Django Django – WOR
from Jim Demuth on Vimeo.
A well told, well edited short documentary about the people who drive the wall of death.
Stuart Firestein: The pursuit of ignorance
An interesting talk on the importance of thinking of questions rather than knowing answers. As knowledge increases so the number of questions increases. Learning is one thing but a feedback system is more interesting.

Health care in danger: The human cost
A documentary worth watching.
On having a dedicated machine used for nothing but video editing.
My editing machine has a minimum of things installed on it. Final Cut Pro and related software, nothing else. The point is that when I am editing I am dedicated to that single task. I take breaks when it is rendering or when I need time to digest the edit so far.
When I was editing over a decade ago I would mark 10 in and out points and then go and drink some ice tea while the machine assembled the footage. Later when I moved to desktop editing I would let the computer render and take a break. Today with the current system taking breaks is based on scene completion.
That’s how a friend and I worked on our fiction film over a period of weeks. Right now the rough cut is ready. We need to add music, improve the sound, colour correct and more but at least a big step was taken.
