A discussion I witnessed between a group of youngsters and the mounted police force. The situation felt like a hobbyist summer theatre play. The situation escalated slowly to the point where one of the youngsters spat on the face of an officer. They were caught for allegedly making a tag on a wall. I’ll continue documenting the activities of the police (horses) tonight.
Anarchist 1: Fuck, you want me to shoot you?! [Long pause] I’m fucking shooting you with these words!
Anarchist 2: Stop pressuring him!
Anarchist 3: Hey! What is happening here and why!
Anarchist 4: Man, man, man! You are all the fucking same! Bitch!
Migrating to Final Cut X as my full time editing program (pulled the trigger on an education bundle of macOS software for my new iMac). Feeling frisky while snooping through tutorials. Trying to set up all of the Trans-Horse media files (from early 2014 onwards) and so far FCPX is feeling like a good choice, it mixes media management as a part of the creative process. FCPX makes tagging clips into content creation. I have to invest in new hard drives (I’ll possibly start with a pair of Seagate Barracuda 2 TB 64 MB 7200 RPM 3.5″ SATA III 6 Gb/s). Unfortunately my hard drive docks only work with USB 2.0.. But I can already feel a big boost in speed (I guess the system manages data more efficiently).
