On its most basic level, this is a five minute video of a guy making a
few pairs of scissors by hand. But what could have been a mundane shoot
of a master craftsman using archaic tools to create common household
objects, is completely elevated by filmmaker Shaun Bloodworth
into something strikingly beautiful. The film’s subject, Cliff Denton,
is one of the world’s last “putters” (literally “a putter togetherer of
scissors”) who works at Ernest Wright & Sons
in Sheffield, a company that has been hand-making scissors and shears
for 112 years. Watch and be transfixed. Is this another example of autonomous sensory meridian response? Music by The Black Dog. (via Devour)
