I found this video while I was going through some old hard drives yesterday. I made it for a friend while I was in Los Angeles for my sister’s graduation. I edited it using whatever software my sister’s boyfriend uses, so it has some very basic cuts and dissolves.

Another couple of smaller films I wanted to discuss on this idea come out of a more recent experimental film tradition that embraces a more low budget, personal approach to film making and hence the movies are generally less epic (but this by no means makes them any better or worse).

Recently some had talked to me about experimental videos based on landscapes. She told me that she loved to just shoot landscapes and edit them together. She is not alone, there are lots of films and videos that take this approach.
