Geek My Ride 2004: Final Cut Pro "Edit on the Fly" Competition

To show that the Geek My Ride Lexus actually had a functioning Final Cut Pro Editing Suite, we ran a contest at Macworld Boston 2004, where the contestants had to edit their Macworld-themed entry completely in the car.

The contest rules:

  • 50% of the footage has to be from Macworld
  • All editing has to be done in the car from raw footage
  • Each contestant has 90 minutes to edit in the car
  • Winners awarded based on originality, entertainment value, and technical skill

And the winners are:

1st Place: Arnon Shorr of OxRock Productions, who won a LaCie 250GB Firewire 400/800 drive

2nd Place: Paul Boggs from Virginia, who won a Brenthaven bag of his choice

3rd Place: Ross Paffett of Paffett Productions, who won a Tech Superpowers limited edition baseball cap

Honorable Mention: Max Lewontin for youngest Final Cut Pro Editor (12 years old), who won a Tech Superpowers T-shirt

Steve Garfield, from the Boston Final Cut Pro Users group did two as well.
