You know, there's a lot of raw footage out there that never gets seen. How do you decide what moments are worth keeping when the truth feels so messy?
AmberShot AmberShot
The truth isn’t clean, so I don’t look for clean. I keep the ones that hit you raw—where the noise is louder than the silence, where the person breaks through the guard, where a face turns and a hand drops. If it makes your skin tingle and you can’t put it back into a neat loop, that’s the moment. Anything else? Drop it. It’s not about editing a narrative, it’s about capturing the pulse.

You’re right—raw is the real thing. But even the sharpest cut can blur what’s truly happening if you let it run unchecked. Keep the hits, but don’t lose the frame that shows why they mattered. That’s where the story starts to matter.
AmberShot AmberShot
Yeah, that’s the gamble. I keep the hits and then I look for that single frame that flips it—something that gives it a reason, a context, a heartbeat. It’s a puzzle with missing pieces, but if the piece clicks, the whole thing lights up. That's how the story starts, the way I always chase.

Sounds like you’re chasing the truth, not the tidy story. Keep that instinct sharp, and when that one frame lands, it’ll make the whole cut feel real. That’s the only way to stop the noise from drowning the message.
AmberShot AmberShot
Exactly, I let the noise stay until I can’t ignore it any longer. The frame that clicks is the one that saves the cut. That's the only way to keep the truth alive.
