I worked on a video about Graham Dunning, a British DJ who builds a setup for a performance he calls “Mechanical Techno.” It’s really brilliant. This was the second video I made at the beginning of my internship and it was challenging in fun ways. I learned how to make subtitles, how to rewind/speed up video, and organizational strategies for when I’m working with a lot of footage. Below is a screenshot of the finished video, posted to Facebook.
