EXCLUSIVE Steemit video! The Beauty of a Dying Trade - Machine Shop
Never before seen or posted on other platforms. Steemit community gets first view of this short film I've made. A very cinematic insight of a machine shop I visited in Rockford, IL. The rough and raw scent of grease and metal in a paint chipped brick building atmosphere. Listening to the smashing sounds of hydraulic presses and air hoses being purged. Watching the machines do what they were programmed to. Never the less, a trade that is quickly dying off with the rise of automation technology.
Nice work! I always felt films like this were much closer to the idea of "pure cinema". Bert Haanstra's Glas is probably my favourite piece of cinema.
The editing was brilliant, perfectly timed to a pretty cool cover of In the Hall of the Mountain King. Kudos! Hope to see more of your work in the future.
Very kind of you to say, thank you!
