Aaron Valdez

My name is Aaron Valdez, I grew up in Texas and now live in Ann Arbor, Michigan. I make videos about the internet and television for Wreck & Salvage. I like old film, worn out VHS, digital glitches, Precious Moments statues, Tootsie Roll Pops, warm bus rides, long sleeve shirts, and pull-ups. All of my work is available here.

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.
