I am an African-American male from an environment that, let’s say, traditionally doesn’t have access to the types of creative tools produced in the price range of Discreet and Avid. Since Apple, Quicktime, and Final Cut came along the game has changed entirely and now rests on one thing:
Creative talent.
If you have IT, you have now worries. If you don’t, I’m going to eat your lunch. Evolution doesn’t stop just because you found a nice place to rest.
