Yesterday was an all day edit session on these long gestating pieces. Some of these things have been in my mental queue since 2013 or longer. Others, far more recent, and yet taking the list down notch by notch feels amazing. I cannot recall the last time I felt this Read more…
Today is my birthday. I am 44 years old. Last night, I celebrated with several friends, drank too much and stayed up too late. How do I choose to spend my day? Working on my projects from last week. I’ve got 2 of 3 cats on my editing station, a Read more…
What is this, 2003 again? I did a shoot on Tuesday and had edits finished by 6:00PM Wednesday. I haven’t turned around on my own projects like this in years. And I’m still going. Today will be a greenscreen shoot and then that will get edited and finalized before the Read more…
All day yesterday, I directed a shoot. I don’t say that enough because I haven’t been doing that as much as I should. This was a couple years in the making. I wanted to make sure the quality was superior to what I have been churning out. I spent money Read more…
After such a strange and busy holiday season, things have settled back down some. Not as much as I wanted. The upside resides in the surge of activity on my creative side. I want to get things rocking and I have a shoot for FRAMELINES early next week already. I’m Read more…
With a New Year comes new resolve. I need to parlay my happiness into productive works. My plan to continue the list in front of me will come to fruition. Even if I have to will these into existence, I shall. I will not compromise on quality, as I would Read more…
Well another year is coming to a close. Normally this time of year, I have time for introspection, reflecting on the time that has passed. Not this year. I am busy with work, paid and volunteer. So much is going on, that I haven’t had much time for anything. The worst Read more…
Time flies. I have been so busy within my “time off“. I still manage to find or create new work. Yesterday served as the template for how everyday should be during this time. Already today, I failed to follow suit. What I did do today was agree to edit someone Read more…
This whole major time off thing is either addicting or maddening. When I indulge in the urge to binge watch, I go for many hours in a row and devour entire seasons in 2-3 days. Or I clean and work on self made projects for hours. This newfound time thing Read more…
So far so good. Time away from work only one full day, already my emotional state has increased by a large margin. I have a chart. It might be quantifiable. My mind and time are already bending towards the next few projects. I printed a hard copy of the scripts, Read more…
This morning I delivered a DVD for replication of 1,000 copies for a client, ending a long project. Now, there’s nothing foreseeable on the horizon work-wise. That normally would send me into a panic, especially with a mortgage with my name on it. Now now. I have secured financing for Read more…
First draft of the screenplay turned in. Storyboards with revisions also turned in. A serious amount of progress accomplished. Sadly, all by people not me. Me, I’ve been booked solid with no real free time to do a lot on my own projects. Hopefully, that will change soon. I’m editing Read more…
