I feel terrible. I burned myself out and I’m crashing and crispy today. Last night we did a massive shoot for the intro’s to 35 episodes of a new webseries I’m putting together. We went about 45 minutes over the scheduled shooting time I intended, but that’s okay. I had Read more…
Last night I went to sleep before 10:30PM. That’s extremely rare as I am quite the night owl. I generally don’t get sleepy before 2:00AM. I have so much on my mind; rest does not come easy. Ideas and plans coalesce into projects. There exists a circular motion, like a Read more…
Working all weekend. Got some editing for a client that’s keeping me all in my After Effects/Animation mode. This takes a lot of time and thought process. I wind up working and re-working. Revisions permeate the process. And I need to finish the edit on the latest Cell Phone Monologue. Later Read more…
Slogging along. Chipping away at the mountain of work I created for myself. I need to avoid burnouts though. My obsessive compulsive tendencies when it comes to editing sometimes burns my head to a crisp. I need to stay frosty and sharp in order to keep this endorphin high I Read more…
Still slogging through the edits I have to do for FRAMELINES, many of which aren’t for immediate broadcast, but still in need of doing and putting online. I’m celebrating the finishing of a short video by listening to PRINCE from the underrated Under the Cherry Moon soundtrack – the song Read more…
Backsliding sucks. When something like your health, your emotional state, your finances, or your creativity starts to wade back into negativity, how can you avoid the jaws of despair? What makes today any different than 6 months ago? I don’t know, but I’m at least not slowing down the creative Read more…
So I have even less time than I imagined. Sometimes life puts enormous roadblocks in front of you and you have to decide how to get around them. Every single time I get a little bit ahead, either with health or financial or personally – SOMETHING goes to hell in Read more…
Shot another Cell Phone Monologue today. Worked with a small crew and the customary cast of one. Talk about teamwork, everyone on the exact same page about what we were doing. Mike McNeese shot with the Canon C300 camera, so it was a chance for me to keep trying out Read more…
A tradition broke! We finished an episode of FRAMELINES and neglected to do my celebratory dance. It was 2:00AM, and I was simply too exhausted to bust a move. Plus having to get up for an early morning class didn’t help. Or the freezing weather. And yet, the positivity ain’t Read more…
Non-stop work. The work infects my dreams. Sleep is bumpy, but happens a little bit at a time. Maintaining the happy positive attitude represents the struggle of my life right now. Getting up before 9:00AM to teach really inhibits happy positive. I am NOT a morning person. Sometime around 1:00PM, Read more…
This weekend I will test market a part of the new webseries to see how it plays and get notes. I’m pretty sure I have solved the issue with the ‘host’ (me). I’m going to rotate the hosts out and switch it up all the time. I don’t have to Read more…
Hmm. I am finalizing an edit of the new webseries and starting on the edit of the 2nd episode. I appear in these segments on camera as a ‘host’. That has become something of a sticking point for why I am somewhat unhappy with the pieces as they are. The Read more…
