$2Mil budgeted feature film shot entirely on HD.  I had the honor of working with Oscar nominated director John Hancock at the Filmacres production company.  I was assistant editor under Dennis O'Connor, an industry veteran (I attribute my use of the trackball to Denis).  I learned a lot from him and thank him for his great story-telling abilities and the patience to show me some great tricks of the trade.

It was with this movie that I became very acquainted with the Avid editing system.  We were using version 7.0.2 of the software.  We had some major hardware issues that I was able to fix.

Here is a true story.  For the first several months of production on Suspended Animation, I was the only one in the editing room and it was my duty to see that things got taken care of, especially when it came to "THE GOLD" (HD masters).  When Dennis O'Connor flew in from Hollywood in mid April, 2001 we walked into the editing room together for the first time and he immediately turned to me and, after seeing the organization of the shelf system containing the HD Masters, said "I would like to shake your hand.  That's the best organization I've ever seen."  Which was a great compliment coming from such a veteran of the movie making business.

I took great care from the very beginning to make sure that everything was labeled, logged, and easy to find.  I've always believed that organization is the key component to an efficient editing room.
