Review:  Exercise from Ralph

Shooting anything can offer some issues with time management.  But, I wanted to share thoughts about editing with those of you who are experienced and those of you who are less experienced in editing.  To that end I have taken several shots from an art workshop for the mentally ill done on spec (without a defined client) in 2016.  There should be enough to do a short sequence and to experience whatever edit program you chose to use. Let’s share whatever we have on Thursday.  If you can do it on your phone, you won’t have to make an appointment with your computer.  

Here is a link to the edit software and a music resource:
