on professional and commercial editing suites. Used in conjunction with Adobe Premiere (way back in the version 4.0 days) almost anything could be acomplished.

Now I have two MacBooks with enough video editing and manipulation software to make George Lucas proud and an imagination and sense of humor to fuel the capabilities of the amazing tools that people such as Apple and Adobe accommodate us with.

But software and hardware aside, I remember the tape to tape days fondly and always remind myself that it's not in the gun, it's in the man. I am first and foremost a story teller, and although the best software and hardware make it easier to tell a story, the story has to be there in the first place. It's this movie making philosophy that has always kept me going, and will always keep me interested.
