DNC08 Slideshow

I’VE BEEN DEEP IN THE MIX for days and putting together the first video to come out of my DNC/RNC experiences. It will be about 20 – 25 minutes, a longer documentary than I’ve ever released to others, and probably not strict “documentary,” but it tells a story and it has fun doing so. Meanwhile, here’s a short slideshow of that same trip, put together by an amigo who was also there.

I’VE BEEN DEEP IN THE MIX for days and putting together the first video to come out of my DNC/RNC experiences. It will be about 20 – 25 minutes, a longer documentary than I’ve ever released to others, and probably not strict “documentary,” as really for that I would have needed to be shooting alllll the time, and would need a couple more weeks to finish it, which I don’t have as this editing time is time I am not getting paid. (I’m already veering into red areas and this is the struggle always when your thing is art.) Anyway, enough of that same old story, my point is that I’m almost done and I’m pretty happy with how its turning out. I can do short form, as you know, but in all honesty, I prefer to make videos at least 10 minutes long. I just feel you need a little time to get into people’s heads, into their hearts. Not that I have huge ambitions for this 20 minute doc. It’s more fun than momentous or masterful or anything. And of course, we know that short and simple can very often be strong, too. 

On that note, I offer you a slideshow of the DNC trip as put together by one of mis blogmigos. Video by Kai Chang.
