Trek Assessment #3

One of the surprises I recently had was the fact that some of the footage which I thought was not usable turned up to be possibly my main little gem for these treks. It was footage that I had taken only because I thought it looked cool, which one of my main rules are never use something “just” because it looks cool, there has to be more to it, it has to do something more then looks. I didn’t realize it then but it did actually fit with my work, I felt really good afterwards. I kind of had an idea but it is crazy how sometimes you go through so much stuff just for something good that may be only a couple of minutes out of hours of sound recordings. The second time and the third time you do have a clearer objective on knowing what may be good to capture and what might be not worth the time. I didn’t realize how good what I thought was a bad recording of what was in a parking lot at Bayshore mall, which I think it was some kind of machinery if you reverse the clip and slow it down, it creates a nice droning effect for a background noise.
