Edit training for Surfing at 70 Short Film at Saunton Sands

James Davis is a North Devon local surfer. Now there's nothing unusual in that...there are hundreds of surfers in the area. But where James differs is that he is 70 years old and still surfing strong on a Stand Up Paddleboard.

James has been filming himself with GoPro cameras and the assistance of local videographer Richard Gregory with an aim to making a short film about surfing in his 70's.

However, despite having worked as a photographer for years, James has never edited a film so we have been giving him a couple of introductory lessons in how to cut, splice, synch, title and grade a film. As well as teaching we have also assisted in converting his GoPro footage to a file format that works natively with his editing software to make it easier for him to work on his own computer.

James is now completing the edit along with more help from Richard at Wavedreamer and you can watch the finished films on Vimeo.

If you have a film project and need help getting it onto DVD or Blu-ray then please get in touch with us at Maniac Films or check out our DVD & Blu-ray services for more information. We offer BDCMF conversion services or Blu-ray replication, English Caption creation as well as high quality Digital Cinema (DCP) encoding for Film Festivals and Digital Cinema Release.
