It's nice to know I'm not alone out in the editorial world

There are a whole series of these videos popping up online and they make me laugh and cringe all at once. After 10+ years in the film and tv world, I'm happy to see folks are saying exactly what I've thought on many occasions.  Venting is a form of healing and why not do it w/strange, animated bunnies?

A little reminder of why I do what I do

Back in 2003, I had an amazing opportunity to work on a film called "November" which made it all the way to Sundance and won the Best Cinematography award. The hours were long, the learning curve was sometimes intimidating, but the reward of working with so many creative minds on a great project was priceless. I just came across this clip on Greg Harrison's (director) blog and it brought a smile to my face. As you watch this behind the scenes clip, it will be obvious to you why I love to edit and hope to work on more features in the near future. Editing is often a very lonely endeavor. Independent filmmaking often doesn't pay the bills. However, I would never trade the creative rewards in this kind of project for any amount of money.
Trying to find post-production work in a non-industry town like Seattle is definitely a challenge. However, I'm glad to have little bits of inspiration like this sprinkling in to keep me going on the daily quest for the next great gig! This clip also reminds me that for all of it's negatives, Los Angeles really is a town of some incredibly creative people in all regards.
