My ploy to deceive myself actually works a little. I started by just doing the normal ASSISTANT EDITOR work, IE creating bins (folders), moving raw footage into them, duplicating the single channel of audio to both (dual mono), and then starting to just watch all the raw footage. Of course, Read more…
I volunteered to judge some categories for the Emmy’s and also the big local film festival. Got my Emmy ones done yesterday and wow was I impressed. Having a greater understanding of the process means I am even less likely to take home a gold statue, nonetheless even get another Read more…
The shoot went over. Way over. And it was TOTALLY worth it. The horror movie cliches were done as night shoots – how is that possibly a bad thing? We’ve got five of these mini movies in the can. It took almost 15 months to get them shot, but now Read more…
The Movie Cliche auditions went well. Very happy, found some people for sure. Some of them won’t get shot for the movies until June-July-August, but it was nice to find new actors and connect with people I haven’t seen in a while. The shoot Sunday has me excited, nervous, and Read more…
Things are moving fast. All kinds of paperwork and $900.00 in on the new house already, and there’s no guarantee I’ll absolutely get it. The Movie Cliche shoot is coming up and I need to move pretty darn quick. I must be a complete idiot with all that is going Read more…
Yesterday was something of a nice break through. I was exhausted, burned out, and fried. And still I managed to edit out the latest Sonnyboo Podcast. Plus I walked 4 miles after looking at furniture and housewares for the new homestead. It was a better alternative to sitting around doing Read more…
Headed out to Dayton today to do an interview for a show there. I’m also going to drop off episods of FRAMELINES and also CLIP FRAMES for broadcast there too. Multipurpose trips always placate my Obsessive-Compulsive side. FRAMELINES has a new host for season 2! The GATEWAY FILM CENTER’s own Johnny Read more…
Location scout last night went swimmingly well. An embarrassment of riches in terms of the visuals. I’m still missing one location for the shoot day, the one that should in theory be the easiest – the woods. It will be Memorial Day weekend, so the public parks will be swamped Read more…
I thought my big shoot was next week. I have almost 2 whole weeks! I watched and judged the High School film fest last night. Next up, judging for the Emmy’s this week. Yesterday, I helped out a friend doing some Behind the Scenes interviews for his feature. I wasn’t Read more…
Man! Things continue the upswing. First and foremost, got the house. New Rossdonia will be no more. Rossland? Ross Angeles? Rosstopia? I cannot name the place until I move in and get it all setup. Things for the upcoming Movie Cliche are so smoothly coming together, I cannot believe how Read more…
Man, does stuff come together sometimes. We’ve got all kinds of shoots going for FRAMELINES, with ON LOCATION segments and FEATURED FILMMAKER interviews, and the new host segments getting shot soon. We’ll have at least 4-5 new episodes put together over the next couple months. The Sonnyboo Intern Army editing Read more…
I managed to get an entire day off work in the middle of the week. No classes, no editing of any kind, and minimal stresses. I got a long walk at the park in with the sun shining, a whole lotta television catch up (2 weeks of MAD MEN, latest Read more…
