editing away

Here I am up all night editing. What's new. I am discovering a lot about what ai do and how I do it and what I am like and what I like and dislike. I am putting together a promotional DVD of some of the highlights in my video making. Some of the footage I filmed, some edited, others still produced and directed. When it is all put together there is a bit of a hodge-podge. I would like to have a body of work that is unified. I can see my strongpoints and weak points. Most of all my critique is my greatest strength. I can do things so well in my head or imagine them dine perfect, but in geetting to it, there is a loneliness attached to the actual act of creating. I had to get here though to be ready for it. It never was really actualized until I had to do it. Hten came the fear and resistance to making the video. But then when it had to get done, I am here doing it. I am sacrificing time and comfort for the best quality that I can muster. I am tired, but still have lots to do.

Third day late at work

Tonight I'm looking at light kits to buy or rent. The prices are high. Editing in Avid to create a promotional video to get a job. Writing to Davor about filming his video. A little high a little tired. Next in line is to speak with the writer about his script and optioning that to produce. Need to write a proposal for thesis. Ask Anne-Sophie to do some of the ideas that I have to do, hopefully on Friday if I can change the day to go to great America. Next, I want to look at microphone and camera mounted lights and dollies. I need to make several promotional materials to pass out to the family that is coming here on Monday to perhaps hire me for a wedding. That is what I am editing. I am trying to make a highlights video to pass to clients. I should get a shotgun mic that is stereo with a panning or rotateable focus that goes from stereo to unidirectional. I am taking a class in school and another one and seeing the difference of where I sit in each class. I should watch Frankenstein and roman Polanski films to prepare for my papers due and class next week. Editing at this stage os more like converting video and downloading where the computer does all the work while I wait. I got too busy last night to finish this, so I'll just post it and begin anew when the time comes.

First dAY OF BLOG

Well, first day and already some goofiness. I just thought that I clicked on post the last time, but unfortunately left clicked or right clicked when I should have right clicked or left clicked or something. Anyways, erased... gone from the anal of history. But this blog is the first for me and the first day of the first must entail a bit of an explanation. I am in the middle and end and beginning of several proijects that just need a little cooridination and writing. I need to keep track of things that happen amongst the day and week and minute of the productions and life situations that I find. It will help for future memories and lists in the future and writing that bigger still project to come... the thesis. Just got to get going and post all of my findinings and progress on a daily basis so that I can come up with something larger and concrete when I need to. Add a little each day and the whole gets bigger and bigger. good thing that I can type faster now. This new keyboard really helps. First day. See you next time.
