Picture

​This is a photo of me circa 1998 editing my 16mm short film, The Green Grass System,  on a flatbed at L.I.F.T. in Toronto, Ontario. Technology has come along way, but the thought process is the same. In this photo I would be working from a Work Print. The rushes would be in sync and since I only have one monitor in use, and that there is only one print on the flatbed, I assume that I have finished the edit and am watching it back. Likely my friend Derek or Alex are in here watching the cut, and they snapped this photo, on film. ​
