i wanted to do video editing awhile back. that was once my career aspiration. jon permutation three point one as it were. i wanted to do music videos, commercials, films, whatever. at some point i decided that wasn't for me. for one i wasn't trained in it enough to be anything but a grunt for a long time. and although now i realize a grunt is the way it works when you're young and inexperienced (generally speaking), i wasn't ready to committ to something that i wasn't sure i would love. i love video editing but only when i get to create the whole thing. i can sit in a lab without moving for days on end when caught up in front of an editing station but when it comes to a job, or maybe to editing something that i don't really like, i couldn't see myself wanting to edit it and giving everything the same amount of energy that i would have if something were purely mine. and so, video editing was out. the new career was in. what new career you ask? fuck if i knew. but i did know that it wasn't going to be video editing.



the editing on this madlib video is ridiculous. this is the type of stuff that i would have wanted to do. the style, the graphics, the artist, the everything. i love it. and so that means you should love it too.
