This summer I am taking courses at a variety of design schools in the area. Here is my most recent video editing reel that I completed at the School of Visual Arts in their weekend Final Cut Pro class. While I am experienced with Final Cut (been using it since version 1.0), I figured it is a good idea to brush up on Final Cut since I have been focusing more on web design topics lately. Plus I plan on also re-certifying once the new version of Final Cut Pro is released, so a brush up was in order.
All of the classes at SVA were amazing. The instructors were all very knowledgeable and prepared. I actually hope that I can kure a few of them over to LaGuardia and adjunct for the New Media Technology program.
The following video contains a basic edit reel that I put together to see is I could still cut footage to compliment a given piece of music. I was given an mp3 audio file and a set of random video clips and asked to create an original music video based on the tone of the song. The following video is what I was able to put together in a couple of hours. I’ll let you guys be the judge on whether or not I can still edit.
