Because AKSARBENT's lazy amateur videographer customarily doesn't get out of bed before noon, he missed the City/County Building and Federal Reserve parts of yesterday's Occupy Omaha Rally even though he arose "early."However, by ignoring posted speed limits, he did manage to catch up with the marchers at Cubby's in the Old Market and followed them to Eugene Leahy Mall With editing, he managed to make a silk purse out of the sow's ear of footage he got and to make the proceedings seem a bit more lively than they actually were. (OPD was said to have estimated the crowd at 900-1000 at its peak, which would have surprised AKSARBENT.)
Back at the ranch, AKSARBENT caught its camcorder jockey (after a few drinks) going frame-by-frame through the video, cherry-picking misleading pictures of cute boys seemingly being cruised by other dudes. Even when feeling no pain, he is astonishingly good at finding pictures-that-lie and then sealing the deal with misleading cropping.(Dishonest he may be, but he certainly knows AKSARBENT's audience, we'll give him that much.)
Interestingly, his modus operandi in respect of video production seems to turn the write-when-drunk, edit-when-sober dictum on its head.
What was I supposed to learn from this?
