8: Kelly Slater’s world title #10 clip

Lined up a metric ton of good footage covering Slater’s 2010 title run. It was daunting, actually, how much stuff there was. But once I found the song, everything seemed to magically drop into the FCP timeline, one piece after the other, I just stood by, finessed a couple edits, twiddled the levels a bit, grabbed an early lunch. Sometimes it’s that easy.
