You don’t need a ridiculous amount of money to make something remotely interesting. I did this as a test of the various products i used to create it. I do not enjoy using Windows Movie Maker but I’m learning how to master use of it. At the end of the day, for me it’s knowlegde of how to use the tool more so then the actual tool used, if that makes any sense.
This video is in one shot. I generally don’t dig video that involves mostly close up shots of an artist. I wanted to toy with this and see how I could make this singular shot work. It’s crazy. It took a lil while to edit this piece to my liking. I I can only imagine being just as meticulous about the edits of multiple shots. Insanity is the word that comes to mind but is necessary to fabricate some art.
My idea for the official video of ’Air Wave’ is this black and white, high contrast piece shot mostly during the day. A chain wielding grumpy lil kid walks around with me.
Video shot with Kodak HD Zi8

I was a lil bugged out in the wee hours coming up with it. I was in Davinci mode. Total tunnel vision to get that done. Thanks for taking time to respond No Alias

Thanks for stopping by and leaving the DM too. Idea for the official video is basic black and white high contrast day time scenes. There will be chains involved…

Good work man… Limited resources always breed the greatest triumphs… You gotta use what you got, and what you usually find, is what you’ve got is more than enough to make an impact…
Keep it up sir!

Pretty cool. I especially dig that you’re writing about the artistic process of learning the equipment and telling us what equipment you’re using. That could prove to be helpful for a lotta folks.
PS – I can’t hand down my Timbs. I wear em till they’re worn out.
