I’ve interviewed a lot of people on camera – probably hundreds at this point. They range in length of time and depth, but the fact remains: I’ve asked a lot of people questions literally on the record.
Only a tiny fraction of what is recorded, though, makes it into the final cut of a 2-3 minute video that I produce or edit for my clients. And that’s a travesty because people raise lots of interesting points when I interview them that either don’t pertain to the narrative I’m crafting, or in some cases it just takes an interviewee too long to get to the point.
So today I am posting the first video from a new series that I’m calling Bonus Cuts in which I will upload interesting video excerpts that don’t make it into the final cut of my videos. The first segment comes from an interview with fabric designer Wesley Mancini. You can watch the finished version of the video that we produced about Wesley for McColl Center for Visual Art from which this interview excerpt was pulled.
