Untitled blog post from "macro & micro"

I've just been snatching the odd minute here and there during the past few weeks to finish off my videos and soundtracks started in NYC, other commitments getting in the way.

Considering the lack of quality time to dedicate to my work, the results have been surprising. The most exciting aspect has been creating sound that works with the images. I mostly adapted field recordings, adopting a similar approach to the one I use for video editing.

Never knowing the end result and letting the creative process guide the outcome has allowed each video to take on a life of its own... strangely similar to the way I paint.

I do bear in mind though that I may just be making the best of the material I have and if I had set out to make the videos (in their final form) they may be very different and perhaps more successful, but that seems to be the job of a film-maker, not an experimental video-artist.
