Hamageshiki (2014)

Video Shooting, Editing, and Production; HitFilm; Adobe Premiere

In March of 2014, FXHOME launched an unprecedented promotion by offering fully-licensed copies of its video editing and production software HitFilm free of charge. I was linked to the promo, got myself a copy, and, as an exercise in learning the software, went to work stitching together the footage I'd taken during my year abroad in Yokohama. Hamageshiki (literally meaning bayside scenery, but referring to the "hama" in "Yokohama", as in "Yokohama scenery") is the product of that particular exercise.
