Marissa's OWN Show

Click here.

This is something I shot and edited for a friend with high aspirations. Basically, there's a contest put on by Oprah where you can upload a video of yourself and win your OWN (Oprah Winfrey Network) show. I'm still learning about everything here, and if I had it to do over again I would have shot with both cameras on widescreen instead of two different formats. But I'll always find things to make better next time, and I was on a deadline so it's done and I think it looks pretty good. As for the work that went into this, we shot about 50 minutes of footage and I cut it down to three - which isn't because she's rambling or anything, I just wanted more to choose from.

So if you find yourself watching this video, please vote for it because Marissa could get me a job if she makes it big. If not, then at least I'm getting more comfortable with my equipment.
