Swifty Video – PG rated!

I had the good fortune to spend a week at the Maine Media Workshops recently. I was there for a course in video editing with Final Cut Pro. Shooting and creating a video was not on the agenda, but it was a small class and the instructor, Josh Povec, tossed out the idea of shooting our own video rather than using “canned” clips.

Then Josh dangled some bait. He knew a local fellow named Swifty, who restores antique fire engines. Promises of interesting eye candy and quirky quotes accompanied the offer. That was just too good to pass up. I am always interested in meeting someone out of the ordinary. As it turned out, Swifty would make a suitable captain on the good ship Quirky Characters.

To my great astonishment, the other folks attending our class were not interested in Maine characters and antique fire engines. It was just Josh and I for the morning. Swifty did not disappoint. Helluva guy, as my dad would say. It was another fun day with a camera, except this time it was a video camera.

Enjoy.
