Not a surprise for me, but many others weren’t so keen on the idea of having to learn After Effects, while they were still learning Avid - Bunim Murray had switched from Final Cut Pro a year or two earlier. During the first editors meeting for Bad Girls Club, a show I help edit, it was loosely described as “look to the future of our world, editing isn’t just editing anymore.” Fast forward to the fall of 2013 where I am a newly promoted television editor working primarily on software applications like Avid Media Composer, and Adobe’s After Effects and Photoshop. I then moved on from Cinema 4D to NLEs: Final Cut, Premiere, After Effects, etc. This was all within the timeframe of Releases 7 through 9. So I began learning Cinema 4D in school where at the time (2001 – 2004) BodyPaint 3D had made its inaugural debut just one year earlier, Thinking Particles were released, and soon the MoGraph module would be introduced.

My interests suddenly perked and I realized I wanted to create using the coding, not be the one coding, and become a video editor.Īs I was learning all about the difference between scanlines, hard drive platters, After Effects and Photoshop – I found a software program called Maxon Cinema 4D. However, I did see the power of graphics in a computer science from a graphics course where I learned how hard it was to program a teapot with color and shading using Java.

I was eager to learn every piece of software, all the tools, and every piece of theory I could get my hands on.Īt first I was a Computer Science major, where I quickly learned I did not want to create arrays the rest of my life. I attended California Lutheran University in the little California suburb of Thousand Oaks. Bumin Murray editor Brady Betzel calls this newest version “a beast of a release.”Īs we breached the 21 Century, I began my career in post production.
