save the world (from ourselves)

sirens out my window
echo down the alleyway
explosions and fragmentation waves
made the city shift and shake

we saw it loud
we heard it clear
‘cos no one lives in isolation here

now we have to save the world again
so zero out time
because now is then

we’re gonna have to save the world from ourselves again…

driverless cars running the lights
everywhere we are tonite

think it over
think it through
in this moment, who are you?

demolished a month ago.

from the sub strata.…

sum + difference = mystery in the fog

Sum + Difference [disquiet0130] off Particle Thoery (2014) soundtracks a beautiful “mood board” camera test by North Carolina editor and motion designer Holden Kim.

This was just a quick test with my new BMPCC one morning when there was a little fog in the air.
After testing, I realize that I really need the full version of DaVinci Resolve to do noise reduction.
