My ‘designer tee’s’ clip

Back in the day when I was a humble design student, I did a animation design and offline editing for TVNZ and a few advertising agencies. These were fantastic opportunites and my first real taste of a freelance lifestyle.
Offline editing is when you splice your video using ‘tape to tape’ editing suites. Many long hours would be spent in a dark editing suite editing (and re-editing) video and audio.
Video production has always been an interest of mine. Hence I always strive to keep up with new techniques and trends.
The digital revolution has made the offline editing process immeasurably quicker, as practitioners moved from time-consuming linear (tape to tape) suites, to computer hardware and software. Witness my latest AV creation produced in it’s entirety within half a day. Whew!
