thought while editing

When I'm editing, it seems contradictory that I am sometimes pleased by badly filmed scenes, as it feels productive to delete them. It feels concentrated and focused to cut an hour of film down to five minutes. But if that entire hour of film is high-quality footage, then cutting it down is a hard process.

Out of Control : Guest Video of the Day

From vimeo.com, video by Jakob Lodwick. He wrote:
"*TURN UP YOUR SPEAKERS*"
"I've wanted to make a video with Reggie for about six months; we finally made it happen last night. It couldn't have been a more pleasant experience -- I couldn't be happier with the end result."

Yellow Wind in Seoul




"Yellow Wind" refers to the wind which comes from China bearing sand of the Gobi desert mixed with toxic particles. Every year around March, this wind blankets much of South Korea and parts of Japan, along with China's own cities, like Beijing. Traces of the wind have been known to reach the west coast of North America. This film was shot from an apartment window in Seoul.
