I love traveling. Driving long distances through corn fields and mountains, crossing rivers and state lines from morning to night, seeing new places and familiar landmarks from well-trodden routes, eating fast food and sampling local sodas at gas stations––It’s just a blast for me. Lately I’ve been trying to capture the essence of those trips on video. Last winter I shot my families exodus from Detroit to Chicago, and this spring I tried to capture a trip from Michigan to South Carolina. Both sequences use similar editing and pacing, something I didn’t realize until later while watching them back-to-back. I guess you could call the first a rough draft and the second a revision.
