Neither Alicia nor I had ever used programs such as Final Cut or Dreamweaver. We had both used Photoshop a little bit before this class but never in as much depth. April 18, 2011 by ajohnson13.

If I could sum up this project in three words I would say patience, dedication, and exploration. This was my first time shooting video and editing through Final Cut Pro. Although it required an incredible amount of time and patience and just a hint of frustration I am glad we were able to learn how to use this program. 1 Check every single setting before shooting.

A family friend completely lost their house near Far Rockaway - the water just swept it away into the ocean. I live in a very elevated area, far removed from any bodies of water. The biggest problem we faced was the wind - boy was it fierce! At times, it sounded like a low flying airplane or massive truck rumbling down Broadway. I had to walk downtown to an appointment earlier today as the MTA.
