happy_fcp_student01happy_fcp_student02

Back in the training seat again after a brief break

5 days intensive final cut or fcp200 as it is know

Monday the 20th April through too Friday the 24th

Had two amazing students, Maria & Denise at the AATC

Maria is coming from a back ground of Theater

She was looking to become a pro editor

Denise likes cameras, fast cars & deserts :-)

After 9 years of Avid he warmed up to FCP quickly

Plenty of interaction & hands on editing

Both took the end user exam and passed with flying colours

I have the pleasure of teaching this course once a month

And it is always amazing, helping the ponies get up too speed

Happy Editing

fcp tech support for "The Heat of Jenin" in Berlin

heartfromjenin

This is a project that I can hardly enter in the "SELECTED FILMOGRAPHY AS EDITOR" part of my site. For the simple reason that I didn´t edit it. Grrrr :-)

Amazing stuff. The Heart from Jenin is the story of Ahmed Chatib, a Palestinian boy shot by Israelis whose father decided, within twelve hours, to donate his son’s organs to six Israeli children so as to save their lives.

My job was to provide technical support for Saskia Metten who´s job it was to edit the film down from 60 too 90 minutes for DVD release.

Truly inspiring stuff to see how this woman fought for every frame in this film and that with a tool that she didn´t really understand 100%. Coming from Avid to FCP Pro for the first time, Saskia can already leave most seasoned fcp editors in the dust! Going beyond the tools to tell a truly inspiring story.
