Title: A Psyburn Original Documentary

Hey guys, basically this documentary is called "A CALL TO URBAN MINISTRY" which was shot by a teacher at my school. Basically the footage was so bad that nobody could put it together. So, he asked me to edit it, and well I did my best. Sound quality sucks, lots of shaky camera, I know.

He gave me a script, which I used half way up until the first bible verse or whatever. After that it was just a bunch of narration(that makes absolutely no sense) and ACTION POINTS, it just wasn't good. So, I asked him to rewrite it with the interview portions he wanted to use and he just gave me areas he wanted included. So, I just mashed all those together at the last minute.

No religious debates please, seriously.

Yeah seriously no religious debates at all.

I don't think it is misleading, Strangeluv. It says "Psyburn"

It was changed, it was originally "A GW Original Documentary"

That was pretty cool. Since you were only an editor on it there's no point going in depth on the content side, so it's best to just comment on your editing. And it was fairly decent, of course there were some minor things that needed changing (one bit of voice-over comes to mind) but you seemed to have handled things pretty well, organised things pretty well and the finished product is sweet. It might've been better with a bit more variety in places but yeah.

How long did you take to make this? I seem to remember you talking about this many a month ago.

I agreed to do this like in October. I worked on it a lot for like a week or two, got stuck, and got lazy for what, 7 months? Than all of a sudden I just slapped on everything together at the end.

Thanks for the crits man, appreciate it.
