Robot Monday

Mashup Lost & Found 2007 from velocorapture on Vimeo.

The whim to make movies for my own enjoyment has lapsed a bit since the thirst was slaked by an avalanche of WORS videos. I’m hoping to free myself a bit and start up a WORS remixed video series for any and all who share the editing bug. And maybe to get around to editing some of my own fair-weather footage, for nostalgia’s sake. In the meantime, I spliced and uploaded the mashup from 2007’s Lost and Found DVD. The theme that year was ROBOTS. Or, maybe, that my job was sucking my soul out of my eyeballs. You can be the judge.

I had a poster of MLK at the Washington Monument up in my lab, with the note to self: “My heroes had the heart.” The theme for L&F 2008 and 2009 (as yet incomplete) is NATURE. I’ve been out in it, and am about to get back to it in the black freezing fog this MLK day. And you know how I mean that. Peace.

Big ups to my cousin for sharing these selections.
