I'm originally from San Jose, California and have been enjoying shooting and editing videos since the 90's. Recently I've moved to the Seattle, Washington area and work for Amazon Web Services as an Systems Development Manager, my opinions are my own.
Q: Which camera(s) do I shoot with?
I shoot with whatever Camera I have with me (iPhone, Canon SLR, Nikon Point and Shoot, or GoPro)
Q: What software do I edit with?
I usually edit with Final Cut Pro X. In the past I've used iMovie, Premier, and occasionally do some visuals in Motion or After Effects. Photoshop is sometimes in the mix, depending on what I need.
Q: How did I learn to edit?
I first started editing with two VCRs, moved up to a linear editing system on 3/4" tape in college, used the early cinema software on the Mac Performa line, jumped all over iMovie when it came out on the iMac DV, and then fell in love with Final Cut Pro 3 around 2001.
