Hello

Dave's return to the blog has inspired me to repost. Haven't done much (any) "writing", but still editing. Seems editing video (mostly music videos at this point) is my favorite thing to do. I think about writing and actually wrote a few poems (which I haven't done in about 2 years) the other weekend when I was down. But as far as developing new projects, shorts and things, I've fallen off. However, have made a few videos, and looking back over the year, I hadn't a one under my belt. Sad for a guy claiming to want to learn this art. But now, I've shot, wrote, cut, and published 12 actual videos. I know so much more about what I'm doing with a collection of clips, have a system down, and can have fun. Here's another racing video I just finished for a guy trying to break into professional racing. It's his promo, and it is my second paid project. (unless you cound the 8 gansta rap vids which you can check out on myspace.com/149films). I think it turned out well. Learned a shit load.








Also, finally got the studio version of a song for The Adventures of Tone Loc. It's a reality bit about a local celebrity with dreams of making it big...I've just begun taking notes on the clips. The camera work is decent considering I only had my camera for two weeks when we decided to shoot it. No boom. No lights. No knowledge. The material is funny. Real funny actually. I think a 27 min finished product. With a small music video at the end. It should keep me busy for a while. But, then I won't have to do anymore gangsta rap vids...for a while.
