In this episode of Thrash Lab’s “Empty America” timelapse series, we take you to Washington, D.C. – the capitol of the United States of America. Visit landmarks like the Capitol Building, Jefferson Memorial and the White House without any security guards, without tourists. Enjoy the beautiful geographical layout and the iconic buildings without any distraction.

In this special video segment, director Ross Ching describes “the creative gap” and “the vision” as it relates to a filmmaker trying to execute their creative conception.

“how you imagine something when you are conceptualizing vs how it comes out once it reaches the screen, the difference in the middle is the creative gap”

“if you can get your imagination and your reality as close together as possible, you are going to be able to make some awesome videos”
