not another football highlights video

how does someone maintain interest in football highlights? am i losing the intended audience if i play with effects too much? reverse? clever (or not so clever) juxtapositions?



i could be a little more conscious of my pacing in this video.

everything that happens will happen today

tim exton at gametapes shot the video footage and i made a montage set to david byrne's song from everything that happens happens today. it could be shorter but the song is long. maybe i should have picked a different song and stick to the pretty shots?



also, i must consider my boss had me do this for a friend. what if they don't like david byrne? but then again, who doesn't like david byrne?

sports video

i am doing an internship with gametapes.com, a company that focuses on high school and college sports. how did i get into this? i'm a video guy.

also, the boss is very encouraging and is okay with lending me equipment for other projects. i might post some of that jazz later on.



my friend Rob said to me: interesting exercise. A stutter-cut effect would work well in there somewhere (kind of like what you did with the freeze and backward cuts). If you have a little more time with the equipment, you could turn that clip into a showcase for a much wider range of editing tricks. Start simple, the way you've done, then keep building more and more crazy shit. As it is, it looks like you had a good idea but couldn't quite fill all the space.

as a local seattle videographer, i am always open to criticism, positive or negative. many people i feel welcome criticism when they don't really want it but i am authentically welcome so drop me a line if you have something to say. and of course, if you have work of your own i am happy to return the favor!
