Video, Editing and Editing

Today I'm editing one video piece from last weekend at a poetry event in Denver: "100,000,000 Dead Poets for Spare Change;" and a video of my own, about running and more specifically about one runner. This is a still from one of the running locations in the foothills west of Denver.

This video follows Lauren from her first days running - something she swore she'd never do - to her first half-marathon, mere weeks after the start of training. The race is a trail race in Fort Collins that's not only her first race but a strenuous course and what she discovers has at least one section called the "F-you hill."

There's a little more to shoot for this, but the majority is done. I'm working on adding a lot of information to the short with text overlays and I'm excited for the final piece. 

Stay tuned for the final, see if she makes it to or even completes the race, and what motivates someone to run trails after a lifetime of hating to run. As for the Dead Poets, there's a metal band, a lot of tape to cut through, and a lot of Artists for change, but I'm wrapped up for today and will get back to both soon...
