Culling video
Given the way we shot footage when Mom first gave us the digital camcorder last month, it's hardly surprising how long it takes to mould it into something watchable. I'm probably not culling enough.
The video runs the gamut. We have everything from couch potatoes...
...to heavy jazz cats.
Rubin uses culling to refer to the process of throwing out portions of the raw footage so you can manage the rest. I'm searching for diamond dust in a mount of dirt. In 70 minutes of NTSC, you have 126000 frames to choose from.
Reminder to self: shoot less before editing.
