APEX PRODUCTIONS - Key Persons
Paul Waide, now he's a different story. When his first grade teacher asked him what he wanted to be when he grew up he replied, "A digital non-linear editor, using state of the art computer based equipment." "But Paul, none of that stuff has been invented yet!" she replied. "I'll wait" was his answer. "Wow, an editor with patience and vision" she said, "this I want to see". So he waited, taking 35mm stills, shooting 8mm films, feeding punch cards into the mainframe. And he waited some more, working in every two bit cable station, and small broadcast facility that would let him in. Then it happened one day in the hallway of WPEC TV-12, he overheard the news director telling a frustrated cameraman…No Money, No Time, Get it done. "Hey Paul" Andy said, "If I get a camera, and you get one of those new non-linear edit things, maybe we could make some good stuff, and some money too." " It'll never work, but let's try anyway" was his answer.
