Folsom Field DVD was Fentons mess

[rekeen01]

I thought they had some company that sucked at editing but it was Fenton that did it. ha ohh well

You also directed two of the band’s DVDs. Looking back at those after a few years, what are your thoughts?

Folsom Field I was younger and I think looking back maybe I had too much energy. I was trying to get too much across. There is multiple-screen stuff and shots sliding in and out which I thought was cool at the time but when I look back, it seems a little too fast-paced. When you get to The Gorge, it’s a little more simple. I think there’s still a great energy to it but it’s not boom boom boom trying to get everything in. During Folsom Field I wanted to get every bass idea, every drum roll and then a few years later I realized it’s not necessary to get every single shot in there.

Do you have any future plans to direct?

I would love to do more but it all depends on timing. I moved over for a few years and directed video, but it got to the point where I missed doing the lighting. You’re playing along with the band much more. My first love of doing anything with this band is the lighting—I want my fingers to be moving in time with the band.
