All footage shot by and owned by me, this was my experience going to see Nine Inch Nails for the first time in New Orleans.

My first edit of this sort. I have always loved Kubrick's slow moving shooting throughout the movie and I thought it would be fun to emulate it in the edit as opposed to the flashier fast paced ones I see elsewhere. I wanted to give each shot space to breathe and to make pleasing to the eye. I also chose this updated arrangement from Gary Numan to play on the use of classical music throughout the film as well.
