Well, it’s now been 6 months since the conclusion of a 14 day Grand Canyon trip which took place from December 27, 2008 – January 10 2009. I am happy to say that I am finished with this edit, now in its 5th incarnation. I’m satisfied as this was my first attempt at a full length feature, and I can say I chalked up a lot of experience with Final Cut and various other software. My editing has also become much quicker thanks to this project.

The beginning of the video you will see a short preview for my next full length project due out at the end of 2009 called the Grand Payoff. The project stemmed from this project in that I worked a seasonal job (Christmas trees in Atlanta) to fund my trip to the Grand Canyon and the 2009 season on the road. Once I started this project I realized there was a much larger story to tell and it will encompass several other “starving paddlers” and their stories of survival as a kayaker.
The great music in this video is thanks to a lot of great artists and you should check out their websites and buy their albums…or else.
More to follow soon as I have captured a lot of great footage from being on the road for the past 3 months. Look forward to getting back to the Southeast!
