    Hey guys.
    I’m a pretty new at this whole video editing thing. I’ve had some lessons, meaning a friend showed me some stuff, and I have a general knowledge of it but this is really my first big project.
    I’ve been an actor for a bit now and well, in this video, I am the actor/athlete in the video.
    I know that I don’t use Final Cut (I use Sony Vegas Pro) but I was just looking for some professional criticism and I figured this was the place to ask! 🙂

    Thanks a lot guys

    Cheers

    Short of mailing people DVDs of your video it gets pretty lucky to find receiving computers that can wrestle the internet for demonstratable video and audio. Do you have a slide- show of pictures and typed dialog or a sound file to present what the sound is? That could be workable.

    David, I decided to get the least resourceful (that`s at least resourceful) of that unmapped snow drift between my ears so I pulled the molex plug to the hard drive of my computer, slapped a Puppy Linux CD into the optical drive and found myself ready to check your post with video and audio in a matter of minutes. (A newest edition of a Ubuntu or Fedora Org CD might do the same). I was able to download 17 seconds of your flash video then grab a few later spots before the memory sticks filled too much so here`s what I dug or dug into,
    1. The audio was quite understandable and full but it would be helpful to not sound like you were talking through fan blades or into a barrel.
    2. Unlike many other beginners and all too many directors with beards who (always) say that they are testing a camera (or testing everything), your video certainly does go forward.
    3. In other words, if you are making a tv commercial then mostly you are sailing or rolling with the pros and can turn things into business right away but if you are making a movie or a show then I`d toss a way more sentimental story at your thirsty blinking audience.
    4. If you keep the idea that it`s all business, don`t let the audio or video develop problems unto noticable distraction, and make sure the material and story don`t get thin then there will be nothing to learn or want that won`t require more time than you can hold your breath for, for maybe the next 60 years, otherwise writing and engraving sheet music or being a touch- up lithograph technician for a magazine or newspaper is an easier way to make a living in mass maedia.
    5. If you`re making shows then don`t break a leg (unlike what I`m seeing, remember, 60 years) or if you are in show business, break a leg.
