Thomas & Friends, as a Video Editor

MML's Commentaries

A commentary on Thomas the Tank Engine and the incredible production process that went into making such a show at a time when digital video didn't exist. We discuss the role of the video editor and how it has evolved as the capability of editing software evolved.

While all of this is going on, I play with toy trains in a basement; or, as some may put it, create art. After all, that's how Thomas was made.
