Interesting video-editing techniques

I intend to explore video editing a great deal more. Above is something I made recently using a combination of relief and kaleidoscope fx in Final Cut Pro on some footage I took of the Redentore Festival fireworks show in Venice last summer.

















This guy (Mitchell Davis) has been an inspiration to me for a long time, in particular his art videos. I love the simplicity of the things he creates, and how clean, symmetrical and aesthetically pleasing his style is.



Here are a few other examples of his work:
The Inner
Pursuit of New York
The Birds Have Gone Beyond
Datamoshing Test Sequence #1
Eye No Hot Air

And here are a few other videos I've collected from browsing on Vimeo. If you like the look of them, I recommend you take a gander around the Vimeo website. It's like YouTube but the content is mainly video-art and short films.

Wood Smoke - Cool wheel-type editing technique.
Spectre - Bit frightening but very clever.
Iki Kanat / Two Wings / 2012 Remastered - Amazing dark/light contrasts and striking colours with a split screen.
Amateur - Weird and interesting editing, looks like a cross between a wave formation and a curtain rippling in the wind.
