For Various Reasons
I’m going to go vaguely auto-biographical with this entry. I suppose that is really what a blog is supposed to be. But I imagine I’d quickly degenerate into gossip should I try that often. Or, possibly, into politics, which is a subject I would someday like to share my ideas on. But not today.
Anyway, my brother and I have been working on a video job this past week. It came up quick, but we put a quote together, got it approved and it looked like all things would go smoothly.
It hasn’t.
We decided to rent the camera, mics, and lights, which we had not done before, and for various reasons, to rent an HD camera. Like I said, problems galore. So, here I am, capturing the footage (finally, but not in HD), since my brother has to be at work, three days later than planned. Hopefully, nothing else goes amiss, because I know next to nothing about Final Cut. Sure, I can call, but it would be nice if I were able to bug him a little less.
So, I threw in Search for the Holy Grail, since I don’t much feel like websiteing, and can take a break today. And what do I see that I cannot but pause it and post an article? “Continuity editor”. Yes, that’s right, Holy Grail has a continuity editor. And the absurdity of that lifts my spirits.
