Robin's Movie Editing...

I'm currently editing a performance video called NO LIMITS for the Kennedy Center. NO LIMITS was shot on the new Canon HF20 flash camera in MTS format and converted into 1080p59.94 to edit in Final Cut Pro. This solid-state $900 HD camera is smaller than a can of soda pop. Plugs into USB and shows up as a disk drive. Another project, THE ORACLE is a DVD I'm editing that reveals clues in the Bible to stop the apocalypse. BAD KITTY, the Funny or Die video I'm editing about an adorable yet vicious cat, is with the composer and will go to the sound editor next as soon as I get the tracks.

If you know anyone looking for a picture editor for their movie, episodic, video, or reel, send them my way. I have a crew of people I work with, so the same goes if anyone needs a composer, a sound editor, and so forth.
