BACKGROUND: Along
with his love of performing, David Aiken also has a passion for video
editing and geeking out on his Macintosh computer. In the fall of
2005 after purchasing the Final Cut Pro Production Suite (Apple Computer's
professional level video editing software) Dave found himself feeling
a little overwhelmed by the learning curve and decided to learn by
doing. The idea came into his head to produce a one minute videos
as often as he could and present these pieces on his website as a
way of not only having some fun with the new software he bought,
but also as a way of giving some insight into the often humorous
behind the scenes adventures that he gets up to. So, scroll down
through the various episodes, pick your favorite video format, then
sit back and Enjoy!
If you like these
little clips he's putting together and would like email notification

be more than happy to include you in all future mailings... You can
