Insomniac Blogging
I slept most of the day away fighting off a migraine. So I'm up rendering video for this year's Christmas movie. I just finished the video cut and now I have to go back and start editing the sound.
Rendering takes awhile cause my workstation is two years old, and I applied a lot of video tweaks to the movie:
- Color corrected every shot
- Letterboxed the whole thing
- Added a film look to most of the shots
- Added an effect that looked like it was shot through white diffusion to make a flashback look distinct.
Now comes the awful period that will last until a month after I show this thing at the Christmas party. What I thought was funny has now, after repeated viewing, ceased to entertain me. Doubt creeps in. Will other people find it funny? Will people be offended? Worst, will other people think it's lame?
Okay, it's probably done. Onward to tedious sound design!
World's Dumbest Script
This was an email composition written today as a tribute to my friend Kendall and his absurd love of penguins.
It's also an opportunity for more Flash Paper. I'm such a geek. A weird, weird geek.
Cool Writing
So this is sort of political, but I stumbled across some great writing today, and wanted to point it out.
This was an editorial that ran in the Independent Weekly, it primarily deals with why this guy doesn't like Bush.
I don't agree with everything this guys has to say but a couple phrases jumped out at me.

Bravo's Situation: Comedy
It seems like I've been getting a couple of hits from people searching for this, so I figured I would explain my entry. I've put up a page in my writing section to do so.

Interesting series on Slate. The Diary of a Copywriter who does freelance work for Hollywood trailers and teasers.
Farewell to Fantastic Writing
Evidently we are to be hunted for sport. Hopefully someone with wisdom and vision will be smart enough to take our skin and wear it for our power.
