In Praise of Tim McLaughlin

Do you know Tim McLaughlin? If you do, then you know he’s a gem. Not only is he a seriously genuine person–one of the finest–he’s also a tremendous editor.

Setting aside the improbable causality, there is no denying Patrick Clair's skillful vision of a system rapidly deteriorating. Through repetition of form layered between settings that fold into one another, both camera movement and construction of type work to support the concept that everything is linked. For me the piece is most successful in its use of space and timing in its second act, after 1:49, as the viewer is forced to swim through a dark, endless void of possibilities. - Joe Fuller Tom Clancy's The Division from Patrick Clair on Vimeo.
