Video Editing

I have created openings, tributes and memorials for conventions and conferences. These pieces have to be short, tight and memorable. Sometimes the medium used is a digital slide show, sometimes a video that is shown in a conference and then distributed, and sometimes it is burned to a DVD, CD, or made into web files.

I have edited videos aimed at raising awareness for various social issues with the goal of social justice. Videos with a cause are always special.

The convergence of computers and video and the resulting digital tools have required video artists to expand their skills and mindsets, blurring the absolute distinctions that were common in the old paradigm. Many of the pieces I produce now require compositing and editing and addition of a sound track before going out the door.

Following is a representative sample of editing projects:
