A Place For Me To Dump Random Stuff

I wish I could get hired to shoot video

It really just seems like you are standing at the base of Everest when you have an Idea for a video and ZERO budget. Thinking about the pre-pro to me is like driving through Kansas, its just never ending. Just miles you have to cover to get to the other side. The goal of traveling though Kansas is to get to the other side by the way.

Ive started just shooting whatever with no expectations on what the finished product is going to look like. It makes it so much easier to point your camera in a direction and push the record button. Sometimes you get some cool stuff.

Its kinda fun to look at what you made after the fact and create something. I made this in a few hours one night. Reminds me of just getting a camera for the first time. The photos were shit, but plenty. There is something to just not working about it and finishing the video. I called this one the Clinton Canvas.
