Started the new edit of the last Movie Cliche. Will take a little bit o’ time but not a lot. I have no idea how I’ll market the re-do. Maybe alternate version, maybe replace it entirely, but nothing definite yet. I don’t mind undoing what I’ve gotten out there if Read more
Time. It’s nothing more than a measurement of things moving through space. Yet we put such an emphasis on it, like our lives depend on time. We mark time with the Earth’s rotation in concert with its rotation around the sun. Whenever we think we have mastered time, we lose Read more
Snow. Cold. Work. God, I need a vacation. When I say ‘vacation’, I mean time to work on my own projects obsessively for hours at a time. I put out the latest Movie Cliche podcast and based on a few screenings, I’m not happy with it. It looks amazing, but Read more
Yesterday was another good day. A new Movie Cliché edited and released (see below). Two new desks in my basement and everything rewired and looking snazzy. This was the last corner of New Rossdonia that failed to change since last summer. I held off for a lot of reasons, but Read more
Ah, a real day off. Did wonders for the creativity. I edited last night for myself from the shoot last Sunday. Incredible footage also helps in making decisions. When you’re picking from all great possibilities as opposed to necessity makes editing sometimes a little harder, except this time I had Read more
That was a productive and busy week. I worked until almost 11:00PM last night, just so that I could have 2 consecutive days of no work for anyone but myself. I have a few edits of my own to do, last Sunday’s shoot being the highest priority. We got everything Read more
Man, did things work out yesterday. Morning class, got there and even sleepy I rocked it with passion. Afternoon, booked home for a conference call for work, then edited and finished a video from really rough cut to a near final cut for a client, then rocketed over to Best Read more
So a bunch of us are going to see THOR 2 after class tonight. IMAX 3D with the 5 minute peek at CAPTAIN AMERICA 2, seems like a good time. Been trying to get THE HOBBIT extended edition on Blu Ray, but it’s sold out at every Best Buy in Read more
Work piles up. And here I was worried I wouldn’t have enough paid work and I get booked for multiple classes and the jobs just started to drift back in. My own work gets pushed to the side, as well as this thing called ‘sleep’ that I keep hearing good Read more
I’m dying to get some real time off. Drowning in edits for clients, teaching multiple classes for 13 hour days several times a week. I don’t hate it. Somehow, I always find energy when I need it in the classroom or the studio. It’s in the after that I falter. Read more
Shoot went fantastic yesterday. I had fun, got everything I wanted, actors were good, improv’d a little, and the camera work was staggeringly good. The camera never stopped moving. Not a single static shot in the piece. It’s meant to be a higher tension, action movie-style bit, so the movement Read more
Okay, über excited. Shooting in just a few short hours. Nice prime lenses, tricked out camera rig, a fairly new crew, and a mixed cast of new and old faces. I always get excited for shooting days. Already prepping another Podcast series shoot, and two more of these for next Read more
