Over the weekend I became totally overwhelmed attempting to restart the momentum on editing my flick. It seemed everywhere I looked I found more and more sound files. Almost all with the same meaningless name (e.g., MONO-<some number>.wav). I …

Ready for Round Two
I’ve got the feedback I was looking for for my rough cut. There was a lot of overlap, which will make some decisions easy. There were differences, of course, which will take more time to sort out. But I …
Ender’s Game
I watched the movie Ender’s Game before and enjoyed it. Recently I found a copy of the book in a used bookstore, so decided to see how the novel compared. I thoroughly enjoyed the book, though found the movie tracked …

Sunday afternoon we completed filming the final scene of “Shenandoah Treasure Hunt,” which happened to be the second scene chronologically in the script. The …
Three Quarters, In The Can
An update on my Treasure Hunt movie (crowdfunding link)…
Due to scheduling conflicts, we had to take two weekends off. We filmed last Saturday and Sunday and will do next weekend, then that’s probably it. There are some …
