Star Wars Uncut Rough

I’m excited to announce I’m the editor of Star Wars Uncut, a great database/collaborative film project by digital Jedi Casey Pugh. The job calls for bringing together close to 500 15-second re-enactments of scenes from Star Wars Episode IV. I’m pretty much in awe of the level of detail people have put into their work, the costumes, the robots, animation, the performances, and I’m having a blast working on it.

FBI Warning (via resetcounter)

I have utterly failed at making a long-form mixtape out of the 100+ celebrity workout videos I have acquired on VHS over the last three years. It’s just too big of a job to condense into one video. So I’ll be posting the best clips and edited sequences to this YouTube account over the next few months. Enjoy.
