In the middle of a time sensitive, high pressure deadline for paid editing work – what do I do to relax? Go to a movie? No. Watch TV? No. Have a few drinks with friends? No. I edit a video for FRAMELINES. That’s what I was yearning to do to Read more…
Got a picture lock last night on the latest Cell Phone Monologue. This was somewhere between working for a client and working for myself. I didn’t write this or produce this, so I felt very much I was working FOR someone, not myself, but as always I will have my Read more…
I got a check today from Youtube. It was for over a few hundred dollars for last month. I hadn’t noticed (nor had I been looking), but it seems that the viral hits of my HOW TO DEAL WITH TELEMARKETERS series has some kind of bump as well as the Read more…
The last few weeks have been great. I’ve gotten so much work done on so many fronts. Whether it’s finalizing TV shows, writing for a webseries, and even getting my home in order; your faithful narrator has been on track. Nothing can deter me right now. We got all the closed Read more…
I love it when a plan comes together and actually works the way it’s supposed to. Aside from a very inconvenient avalanche of snow on the ground, I’m chipping away at my workload I created for myself. Time is precious to me, now more than ever. I wasted so much Read more…
The Sonnyboo Intern Team got the studio cleaned and organized. We have a lot of media carts lying around, all being misused as catch-alls for whatever. Now they have specific functions and purpose. Also setup a portable deck-rack with digibeta, 3/4″, and D2 decks. Finally digitized the uncompressed digibeta tape of Read more…
Got another MOVIEMAKING TECHNIQUE done. I had a really light week in terms of teaching, as opposed to next week when I have NO days of teaching. The timing couldn’t be more perfect. I’ve got some paid work and a lot of Non-Paid work to complete in that time, as Read more…
I plan on getting a whole lot completed this week. Now that my teaching schedule slowed down, time to get on a list of projects. I have a mild case of Obsessive-Compulsive, so I make lists, then try to scratch off items from the list. Weirdly, I don’t go from Read more…
No movies seen at the theatre. Minimal editing done. Lots of feline distractions. Talked extensively to my lawyer friend. Tiled the kitchen. This was my weekend in a nutshell. At least I started getting a lot of much needed rest. After several weeks off from home repairs, I’m getting back to Read more…
Overall, still jamming and happy. Much like a chicken nugget, I’m fried on the edges. Although it is the weekend, teaching a lot during the week means there are no days off on the weekend. There’s some part of the psyche that permeates an attitude that – even though I Read more…
Big decisions to make. So much going on, that my iPhone is barely keeping up with my schedule. What I really need is an army, a Sonnyboo Army. I’m up to 4 interns right now. I’ve created a whole slew of new work for them, even simple things, but work Read more…
One of the things missing from the last 2 years was the desire/motivation to edit. I feel compelled to edit more these days. It may not be the most expedient but I am without a doubt more inspired. The muse has taken root in my man-cave edit suite and I Read more…
