Over the winter break I taught a two-week video editing workshop to some 18 year old kids who are on the autistic spectrum. I tried to be as hands-off as possible, acting as a producer to teach them the whole process from coming up with a concept, to shooting it, to editing it, to putting it online.
This video was their first creation - an entry in a video contest we found at www.onlinevideocontests.com. The winner will probably be picked soon - so watch this video and send it to friends and reblog and help these guys win some cash money!!
For the record, no one in this video has actually ever smoked pot before, we just thought the whole thing was funny and it’s silly to act high.
HELP THEM WIN THE CONTEST !!!!!
They are currently finishing their next project - a video-game inspired zombie short (which I act in and get killed in)…. coming soon… !!
Another cool video from the people over at knowphase.com. I don’t know anything about these people or this collective, what it is or what they do - but I like their style of videos.
Here’s what I like - obtaining obscure 70s or 80s found footage, and re-editing it with minor digital effects and tricks to make this already nostalgic cool footage look just a little bit cooler. Not over the top with effects, just small specific tweaks.
When I ponder the impossible question - what would it have been like if I had the internet and youtube and facebook when I was 15 years old ?? This video is my worst fears.
