Snaps from the VLA

I've posted the first few pictures of the trip thus far in the newly installed photo section. You can view them here, I'll be adding more content as the days go by. Also there's some video coming.

Upcoming Episodes: The West, the VLA and more

So I'm going on a super trip, this will be the first official dustrot. Others have come before it in spirit, but we didn't know what the hell we were doing back then. This time it's for real.

iMovie '08 - the good, the bad and the deaf

In regards to "filmmaking" I'm a novice, I know a little here and there but this isn't my day job, so keep in mind my comments are from someone who is a tech savvy amateur. With all that out of the way, I must say that iMovie '08, the newest release from Apple, is a nice refresh of the previous version but very disappointing when it comes to handling audio. Apple's big selling point for iMovie is that they completely rewrote it from scratch gearing it for the goal of producing finished product in 30 minutes, which is nice, but I think they might have thrown out the baby with the bathwater.

Shooting LA

I was in LA this last weekend, took the opportunity to shoot some video. About halfway through our excursion, I realized I didn't really have much of a plot or story arc. So now I have a bunch of video with no real cohesion other than they're from the same geographic area. This should be a nice challenge, perhaps one thats out of my league. After I finish up some work stuff, I'll start crackin' on it.
