Here's a little experimental video I made from footage I shot last weekend at this incredible and fun outdoor music event in downtown Tucson, The Festival En El Barrio Viejo. A benefit for Tucson community radio station KXCI, the festival featured Calexico, along with this band, Sergio Mendoza y La Orkesta, as well as several other Tucson acts.
For this video I was named winner of last weekend's Vimeo Weekend Project contest and awarded a free Vimeo Plus account.
The clip features a voicemail left for me 8 years ago by a friend who was arranging a music gig for me in Portland, as well as lots of twiddly video processing using Apple Motion to auto-scrub and auto-blend footage in sync with different frequencies and peaks in both audio tracks.
In this 3rd installment of my News On The Line "Transition in the Borderlands" series, San Diego electropop artist Jeffrey "Mono Mono" Beringer talks about the border wall, cross-cultural love, and his hopes for change in the future.
