Tryin’ out the new digs.
So I feel kind of like I feel when I move into a new home. There isn’t any art on the wall, the floors are empty, stuff is crammed in boxes .. .
But its all good This space will, as every space I’ve ever lived in, fill in with random crap as I accumulate it. I’ve got some of my old stuff in already – if you peruse the links, you’ll see the standard-issue blogroll, as well as an archive link that will give you the contents of my old blogger.com blog from 2001-2003. I’m working on getting the other blog posts moved over here. Once I get it all worked out, I might even try and parse out the image links and fix all that as well.
I hired a guy for about $550 to shoot some video from a helicopter in Branson. After innumerable phone messages, I got the tape today. It looks like, in the words of my co-worker, it was shot by an epileptic third grader (apologies to any epileptic third-graders). I’m so bitter. I trusted this guy with a big part of this project, and now I look like a dork because he didn’t care enough to shoot this video correctly. People suck. Of course, I’m part of people.
You get what you pay for, bro. Did the shooter use an HD camera? This is the 21st century. Did he shoot digital? This is the 21st century. I have a great shooter and am also happy to direct and produce for you. Just run up the signal flags, matey! Ye must have a steady-cam rig or a nose-mount to make anything, shot from a helo, useful in post. It’s an equipment thing! Damn, I was born 200 years too late.
