I remember it like it was yesterday. I was in the editing lab with my best friend, Stephon, adding the finishing touches to our video assignment. Nothing too exciting, just a five minute short for class. We always took the video assignments with a grain of salt, no matter how hard we tried, we got overlooked for video of the week. It was such a popularity contest. Sure, we didn’t know all the editing tricks in Final Cut but with my knack for storytelling and his techniques with the camera, we usually ended up in second or third. Right behind the photoshop nerds, their meme videos are the furthest thing from funny, or the Twins, the loins from a pair of actors. They aren’t even A-List actors, so I still don’t understand the obsession.
