First Finish



Well, to day was an exciting day for me.

I got to prep for "finishing" a spot I had been working on the last couple of days.

What exactly does this mean? Well, for those who don't know, I'm an assistant editor at a film trailer company. When a spot is prepped for finishing, that means it is going into syndication and needs to be properly prepared to the industry standards.

Yay! I finished my first spot. But originally, it wasn't by choice. An editor had walked away from the cut requested by the client, so I was approached to do it. It was nothing special - only a radio spot. What's that mean? No picture, only sound, since it plays on the radio (duh).

The other bummer? It's an international spot - so all of those in the good old U.S. won't hear it. Womp womp.

But, for those of you who are out there in foreign lands (I'm counting on you Paige), you have an chance to hear it!

Just keep your ears tuned for a J. Edgar spot to play on the radio - most likely it is mine.

Happy hunting!

Hopefully this means in the near future I'll be getting some actual TV spots finished. Wouldn't that be nice...
