Slicing It Up!

I've been refining my editing skills one step at a time on Final Cut Express over the past year or so. I really enjoy editing - so when my boyfriend offered me an opportunity to participate in his friendly competition of fellow editors for Pizza Month 2008, I gladly accepted the challenge.

He had edited about 20 pizza videos throughout the month of October and was happy to turn some of them over to his friends for their take. As you may recall, I edited this one a last month...



I spent a good chunk of today slicing and splicing footage for Pizza Day #18, which was our first day on the Chicago leg of Pizza Month 2008. We were supposed to go to Geno's, but because of a misunderstanding with the directions, accidentally ended up at Giordanno's, one of Chicago's largest and seemingly most plentiful deep dish pizza chains. What a mistake it turned out to be...and how!

Reviewing the footage brought back some stomach-churning memories, but I got through the footage like a champ and here's what my efforts yielded.
