morgandawnAnother post from sherrold in 1996. This is the day she and Nicole were caught gawking at the amazing flying editing machines.
"Nicole and I took a vid editing class at the local avant-garde non-profit video-art co-op here in town (what, you mean your town doesn't have one?), and had a great time.
We were taking a straight-cuts, inline editing class (definitions available upon request), but we also got to wander through their other editing suites, including the $60,000 PC-based editing room. Ooh, it was sweet! Beyond the ease of doing dissolves, and the precision possible with such a system, this particular system had NO VIDEO LOST in transfer: no pixelation, no 'going down a generation' while transferring to the computer, and then another generation lost getting it back out of the computer. My little heart was going pitter-patter.
My theory is, if it is available today for $60,000, in 18 months it will be $6,000, and 600$ 18 months after that. It is closer than I ever thought it was and (needless to say) I WANT ONE!
Though, even as we were having a great time, I realized: If you have nothing interesting to say (and you use crappy music to say it), your vids are still going to be bad, even if you use the coolest editing toys in the world to create it. "
