The truck came yesterday to pick up the majority of my pile-o-stuff. The remainder I've packed in the 4Runner and am waiting to throw in a trailer when my friend Jim gets over here. I'd rather not have to take a trailer along, but some of this has to go separately to Bilouxi before I get to Florida. Joy. Such is the nature of simplifying, that it's ( Read more... )

Yet again, things have been busy and I haven't taken the time to add entries . . . .

Blah.

Finished the first edit of Love Gun on Sunday. New changes are being made and we anticipate the second edit to be ready by Wednesday and maybe even get shown at the Alamo Drafthouse before Weird Wednesday ( Read more... )

Currently listening to the first new Hitchhiker's Guide episode from BBC4's HHGttG website. Happy happy.

Overall, the trilogy transfers are excellent. The only major gripe I have is the scene with Tarkin & Leia in ANH. Picture quality goes in and out and the dialogue goes from clean ADR (or just a nicely miced overhead) to a really bad ambient recording. I don't know if they lost the original masters or if it's just digital quality showing the ( Read more... )

Wow, crazy week that last one was. In the wake of Ivan, I had my mother, sister, and grandparents at the house from Tuesday to Sunday. Allthewhile, I was still busy at work with an annoying project that kept me late most days ( Read more... )

Still more editing and brainstorming last night ( Read more... )

Still more editing last night. Thank god it's becoming a trend, I was starting to think I'd just flat out lose interest and never finish this short. Part of the reason for that, I've come to realize is that it's not my own project. Sure, I've done a lot of the technical work on it and basically created all of the shots, but it's not my baby. So, I ( Read more... )

Last night I did a first pass on editing the driving scene with Buttus and the rookie and gamma corrected the grave scene. The driving scene ended up flowing much easier than I originally thought it would, although I'm sure that there will be at least one line cut to speed it up a bit. In fact, I have a pretty good idea of where that cut's gonna be ( Read more... )

Looks like Atari is finally cashing in on the retro craze for real (not that they haven't made attempts before, TV games anyone?). I know they've released anthologies of arcade tittles before and even released an anthology for the computer, but this is truly a godsend. No more barely inaccurate Stella on the PC or my Dreamcast. It's the real deal ( Read more... )

Here's another quick entry to prove that I'm not dead, just lazy.

Went to Orlando last weekend for Disney and a few other things. Think I may be spending some time out there, sometime in the future.

Riding Star Tours gave me another great buzz that I'm still coming down from. Damn, I'm a whore for Star Wars.
