PRODUCER, DIRECTOR, EDITOR

“Finally”

Check out this never-released Director's Cut of a famous music video.

Paul edited this Director’s Cut version of a popular music video: 


"Before plug-ins and After Effects made digital compositing relatively easy, director Claude Borenzweig developed an unusual method: layering black-and-white video shapes through the isolated red, green, and blue channels of an old-school Kaleidoscope effects box. When the layers overlapped, they created all sorts of surprising, unusual colors and shapes which were further manipulated. Clever concept and a unique look. 


But the record company was very conservative and forced Claude to pull back on his bold experimentation with the process. He found that frustrating. 


So after the project was completed and delivered, he brought the raw material to Chromavision, one of the post-production houses where I was freelancing as a video editor. Claude wanted to make his own version for his Director’s reel. 


My instructions were to re-create the process and go wild with it. Which is exactly what we did."
