Last summer on one of my random editing kicks, I shot some footage of my XJ8 at the car wash to play with. This was actually based off of another editing exercise that I'd done a few years prior, titled Split Wash. While I've always regarded these projects as take-it-or-leave-it style videos, I still believe there's something fascinating about editing for the sake of editing. To create something specifically to look at it in a different way.
I'm not reinventing the wheel here, but I feel like I've explained my desire to create random edits like this in a previous write up, "...the idea behind shorts like this isn't about masked themes, but about appreciating the digital medium and editing technique by taking a forced look. Just as a painter might fill a canvas for the tactile experience of seeing the streaks and runs in drying colours of paint, these editing experiments serve a similar purpose for further nurturing my personal appreciation for the technical execution of editing".
