The video also showcases the mesmerizing, world-class flamenco of Karen Michelle Pitkethly and her bailoras (dancers); her must-see performances can be seen weekly at the Kino Cafe in Vancouver.

In this post I am going to talk about an important principle of editing. It’s an often overlooked principle, the principle of spatial relation. Spatial relation is something your brain has been processing since you were a baby.
