Trailer
While I was Assistant Editor in the
online suite at CVF, I worked on the actual full-length video
for the Kitty Wells and Johnny Wright Road Show Farewell video
that was released on VHS. As Assistant Editor I was tape operator,
and CG operator. It was originally edited to D2 Tape Format. I
digitized clips from the over hour long video to the AVID and
made a trailer as a learning exercise to learn to edit using AVID's
Media Composer. What you see here is my first AVID project. I
added the "Eddie Scrubbs" title to this trailer to learn
AVID's title features. This one-minute trailer combines six months
of learning as Assistant Editor and the result of two weeks learning
on the AVID. Knowledge of Premiere helped to learn the AVID as
quickly as I did. As a dedicated fan of country music, this was
an exciting project to be a part of. I hope to continue creative
work for the country music industry in the future, whether it
be graphics, multimedia or video.
Starting as video on a tape, and then digitizing, and laying
off again, and then compressing to reduce file size has lessoned
the quality of this video you see here.

 In
January of 2001, I started as an Intern
and remained an Assistant Editor to the Online Editor
at Cummings Video & Film (CVF) until August of 2001 when
I became AVID Editor for Home Center Network at CVF.
During the 6 months as an Assistant Editor,
some of the
areas I became familiar with include:
Online
editing
Pinnacle's
Type Deko 3.5 on a Windows NT 4 System
as CG (a.k.a. Chyron) operator
Graphic
Design for Video
Sony
BVW 70, and BVW 75 Beta SP decks
Manual
signal routing
Voice-Over
Recording
Working
with Clients in a Client-Edit environment
Although I never learned to edit using the Grass
Valley 200 Switcher and the CMX 3500 controller in the online edit suite,
I did have experience in Digital Editing using Adobe Premiere. I valued
the exposure to online editing confident that the techniques would carry
over into digital editing. I did learn the techniques used by the Online
Editor through observation. At the time the Online Editor had 19 years
of editing experience, and was a valuable resource for learning the basic
principles of video editing. Some of the principles I learned through
exposure include:
On-screen
Composition
Timing,
as it applies to transitions and effects in Video Programs
Use
of Transitions
Chroma
& Alpha Keying
Use
of Color in Video Programs
Video
Effects such as Motion & Scaling
The
Importance, and usage, of Audio in Video Programs
Later, the techniques I learned were put to use
as I became the
AVID Editor for Home Center Network in August of 2001, and
continued through June of 2002.
In October 2001, I began client-editing for Mary
Dimoff, from PACE
(Paper, Allied-Industrial, Chemical & Energy International Workers
Union). PACE was a client of Cummings Video & Film. Client-editing
is one of the most advanced areas of editing. I welcomed the challenge
to put my talent to the test. As a first-year AVID editor I realize that
I wasn't the fastest editor, but my creative ability as well as my perfection
was verbally appreciated.
I learned as much as I feel I could on my own,
editing for Home Center Network, and PACE, but I think I still need more
experience using advanced techniques in order to be a true "stand-alone"
AVID Editor. I am confident with a bit of advanced training in the proper
environment,
I would be a valuable asset to any post-production video staff.
