Headed West

My mind is on the tracks, my friend My trumpet’s blown its course And heaven forgive, I’m headed west It’s the way of the sun and the source I’ve drummed from bounty’s brimming cup I’ve supped the luck I’m due And with timeliness and fire afoot Go ask my marching crew — Fol-de-rol, Johnny Flynn

An oddly personal TSA appraisal

The transport security officer rifles my carry-on luggage, removing an oversized bottle of after-sun. He peels back a plastic bag revealing a loose, damp swimsuit piece and leans in toward me, smiling knowingly. I can tell you’re the adventurous type.   I don’t think you mind roughing it.

What does an editor actually do?

I love this video. The role of the editor is often misunderstood and subsequently devalued but as you can see explained below, our contribution to the piece is crucial.

Marvellously subtle and detailed animation by Dave Penn (sixfingers) and equally delightful sound design by James Locke-Hart.

The video is promoting online training in the craft of the edit.
