We shot a new roundtable, panel discussion last night for FRAMELINES, this one on Cinematography. This time we live switched in 24P, a first for us. A Good time was had, work was a joy, and there is less post than ever on this. The only problem was, that I was Read more…
And here I thought leaving the school would have given me more free time. Couldn’t have been more wrong. A non-stop whirlwind of post work, shoots, and meetings awaited me from the first moment on. I haven’t had time to breathe. I was really hoping to get some rest and Read more…
Life has been in transition for me for months. From the health scares earlier in the year to multiple recent changes in job related situations. Life is clearly sending me a signal. Time to change directions, head onto a different path. I hear you, and I am on my way. Read more…
Was just dealt a devastating financial blow. Doesn’t feel good to lose work, especially when I have put years into this kind of client. I’m not destitute or anything. It just doesn’t feel great, ya know? A lot of plans, like taking another vacation, first one in 3 years, just Read more…
I love the International Indie Gathering. It’s a film festival and indie film convention combined into one. I come every year to this event and have a blast. I worked so much this past week, between edits for 3 different companies, wrapping up several projects, teaching 3 classes, and dealing Read more…
Got another edit for me done. Only one more in the queue that has been shot and not edited. After that, I will need to start getting back to my weekly Greenscreen habit. In the past several months I have outlined several more Sonnyboo Podcasts, some funny to me, others Read more…
I’ve been ill again. It seems having a compromised immune system isn’t much of a picnic. A simple cold can demolish me along with a simple cut gets infected inside of a day. And sleep can be quite elusive at times, which makes the recovery take longer. I hate getting Read more…
Spending a little time in Cleveland and Northern Ohio lately makes me miss my roots a little. Not too much, as I am very happy with Rossland and life therein. Editing at home has made a huge difference on a near complete lack of stress where work is concerned. Production, Read more…
The Summer of Ross continues. Not a lot of sun. A lot of good food. Had some drinks last night and that had been a while. I might make some more electric lemonade tonight as the sun sets and sit on my back porch chatting with the roommates. The vacation Read more…
Buried in edits, freelancing and doing work and doing favors. I am never fully at rest. Taking the summer “off” has been one of the busiest times of my professional life. I did an edit for one client for a full day, taught for 4 hours, went home and edited Read more…
Ugh. For a summer off, I sure feel busy. Teaching classes, shooting new material for FRAMELINES, and paid work for clients means I’m not so much getting time off as much as I am not doing anything for me. In the end, it will be okay. The butter is churning Read more…
Last weekend was fun. The HORROR HOTEL, from the INDIE GATHERING folks, was a chance to sell some DVD’s and books. Given the genre, my old film HORRORS OF WAR/NAZI ZOMBIES was at the forefront of interest. This time, I was intent on giving away a lot of stuff for Read more…
