Getting back into the groove. I should have some new material finished and out there in the next few days. I feel great again. I took that depression and kicked its ASS. Now I’m going to take malaise out back and beat it with a tire iron. Is it actually Read more…
NOW my head is getting back into the game! I came up with a few concepts and ideas for things I’ve been struggling with for a while. Something as basic as a faux scene for a FRAMELINES demonstration video. I came up with 3 scenarios and those can get shot Read more…
After a good nights sleep, I feel much better, if that means I had insomnia from sleeping all day and my ass hurts as I run out of pain killers which helped me sleep. I almost edited. I came really close. I had the program open and looked at footage. Read more…
Even with percocets, I can’t sleep. Had a little medical procedure last night, so sitting is mildly uncomfortable and I need to take a day to recover. The doctors say I should be fine by tomorrow if not later tonight. I am greatly relieved to put this behind me. I Read more…

Got all 16 episodes of FRAMELINES on tape with Closed Captions. Delivering them on Monday morning for broadcast. It’s a huge deal to have the entire first season delivered and airing, plus a few new episodes. That’s 8 hours of content created total. That’s a lot of material any way Read more…
As miserable as I felt last night, I went and taught an editing seminar for the Westerville Public Library. Teaching a lot at the school, as well as years of editing classes I’ve taught meant I could sleep walk through this kind of thing. I didn’t, as I always get Read more…
I had no idea just how subjective reality can be. How 2-3 people can see the same exact same thing and remember it entirely different. It reminds me of the great Akira Kurasawa’s movie RASHOMON. That movie spawned a great deal of knock offs and still does. It’s the same Read more…
