Creating Films

As a hobby I also enjoy creating, editing and watching film, over the years I have created various movies on my own and with friends. Besides that I also make some flight simulator films of which the footage is obtained using a screen capture of the flightsim software. Most of my films are edited on an educational license of Final Cut Pro 6, a video editing software I myself love to use.
