Day 325 / A Zombie For Inthia Pt. 1

January 25th, 2011   (I apologize for the delay in posting again.  I recently had an all-nighter at work combined with a bad case of food poisoning.  It was not good.)   But today…   I had a lovely day off.  The weather was perfect.  I took June to the Children’s Museum and we had […]

Day 326 / Panoramic Misfire

January 26th, 2011   On my way into work this morning I recieved a phone call from one of my clients at Disney.  He informed me of a small fire-drill.  A fire-drill is a term they use for a project that has just come up that usually needs to be done by early morning the […]

Day 327 / Last Ditch Effort

January 27th, 2011 My iphone woke me up at my office at 5am and I slowly made my way into my edit bay.  I finished my edit as quickly as possible.  By 8am I relayed the cut over to the client and went back to sleep on the sofa.  At 9am, I received some notes on […]

Day 328 / Slitscanning Old Footage

January 28th, 2011   I took the day off this friday and recuperated a little.  June spent the day with grandma so Jenny and I both had some free time to relax a little.  I worked most of the morning posting the last three days to the blog since I’d had a bit of catching […]

Day 329 / Tabletop Turns

January 29th, 2011   Today was the first day of four consecutive days on set.  I have to apologize for posting late again but I’m getting home with just barely enough time to do something creative let alone post them.  Organizing the photos and writing these posts can sometimes take longer than the actual creative […]

Day 330 / Twist

  January 30th, 2011   Had quite a long day on set today.  I should’ve called my crew in later because we had to wait until the end of the shoot day to shoot some interviews.  I left set around 11pm at night.   My creative thing was already decided upon because I had filmed […]

Day 331 / Abe Lincoln Shadow Puppet

January 31st, 2011   On the film, the crew works an offset work week.  So they work through Saturday and Sunday and finally get their weekend on Wednesday, Thursdays.  The reason they do this, I think, is for discounts on equipment rentals because most rental houses charge for only one day over the two day […]

Day 332 / Underwater Recording

February 1st, 2011 Another late call time and another late wrap.  I left set almost at midnight.  Halfway through the day there was a little scare. My co-worker Todd sent me an email telling me that one of our clients at Disney wanted me to cut a promo for the Walt Disney Company and it had to […]

Day 333 / DIY Snuggie With Snack Sack

February 2nd, 2011   Okay, I know.  This one isn’t exactly as creative as I usually like to be but it was a matter of circumstance.   This morning I woke up with June and while she ate breakfast I checked my email.  I was unfortunately surprised to find an email from my co-worker Todd.  […]

Day 334 / Playing With A Compass

February 3rd, 2011   I woke up at 7am on the sofa at my office.  I got up and went directly back to editing.   It was a busy day at the office too and I was pretty delirious.  Nathan and I both worked through the day on the promo reel.  After lunch we got […]

Day 335 / Big News and A Minimal Landscape

February 4th, 2011   I woke up early and went off to set.  It was a crazy day because we are coming to the end of shooting on The Muppets and I still had quite a few interviews to gather.   I wrapped my crew around 8pm and was home by 9.  While on set, […]

Day 336 / Gear-Making Test

February 5th, 2011   I spent most of Saturday morning preparing my previous creative days for posting to the blog.  I was pretty backed up.  The last five days have been non-stop busy for me and I haven’t had even a moment to spend writing or organizing my posts.   Unfortunately, I had to be […]

Day 337 / A Paper Cactus For Wendy

February 6th, 2011   Super bowl sunday and the first time in two weeks that I’ve had a day off!   We had our friends Jeff and Wendy over to our place for breakfast.  The afternoon was spent installing a couple of pendant lights over my dining room table.  We picked them up almost a […]

Day 338 / Everyday Macros

February 7th, 2011   I worked on set and got home around 11pm.  I drove home thinking I was going to do a little dry-erase animation and I felt like I had the energy for it.  When I arrived home I couldn’t find the connector to get my camera mounted on the stand.  I looked […]

Day 339 / The Harris Shutter Effect

February 8th, 2011   I got home from set at midnight tonight and again I felt very uninspired.  I hope this isn’t a trend.  Jenny was in bed at the time and I cuddled her for awhile and then fell asleep.  She woke me up at 1:30 am and told me I had to do […]

Day 340 / Auditory Visuals

February 9th, 2011   Today was a day back at the office.  It was nice to be back.  I spent most of my time organizing tapes.  I got home at my normal time for once.  I was home before June was off to bed.  It was nice because it seemed like Junie was older all […]

Day 341 / Paper Flock

February 10th, 2011   Actually, I can’t believe this is what I did for my creative thing.  I couldn’t have waited any later to start my project this evening.   I had the whole day off and I spent much of it working on my art show.  I visited the gallery and measured the space […]

Day 342 / Variation On The Muppet Show Theme

February 11th, 2011   Today was the last day on The Muppets.  I had to go to set because they needed me to shoot a short “to camera” intro thing with Kermit.  We got that done fairly quickly and continued to shoot  b-roll for the rest of the day.  Word spread that a special cameo […]

Day 343 / The Ultimate Bubble-Maker

February 12th, 2011   It was a pretty full day.  I spent much of the early hours prepping the photos on my blog for printing for the art show.  It’s going to be an epic print order to say the least.   At 2 pm it was Junie’s nap-time and I fell asleep next to […]

Day 344 / Prepping For An Epic Print Order

February 13th, 2011   We woke up early and joined our friends Jeff and Wendy for breakfast.  Afterwards, I took June to her very first movie theatre experience!  I took her to see Tangled.  She made it until about act 3 of the film and then she was ready to go home.  It’s all good.  […]

Day 345 / Modding My App

February 14th, 2011   Monday morning and back to work.  It was a pretty mellow day at the office and I got home in time to put June to bed.  I hung out with Jenny until it was time for bed and then I sat there searching for something to do.  As I searched the […]

Day 346 / Cutting Up Record Covers

February 15th, 2011   I had a shoot today.  I was actually the cameraman which was a nice change of pace.  It’s been a while since I’ve used the equipment at the office.  We had a burglary some time ago and the lighting kit we have now is all new so it was good to […]

Day 347 / Layout For A Music Video

February 16th, 2011   I had another shoot today.  It was a pretty hectic location shoot with multiple crews all trying to get they’re own bits.  Ultimately, I had enough time to set-up the shot and we just waited for our moment with the talent.   After my work day, I had plans to meet […]

Day 348 / First Steps To The Pintograph

February 17th, 2011   A bit of a break from shooting today.  Back to office and leaving for home on time.  I had to get home on time because Jenny was going out with her friends tonight.  I drove home with thoughts of the music video in my head.  It turns out the pan & […]

Day 349 / Starting With Arduino

February 18th, 2011   Not a bad day.  I had a shoot around 3pm and I got out by 8pm.  Pretty sweet!  I wish I could tell you more about my shoot because I really felt like I was witnessing a small slice of film history being made this evening.  All I can say is […]
