Creating an alternative universe

Hey Peeps,
I can't tell you how powerful the departure into the editing world is for me. It's a place where you are able to examine the begining stages of a project in a different way. One goes into a shoot armed with equipment, harware, images in mind that will help paint the picture of the story they are telling. Then in the editing room it exists in your head. Well of course you have a screen playing back the footage, but the people are no longer there. The physical extension of the project is gone. You relive a moment but in a different location, late at night (usually.) You are living in a slightly altered reality, cutting a pasting these moments creating an alternative reality. Sometimes parallel, other times reverse. I love every part of this process, from the head with the idea, physical with the camera/locations/people, back in the head with editing, now in the physical with a product. Here is the first video for Chega De Saudade. Please have a peek, share, comment, whatever moves you.

This is my first post so, Hello! I wanted to show you something before I wrote on here. More soon. Thank you for visiting.


Best,
Stephen
