My Best Advice videos were online before the deadline, and people were impressed with my speedy and effective editing methods. Caleb actually introduced me to producers as a "Final Cut blackbelt." It was at this point where I emailed Joel Katz, Lou Libitz, and everyone that I learned with at NJCU thanking them for giving me this experience.
From this point on, I was given responsibilities to edit videos that CNNMoney would actually use actively (the other interns' work was basically put on the site for viewing, while mine were sent to CNN to use on the website and on the air). Clips from the Christine Whitman interview were aired on CNN several times.
I was definitely honored and excited to have finally found something I'm good at and don't mind doing.
Here are the rest of the full length videos I worked on:
The Chris Anderson video was a bit of a chore. Apparently there was a lot of controversy with his book, and they wanted me to bring it out more. So after it was published, I had to pull it off the site, recut it, add some questions into it, take some things out. Also, I made the opening intro.
I'm quite proud of the water effects I used on the American Water video.
This video was fun to edit, because Caleb said he wanted it to be exciting, and he wanted it to "pull you in." That's when I found the opening clip, and he apparently thought it was so exciting that he wanted his boss and the reporter to give it an O.K. before it got published. This made me feel happy because he wanted emotions, and I was able to stir it out of him with my editing. Since I want to get into narrative storytelling, I thought this was a good sign.
Finally, here is a promo I edited for Fareed Zakaria GPS:
