Last fall I put together a three-hour long video compilation for Rudy to play at The Akbar.

I started by digitizing a huge amount of VHS and DVD footage so I could edit it all fancy-like on the computer. Unfortunately, after editing the first twenty minutes, I realized it would take an insane amount of time to make three solid hours of finely edited footage the way I had desired, so I ended up lumping the raw clips on in their entirety.

All that original footage has been taking up more than 50 gigabytes of space on my external hard drive, since I kept telling myself that one day I’d get around to editing the way I had inteneded, but after eight months I’ve finally decided to just give up and delete it.
