Boy oh Boy, screening movies again this month and getting Marie’s Pizza. It will be a good day. Going to hit the gym before the festivities. Gotta earn them carbs. Got a lot of prep work done on some DVD burning, delivery of shows to various outlets, and soon to Read more
Trying to edit yesterday posed an interesting problem. It’s hard to stay focused on the job when you’re bleeding so much your jeans get a red stain. Thinking about in and out points gets pushed out of your brain as you worry about running out of bandages, which I did Read more
I’ve been binge watching the TV series CASTLE. Weirdly, I don’t like it but I can’t stop watching it. It’s that type of show where they place the emphasis on the Mystery of the Week over the never ending, incredibly unfulfilling sexual tension between the two leads. The producers/writers clearly Read more
What an odd contradiction of physical and emotional responses I have at the moment. I’m burned out and inspired at the exact same time. I have things I need to do, want to do, and finishing them feels both good but just opens the door to the rest of what Read more
Going to try a new approach to a couple shoots coming up. I’ve got another greenscreen podcast shoot I wrote last night. The previous two did pretty well, so I think more things like that are in order. They are quick to shoot, quick to edit, play with After Effects Read more
Had a bad experience burning a Blu Ray. Trying to make the Cell Phone Monologues festival 1080p disc and it crapped out with the ISO file. So I guess I have to make it in Adobe Encore and no where else. Hmmm. I have a small tolerance for technical difficulties Read more
I have some big decisions to make soon. Each directions is fraught with peril, upsides and downsides, but always with risk. Neither option has an immediate change; both will take a year or two to come to fruition after long periods of work. Contrary to some, I am a very Read more
Plotting my movie moves for the next year or so. Structure keeps me focused, on track, and even superficial goals help projects see the goal line. Not to score points against anyone else, but to succeed in and of themselves. The past three days have been a throwback to some Read more
Some days you just relish accomplishing a lot, you know? Put together another 30 minute episode of Clip Frames. Got more segments edited for FRAMELINES. Yesterday totally made up for a lot of lost time. The Sonnyboo Intern Army was hard at work with preliminary edits and DVD duplication. Worked Read more
What a waste of a week this has been. With all the time away from teaching, and a minimal edit week, I got so little done and I don’t even feel particularly well rested or mentally relaxed. I’ve watched a couple movies, edited a few short things for myself, and Read more
In about a week, things will start really going my way. Life takes turns we don’t expect, sometimes for good, others for ill. A giant weight will be not only taken off my shoulders, but thrown pretty far away from me. Will this shift into positivity help invigorate the creativity? Read more
Yesterday was exciting for me. Spending all day at the courthouse, filing motions, and researching case information. Today, I send out a bunch of legal notices and wait for the fireworks show. I love going into research mode, making the law work for me. It will be a David versus Read more
