About me...

When it comes to a topic like video editing, one should probably know a bit about the person they're taking advice from. So let's start...

My name is Caitlin. I'm university student majoring in journalism with a background in communication studies. I started video editing when I was 11 years old when my family bought their first video camera and now, at age 21, I have learned much about the topic of modern digital video editing.

I'll admit, it was not until five years ago that I even knew anything about the concept of a "fandom", "fanvid", or the video editing craze that would explode across the internet with the creation of Youtube. But I have since been sucked into this artistic world and have experimented thoroughly with many of the tools that modern technology has to offer.

It is my hope with this blog to give you an insiders look into the world of digital video editing and subcultures that have arisen around this art. Though you may not believe me right now, you'll soon see this is a far more controversial and exciting topic than any non-geek would have expected.
