I feel like hell. I’m worn down, tired, and sick. Bleeding from a few places, but overall, still okay attitude-wise. I’m countering the crippling depression and loneliness with completing various projects and the euphoria that comes with that. Kinda balances out, especially since I’m sleeping a little better. Lorenzo still wakes Read more…
Saw the sneak preview of CAPTAIN PHILLIPS last night. I liked it a lot, but this isn’t a review. I wanted to talk about a trend in editing that this movie exemplifies. The current trend in feature films is to be completely minimal with the wide shots/establishing shots, and then Read more…
[img]http://www.sonnyboo.com/images1/blog/oct13/blog.jpg[/img] FRAMELINES got featured with FilmmakerIQ.com which is cool because I’ve been using their cool videos in my classes on the history of Aspect Ratios and Effects. They are producing videos at a level I am aspiring to reach. The global reach of communication boggles my mind even now. I’ve Read more…
Gonna do a double feature at the theater with my free AMC gift card I won from the Westerville Film Festival. After that, Imma gonna edit another tech tip and finalize another roundtable segment for FRAMELINES. After that, more swimming and weights at the gym. Then I will most likely Read more…
FINALLY, looks like things will be slow enough the next week or so to get caught up on sleep, movies, and personal editing. National ad campaign finally wrapped up. Got several of the paid edits finished and uploaded for the client. Got several things on deck; picking one to start Read more…
I like music with balls. Instrumentation doesn’t matter. We’re not talking about loud necessarily. A lud fuzzy guitar doesn’t always equal balls. Just listen to the main theme of Conan the Barbarian by Basil Poledouris. There ain’t much bigger balls than that and not a guitar to be strummed. I’m a Read more…
I have several edits left to finish, both paid and unpaid. Trying to knock everything out one at a time, or hitting each one for a short time and switching between them; either option isn’t making this go faster. I do already have about 6-7 things edited and done that Read more…
I was reminded yesterday of a family incident. 2 years ago my parents had their 50th Wedding Anniversary. My sisters felt obligated (via guilt) to take charge of the party and arrangements. There was a lot of time and thought put into things like food, decorations, invitations, etc. What did Read more…
Went back on Facebook and my main concern was marketing. I have a month’s worth of videos that went unpromoted. Started with one video from the Movie Cliches series that I finished a couple weeks ago. In one day, a little over 120+ new views. Facebook is effective, but simultaneously, Read more…
A couple hours and I’m back in the Book of Face. Hmm. What did I learn? WOW, this virtual world has replaced so much actual human interaction, it terrifies me. Other than that, No, I wasn’t nearly as productive per se. I did get caught up on a lot of Read more…
One more day and I’m back to Facebook. I don’t think it will be exactly the same for me. It has its value, but it ain’t worth the emphasis put on it. Facebook does not replace actual human contact, or at least it shouldn’t. Because of work issues and going Read more…
Well, I’m now booked to teach a class at the very time I intended to have a little get together celebrating my return to Facebook. And I can’t get online to cancel it. Oh well. At least I finally got to look at the footage from Thursday and it looks Read more…
