Mossback's Northwest - Season 9

This season, I took a step back from my role as lead editor of Mossback’s Northwest in an effort to edit a more diverse roster of shows. Our original production team is excited to welcome Danielle Driehaus as our newest staff video editor at Cascade PBS. Danielle has done a great job editing most of this season’s episodes of Mossback.

Oh, by the way, we are now Cascade PBS instead of Crosscut or KCTS 9. This recent rebrand coincided with a move from our long-time home at Seattle Center to a new building at 316 Broadway in the First Hill area of Seattle.

I did edit two episodes of Mossback this season, posted below. I am especially proud of how the Yamasaki episode turned out. In addition to editing and creating the motion graphics, I also filmed some of the footage of the IBM, Rainier Tower and Pacific Design buildings here in Seattle. I have such a deep respect for Yamasaki’s aesthetic and I admire how he rejected popular trends to create his own subtle visual motifs in his buildings - something I tried to imitate in my animations.

Apparently I’m the go-to editor for clam content at Cascade PBS. And, yes, that is footage from HUMAN ELEMENTS’ episode about the clam garden from earlier this year.
