September 2013 Archives

I am on an extended leave of absence from routine employment. So I create my own deadlines to keep me moving through my creative goals. My goal now: a new video posted each week, by Wednesday. More videos per week if I can manage!

Two things are slowing down my video production nowadays:

1: my 2008-era MacBook Pro. I will upgrade when Apple releases their next models, which I pray will be October 2013.

2: my sore back

My sore back is the topic of my video this week - experimenting with more technique in Final Cut Pro X to improve the looks and flow of my video.

A Painfull Storie, on YouTube:

Fortunately I find myself embarrassed by the videos I made just two weeks ago so that means I must be improving, right?

I found tons of free footage online - thanks to OrangeHD, Footage Island, Alex Free Stock Video, Phil Fried, bottledvideo.com, and BroBryce on YouTube. As usual, my music is free from the Internet Archive.

BTW - my back is getting better each day; I've got exercises from my doctor :-) Soon I hope I won't have a sore back to explain my recent slothful online oversharing!

I made another video! It's about Burning Man - my sixth trip to that art party in the Nevada Desert.

YouTube: This Just In from Burning Man:

I posted it a few days ago and then updated my web site here. I guess if you were subscribed to my YouTube channel you would already know. Or Twitter or Facebook or something. Man there's a lot of ways we can touch each other online!

And someone asked for my old Burning Man stories - there's a few.
