This is a little experimental short film I made to accompany the music track which I created through a collaborative online community project, where several people share audio clips, and then all participants are encouraged to create a finished work with the pool of samples. This music bed was what I created. I then shot some footage of the acequia near Mission San Juan, as well as some other items in my home.

I’ve been working these last few months to move away from paid gigs as well as unsatisfying “collaboration” projects (I love to collaborate, but with the exception of maybe four or five people I often work with, most people misuse the word to mean those people they use to help round out their singular vision). I still have a few pesky obligations I need to extricate myself from, but I am using this increasingly unencumbered time  to do little personal projects which help me to better understand various editing programs I’m trying to learn. This particular piece made certain demands on me to dig deeper into Ableton, Max for Live, SpeedGrade, and Resolve.
