ESPN’s “Images of the Century” catalyzed my interest in video editing. I must have watched it 100 times back in high school. I remember showing it to several of my friends, and being amazed that this video could give all of us goosebumps. It was the first time I became consciously aware of how powerful images were when combined with the right music, and how pacing and transitions could rapidly seize a person’s attention and put them in a trance.
I owe a lot to whoever edited “Images of the Century.” He awoke my appreciation for the art of editing, as well as my desire to go out and learn it.
Awesome video dude, thanks for sharing.
