Dominican Republic 2018

When brainstorming this edit in my head, there were two routes I wanted to take. The first would be with upbeat music, quick cuts, fancy transitions, and high energy. The second would be a much slower approach. This one would have a much heavier tone to it, allowing the viewer to digest everything they were watching. I contemplated between these two route for a long time.

As a filmmaker and a creator, I’m always trying to push myself to create content that is better than what I created yesterday. I often think that fancy editing, quick cuts, and high energy make for a more engaging video, therefore a “better” video.

Apart from two or three transitions, this edit is wildly basic. There’s nothing too special about it. And that’s exactly why I decided to take this route. Fast paced edits and overdone effects are exciting and certainly impressive, but they draw the viewer towards the filmmaker and away from the content. I hope the simplicity of this video gives you the opportunity to fully recognize just how humble, loving, and beautiful these people really are. They are some of the most amazing people I’ve ever had the opportunity to meet. And that’s what this video is really about. The people.
