.. and voilà! iMovie to the rescue, had nver used film editing before, and made no less than three short (documentary type) movies that were paid for by clients.
That was so easy. Because the hard part is telling stories, getting rid of crust, knowing when not to overdo it, and having the vision…
Nothing that a tool will give you, but if you have it (my work partner had it) then the sky is the limit.

(me being a reformed computer geek, that is my advice)
Computers are tools, and could be empowering tools.
I have a Mac. And I have stopped tinkering, swearing against things that go crash, or weird behaviours, and wasting time making things work. Since I got to USE a Mac to do things I have:
Made three movies (that were paid for by clients, and I had never done filming and editing before)
Created a brochure (that was paid for client, and I had never done DTP and vector drawing before)
Managed all my photos easily (the 7000 of them, all tagged and, sorry, not on flickr, lazy me)
Been a beta tester for amaeing apps that help me make cooler things.
Learned to do the web and the blog things
Landed a job at the Mac making company, no less.

I consider myself not a geek anymore, but a creative guy using a Mac to be more efficient and creative!
