Well, yesterday we had some tornados in the area along with thunderstorms….today seems to be the same. I usually choose to keep my editing system turned off during these times. I had a situation a few years ago where a storm knocked out the power, when I finally got to turn the computer back on, it had damaged the hard drives and I lost everything….needless to say, I don’t want to ever experience that again. I do have it connected to an APC now, but I still feel as though it’s better to be safe then sorry. So these days are spent more in meetings and in trying to drum up more business for the company rather than the creative side of getting any editing done. I have 2 meetings today, 1 is with a company that might be interested in representing me as a director, the other is a friend of mine who has started a company you should check out.. Brite Revolution. We will be discussing the addition of video content onto the site.

Wednesday, June 17th, 20096/9/09 Editing Shinedown for MTV
Tuesday, June 9th, 2009Today I am working on the edits for Shinedown. I directed a live shoot in Atlanta and now it must be cut to 5 songs that will be edited into a 30min. program on MTV2. MTV sent a 3 page list of all the requirements for leaving commercial spots, slates, and black, along with final video formats and so on… should be a fun edit. I don’t know the air date yet, but I’m told it will be sometime in July. I will try and keep you posted. I’m sure the both of you that are reading this will be on the edge of your seats!!
4/15/09 Jonny Diaz & Shinedown
Wednesday, April 15th, 2009I’ve been staying pretty busy preparing for 2 projects that are coming up. The first one is a music video shoot for Jonny Diaz and his song “Beautiful You”. The second is a live shoot in atlanta for the band Shinedown. Both Music videos and Live shoots take a lot of prep work to make sure they come off smoothly so it is interesting as I toggle from one to the other renting gear, planning, and prepping. The Jonny Diaz video will be shot in a studio, I won’t tell you the concept behind it yet, you’ll have to wait and see the finished video!!! The Shinedown video shoot is taking place in Atlanta, it will be a total of 9 cameras all HD. I’ve been talking to the band since the first time I worked with them about doing this, so I’m excited that it is actually going to happen. The final cut of the show will be on MTV2 in the not so distant future, so keep an eye out for it.
3/30/09 Uploading more video content
Monday, March 30th, 2009I have been using Virb to embed the videos for this website, the only problem is that they only allow 5 uploads per week, so each Monday I have been uploading 5 new videos to the site…today I added 5 new ones so check them out and let me know what you think.
