And so it began...

The year was 2002, I just turned 14 and for my birthday my dad bought me my first camcorder. (Key word, my) I remember my dad picking me up from school early and going to Circuit City and buying my first Sony 8mm Camcorder. It's funny how when I reflect on my experience, how I have progressed with new types of technology, from 2002 my first 8mm camcorder, 3 years later my 1st mini-DV camcorder (Samsung), and now I own a JVC Everio with a 30 G HD, and Canon AX A1 (successor to the XL2) Even back in 2002 I was making my own movies, just stupid stuff I would do with my buddies, like skateboarding or running around outside. But it was not until 2005 I started to edit my videos, I bought my first firewire card, which came with a trial version of Ulead VideoStudio. I learned everything on my own, then eventually I learned Windows Movie Maker, which is alright. Now.....6 years later I am editing with Avid and Final Cut, filming TV shows, and interning at a TV station. With all of this experience I have, I look forward to the future in TV production, especially my dream of becoming an ENG Operator for a news station
