I have a movie for the IFC MEDIA LAB site, but it is 7 minutes and they wanted it down to 6 minutes, so that meant some cutting. I have never re-edited this movie & sure wasn’t going to go back to the raw footage so I watched it to Read more…
The BASIC OF EDITING CLASS focuses more on the theory of editing and a universal approach to computer based editing. It is NOT format or software specific. It does not matter if you are editing with Avid, Final Cut Pro, Vegas Video, Adobe Premiere, or even Imovie or WindowsMovieMaker. Next session Read more…
In the late 1980’s through the early 1990’s, the artistic endeavor that most high school aged people did was start a band. The music store business thrived during the time when you could by LP’s, Cassettes, and CD’s all at the same time. Then the other kind of music store, Read more…
Well, first off the first thing to take note of in the world of Boo is the new site for the BLOG and JOURNAL ENTRIES – PeterJohnRoss.com. This was a wonderful birthday present from my best friend. It’s one of those surprise gifts you’d never ask for but has a Read more…
by Peter John Ross In the last 7 years or so, I love what’s happened with TV. The derivation between “TV” and “FILM” has blurred so much that some of the best cinematic works are now television shows. That’s the key word too – CINEMATIC. It seems that shows like Read more…
Seven years ago this month, my life changed. I met one of my idols, Richard Linklater ([i]dir: School of Rock, Slacker, Dazed & Confused, A Scanner Darkly[/i]). I went from wanting to be a filmmaker to actually making movies within 2 weeks of that January night. Now I am a Read more…

Well, we rang in the New Year last night at a party with some friends. Again, this year, I’m not too into the Holiday spirit, but playing poker & chatting for a few hours with some people I genuinely like made a big difference. My Sexy Girlfriend Veronica ™ had Read more…

This is such a dead time. The weather is starting to turn cold, projects are ramping down instead of up. There’s all this crappy holiday spirit nonsense. I’m not Scrooge, but I’m not Jimmy Stewart either. I have found the season to reminisce more about retail than Christ or a Read more…
Again, your faithful narrator has had a busy time in the last two weeks. I’ve been working a lot doing A/V work, and that’s not as bad as it sounds. At least I’m getting caught up on bills and even saving up for another car. That’s right, yet another catastrophe Read more…
I’ve kept very busy since the last entry on Ye Olde Blog, my acolytes. I worked some A/V jobs at a hotel and also got an editing job editing some HD material. Thanks to George Caleodis, the next feature script has made leaps and bounds forward. The Boo is on Read more…
