Cutting a music video for Russell Crowe's band, "Thirty Odd Foot of Grunts" was a unique experience. Russell had quite a posse of bandmates that rode around on Harleys all over Austin. We made a special exception for them to smoke and drink inside our edit suites. Since we don't have royalty in the US, we have to make do with celebrity. The video was fun to do, and Russell and his team were great to work with. I learned how salty an Aussie's language could be in the edit suite, too. More recently, cutting a series of social media videos for Lennox with the GSD&M crew was a great pleasure. I'm fascinated by how our industry has shifted into new forms of video, such as the tangentially related to the business social media angle. These videos, shot by Ben Steinbauer at The Bear were all related to Lennox's mission of the pursuit of perfect air. The location was in the unlikely setting of the Toronto zoo. I had some wonderful animal footage to work with. It was hypnotizing to cut footage of polar bears and butterflies, and the people were superb to work with.
