About this blog
This is my personal blog which I started in 2003. At first it was called Communigations, a variation on Communicative Investigations. The blog transformed itself more into a personal investigation than being a blog on communication and therefore needed a new name.As a fencer, the name of this blog reflects how I write my thoughts into coherent stories, fence them off from all the sidepaths and rapidly go back and forth, covering various topics that interest me.

Tiny Chunky Learning (36)
It could be the name of a new flavour by B&J’s, but in this case it’s how I would describe my learning path in Final Cut, THE video editing software for Mac. I’ve bought it in June, to gain more flexibility and possibilities in video editing compared to iMovie ‘09.
I’ve learned to work with Adobe Premiere back at university in ‘98-’99, but a decade later it’s hard to remember most of what I learned about pro-editing. So when I first opened Final Cut, I was overwhelmed with all the different windows, filters, settings and everything else.
To make the learning path within the programme more manageable, I think of the next thing that I would like to discover and think of a small video I could produce, to learn how to do that. So yesterday I thought of a thing to film which I could speed up. And speeding a clip up or slowing it down appears to be soooo easy
Learning in tiny chunks, or taking baby steps. It’s the only way to progress
