The Final Edit

In an earlier post I mentioned having conceived of a video to help out a co-worker. Today the cinematographer along with the TV 36 anchorwoman stopped by work to show us the (almost) finished product. I must say I was very impressed with the quality and editing despite the fact that it was basically conceptualized and filmed in one day. I'm not sure how long the editing took.

I spoke with the cinematographer as I need some advice as to what type of camcorder I should purchase, as well as the best editing software for the iMac I hope to be purchasing soon. As far as the camcorder is concerned I think I'm leaning towards a mini-DV, which is a small cassette tape that can be transferred over to digital to manipulate in the editing program.

The guy gave me his contact information so hopefully he'll help me out. I'd like to start shooting some short films I've conceived over the past several years. No Stef- it's not porn. It's art!

Porn can be art-ful... in a way...

Sorry I haven't been commenting on your bloggy blog blog lately. I've been a tad busy. I bought a laptop! *self applause*. That was... Monday? And since then, I've been watching Lord of the Rings 1 and 2 (happily again) with Pixie and Isis (Helen and Natalie). Late nights watching gorgeous hobbits, elves, wizards, and... Aragorn. Sigh... how I adore you Viggo Mortisson! Also, L.I. and I have determined that she is Frodo and I am Sam. Sam and I have some similarities... I know, I'm pathetic. But it gets even more pathetic! We are also Thelma and Louise...

Also, thanks for the dream analysis. I have a lot on my plate as of now. It's stressful deciding what to do with my life. I have no idea what to go to college for. My my says to take business classes so she can get me a job at Lincoln Electric (where she works) and I can be a secretary type person. BUT, she is a very life controlling person. She sucks the joy out of me. I can never have a good time since I always think of her in the back of my mind. THEN, my family might be moving back to CRO. And I DO NOT want to move there. Yes it's very beautiful, but society there and here is so much different. They have everything we have, don't get me wrong. But it's just... different. Maine is more like an idea. Freedom from all holding me back. No more worries. Maine is my eden as of now.
Back to college, I'm an artsy person. I wish to be creative and unique. My family does not understand this. They are the complete opposite of me. Our ideals are so different...

So that is a snippet (?) to my problems. There are a lot more, trust me.

Sorry this was so long... I didn't mean to vent...

And yes, I consider myself an old soul. And I'm happy about it!

I'll be suprised if you read this far... if ya did... then cheers to you!

Steve is KEWL!!!
Wolfe, did you know that Mental Vertigo is a man stealer?
I am obtaining a man that says he dreams of true love. He says that it is all he wants out of life, and he even likes writing racy stories and fanfictions, like me!!!
Now, Mental Vertigo says she had a crush on him for "a few days" and now I do not trust her, considering her track record in the man-stealing department. All he wants to do is sit in the sun under the shade of an oak tree with me, or perhaps walk barefoot with me on the beach with the wind a blowing. Is it wrong of me to be suspicious of my Sam Wise Gamgee/Louise esque best pally? She says she will never do that to me, and he is the faithful type, but it is still her I do not trust!!! She can't even tell me she loves me or give me a hug but she can like my guy!!! Hmmmpphhh!!!
(Wait a minute... I thought I was the one with the advice column? Sorry Wolfe, it seems as though you are now privy to the venting of two very odd teenage ducks.)

Anywho, you are right. It seems like art to me. You should see the porn story Pixie wrote for Gundum Wing!!!
But that sounds way cool. I want my own damn camcorder now!!! (pouts)
Well, now I am done rambling. *nods*

Is that Linus up there in the corner? Your blog is great fun to read. Even the more sobering stuff - it's always enlightening to see how people think on paper or on a keyboard.

I noticed in some of your earlier posts you said you weren't sure if you were blogging correctly. I don't think there is a correct way (or if there is, I've completely ignored it, and I suggest you do the same). You do what you like with it, it's yours, so you're doing it right. Glad to see you're keeping up with it.

Stef- NEVER apologize, unless you owe me money, or cause bodily harm of any kind!

Did you know I used to be Viggo Mortenson's (sp?) hairdresser?

I do appreciate your long vent/remarks/comments! Always welcome unless you hurt my feelings and make me cry!

& yes, I did read "this far", & I don't even know how to read.

C. Louis Wolfe said...

How can you be both Steve & anonymous?! or is this Pajamas secretly using Steves blog ID?

I'm glad your reading my life long (so far) friend.

Finally! LittleIsis surfaces on my blog. It's about time!

I don't know you well enough to know if your kidding in reference to Stef in your comment. You must be because Your well aware she'll read it! If it is true, lot's of drama! You guys need to have a sit down.
