I’ve had the Isaw A2<\/a> for a while now and I was thinking I might post you some of my better videos. Only problem is, they’re all pretty crap. You really can’t blame the camera for that. It takes amazing video and puts up with a lot of crap from me (like dropping it onto concrete getting out of the car). No, the problems with my video are two fold, poor video and editing skills (that’s one, not two okay) and no babes. As my post recently proved<\/a>, there is almost no topic too dull that can’t be saved with the addition of babes.<\/p>\n

I do have this cool photo though:<\/p>\n

The good thing about still images is they don’t require any edited to retain their brevity. That photo is one in a series. I took it using the burst mode setting, which snaps 30 pics quick smart. (Bragging rights: the Go Pro White snaps 3 frames in burst mode. Hmmmm. Costs a lot more too.) In my younger days I was a short story writer and brevity was much discussed (though often ignored). I always thought you could take a good story and make it better by cutting and then cutting and then when you thought there was nothing left to cut…yep, cut again. Too bad my blogging lacks the same discipline. And my movie editing.<\/p>\n

I begin to see how Quentin Tarantino<\/a> movies are soooo long. Word has it that Pulp Fiction<\/a> was originally edited in a different sequence, in chronological order, with the movie ending with the death of Vincent, one of the main characters. Producers (read: the guys with power and money) didn’t like that so it got re-edited into it’s current format. That story might be complete bullshit but it does highlight the fact that external pressures to cut shit can be good when moving images are concerned. Too fucking bad his reputation as auteur prevents any decent leverage to edit his latter films. Rumours are this guy<\/a> was just supplying people who wanted to sit through Django Unchained<\/a>.<\/p>\n

And so to my movies. This first is shot in the realist tradition and expresses mans desire to transcend the meaninglessness of his dull existence.<\/p>\n
