A Different Approach To Editing Videos

“What I do in that process is I’m suddenly familiarizing myself with the footage, and whether I want to or not, I’m piecing the edit together in my head. And that’s starts to create excitement about the actual edit.” 

In this clip from episode 62 of our podcast, Wes Evans shares his approach to get into his flow state while editing videos. This approach allows him to organize, visualize and love the scene while he’s editing the video.

Wes Evans is an actor, writer, director, and filmmaker for Icarus Burning Productions.

How Creativity Makes Us More Human

“You’ll have a middle-class predictable job if you have domain expertise and something technical - but if you actually want to lead in that world, then you’ll need to have a set of skills or a set of aptitude that we associate with the humanities. Creativity among them” This is a clip of Alec Ross speaking out about how having creativity is what divides us from artificial intelligence and helps us stand among others in the workforce. Alec Ross was the Senior Advisor of Innovation for Hillary Clinton while she was Secretary of State and is a technology policy expert who wrote the New York Times bestseller “The Industries of The Future”. This podcast interview includes talks about how technology can desensitize creativity, why creativity is still important to humans as we progress along advancing technologies, and how exercising can help you get out of a rut and boost creativity.
