I signed up for TiVo back in late July, and in the last two months, I’ve been diving into the wild and frustrating world of digital video — all because I just wanted to edit out the commercials<\/a> from my downloaded TiVo files.
\nMy, how long we’ve come from taping off from live TV and pausing the tape during commercial breaks.
\nAfter a month of fiddling with various and sundry software, I started developing the notion that perhaps I can use these burgeoning video skills for something more ambitious.
\nLike, say, a music video. For Eponymous 4<\/a>.
\nWell, I just got back from a nighttime drive where I took my digital point-and-shoot camera and recorded six minutes of video. I put the camera on the dash, headed straight for the freeway and drove.
\nI could do something like draw a storyboard or something, but I think I’ll do this thing guerilla-style. I’m just going to shoot, shoot, shoot and see if I can make heads or tails of with what I end up.
\nI may need some larger flash memory cards.<\/p>\n

\n[UPDATE, Saturday.2006.09.16 20:48] Huh. And here I thought I was going to take hours worth of footage, and cut something up. Instead, I took the six minutes of driving and spliced it up every which way.
\nI made up the editing as I went along, and I think some parts are a little clever. Most of it just screams "cheap!"
\nBut hey — nighttime drive, introspective piano piece … pretty obvious combination no?
