If you’ve ever tried to make a film then you might know that the editing is only part of the job!! 

Alongside cutting, mixing and adding voice-over are all sorts of other tasks like making sure you have the correct credits for the film, getting permission to use the music, and not least telling people about the DVD!

One of the big jobs is always designing the DVD cover. As this is the first impression that many people get of the DVD, it’s a pretty important undertaking! I’m lucky that Canoeroots magazine and Rapid magazine are sponsoring “This is Canoeing” so Beth Kennedy, their designer, has been working hard on the DVD cover for the last couple of weeks. I know she’s also working hard finishing designing the upcoming magazine issues so I’m really grateful to her for doing such a good job and for politely making revisions and then more revisions when I’m sure she’s really busy! I’m also grateful for the comments of those people who I sent earlier versions of the cover to, everyone has helped to create a cover that I’m really excited about.

So here it is – I hope you like it! 

Over the next few days I need to finish the editing, complete an update of my website which Derrick Mayoleth and I have been working hard on over the last few months, and get a preview clip up on the internet. So watch this space!
