Congrat's Vegas!!! That's great news.

Sorry to hear that, King. Hope it's a VERY temporary condition! Get better soon!!

Hard to tell from a quick overview but I don't think it's a pointless storyline. Any storyline, when properly developed, is worthwhile - and it all starts with a concept. Just like the one you described. Work on it. Work out the details. Play with the characters and see where they take the story.

Hmmm... mixed feelings about this news. I've been trying to console myself with a few questionable edits by saying, "if I had more time I'd fix it." Then again, if that one point means beating Zen then I'm all over it. No one mentioned penalties for bribing judges - should we just assume it's...

And panic strikes here too... Will be re-shooting the 50-ish mother's part tomorrow evening - not last minute or anything. Now I just have to make sure the espresso bar is cranked for high output... looks like it's going to be down to the wire to pull it all together.

Okay - here's a shot of the studio And for no apparent reason, here's a shot of my car. It should be parked in the studio (garage) but filming took priority.

One other alternative (for Windows only) is SceneWriter Pro. It's on sale right now for $19.99.

Well, you can't blame a guy for trying! A big sigh of relief this morning... we wrapped up shooting in about four hours yesterday. Preparation does come in handy after all, who would have thought? Editing and scoring is going to be the tricky part. I'm heading out of town two days this week...

Damn, and I like to hear the gossip before anyone else... Okay, no hints. But best wishes on whatever it is.

Hmmm... thinking about the bonus points for black-and-white. Do I get fractional points if my credits are b&w?

In the end, isn't really a question of self-fulfillment? Do what you love, love what you do. Everything else is inconsequential. This isn't just an aphorism. After spending 25+ years in the high tech industry, I've never been happier than I am at this point in my life because I'm doing what...

Scheduled to shoot the bulk of the footage this afternoon. Darn good thing it's raining or I might have been tempted to postpone shooting and go out for a spin on the motorcycle. Still having trouble casting one crucial role, though... what a pain in the... ummm... neck. But hey, I'm building...

Wow, I'm (almost) speechless! Thanks everyone for the birthday wishes. When I blow out the candles on the cake tonight, I'll be wishing for an overbearing 50-ish woman for a key role in my submission to ITOOFC-III. Ever had trouble recruiting for such a role? Me: "Say, you'd be perfect for...

From the sound of it... I'd like to see MYSELF in Vegas! Seriously though, have you given thought to how much content will be strictly Las Vegas based and how much of a more generic nature? Is the plan for a streaming site or archived "view-on-demand" segments?

An extension on the deadline? That would be a pleasant surprise! I've spent more time building stuff for my studio (or garage, depending on what's parked in there) than I have on anything else during this project. For those of you interested, I constructed some portable fluorescent towers...

Very impressive venue, Clive. I spoke again with the owner of our local Community Theater and he's quite interested in the idea. We discussed the idea of having a "whole weekend" festival and we may be able to have the theater for greatly reduced (or no) cost. There are several film festivals...

I have to re-cast one part, but other than that I'm on schedule. That's the "full bore linear panic" schedule, not the one I originally drafted.

I've got a venue in our town - a historic 300 seat 1930's era movie house. I talked with the owner and he thinks it's a great idea. Renting the theater on a prime night (Fri, Sat, Sun) would be expensive. Prohibitively expensive in my opinion. Mid-week is much more reasonable - almost a...

I wondered if another well know member name, Hail to the King, referred to King Goldfish. I wouldn't change your name though. Your avatar wouldn't make sense with a different name.

One thing I've noticed about the AMD-64 based boards is that many don't have built-in Firewire ports. Call me a traditionalist, but I like Firewire over USB 2.0 especially for video connections. I've noticed a marked difference in rendering times using my dual-CPU machine over a faster...
