Planning with The Quiff Brothers

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LRnPhnH7RS4

This is a 8 minute edited sequence that was originally going to appear for a long period of time during the planning section but because of the 15 minute time limit only a short clip was shown briefly.
Even though this wasn't used it was useful because it allowed me to practice with video syncing.

I found this video looked quite proffesional when put together

Intertitle Render Screenshots

These are matted Intertitles for laying on any piece of footage I need.
I have also made it into a template so it is easy to edit and re-render for different interviewees.
