Telling stories in documentary style but in music video form. Day job is in broadcast television, has been for almost 42 years. When I first started editing, electronic editing hadn't been invented yet. I would join two pieces of 2 inch wide videotape with not much more then scotch tape and play back to the network. Edit pulses were viewed through a microscope. The tools sure have changed, my vision hasn't.
