Thanks for this Walter. I understand what your saying very well. I’ve worked as a photographer, very briefly, [although I remain a hobbyist] and the same applies to camera technology. Glad you recommend those Walter Murch books…I was considering them on Amazon only yesterday. I’ll go ahead and get them I think.

I’m slowly tracking down training courses. Of course the only way to get skilled is to actually work. That’s going to be very hard to find I suspect, especially in a form that pays me something to live on!

OK Thanks. So I suppose DVD authoring is a little like multimedia authoring, in which I have some experience. I’d prefere to aim for documentary editing though.

No idea if I’m being arrogant in believing that I can take a training course and stand a hope of getting into the industry though. As, if I opt for FCP I’d have to buy myself a Mac [I’m a PC man right now], the costs are significant. It all does seem to be a bit of a gamble.
