Q: Briefly tell us about how you made your film or video.

A: I shot THE UNDERMINER with the Panasonic DVX100A, 24P. Since Mike plays both characters, we would shoot the Underminer's side first and when we'd get a take we were happy with, play it back on video for him to react against in his role as the Undermined. I edited it on Final Cut Pro, which I find to be a hideously schlocky editing system, but since I had to resize a couple of shots to fit the split screen better, I was forced to use it instead of Avid (that's the one thing FCP [Final Cut Pro] does do better).
