YAY our camera came this week! How exciting! I need to brush up on some old lessons I learned in High School and learn the new. Shawn has been adventuring around with the camera and taking some really awesome pictures and videos. My favorite video is of the trees with tiny leaves falling cus it looks so pretty!
We have a few more things to finish on the Visit and we have a presentation in about 10 days. I am not entirely sure what to say about it other than working in final cut pro can be very challenging for a new person. I hope that my edits and corrections will show the importance of every aspect of shooting a film and editing can be a lot easier with careful planning. I really want to bring footage of the original shoot and compare and contrast the editing in FCP.
I do want to discuss the importance of lighting and sound and the necessary people to be on top of both at all times during the shoot.
In my personal life I had to deal with some tough things these past few months. I am working through a lot and trying to focus on being the best me I can be. I have been trying to be truthful to the reality of life and not sugar coat my feelings and thoughts to the detriment of my own well being. Frankly, I just cant tell you the lies you want to hear. I am not your therapist. I will only invest my time, effort, feelings, love, etc. on the people that reciprocate. Cutting some ties is just in the cards for me. Developing my new relationships will fill that void.
Also, we finally purchased some business cards. After viewing HUNDREDS if not at least 1,000 designs and options we finally agreed on a design and I purchased them! woo hoo! Very Excited! Watch out world, here we come.

Red Lipstick
I made some important decisions today. First being that I frankly cant afford throwing parties both physically and financially. I hope I did not hurt anyone's feelings.
I had an appointment with my new hairdresser today and let me say the color of lipstick she so confidently wore was awesome. And she talked to me like a real person even tho I will pay her later. Sales... but I am comfortable and that is all that matters.
Ugh its taken me three (3) days to finish this post... Thanks life and comcast ugh.
I dont have anything interesting to say anymore not that I did before.

Off Point Media
Recently began a new production company with my partner of life. Life couldn't be more exciting. I bought an iMac and got Final Cut Pro and let me say its so very difficult to learn but I have confidence that it will be awesome. The first project "The Visit" is coming along. I really wish we had our camera... I would feel like we could then do just about anything.
I received some really good advice this week. I have a very stressful day time job and work extremely closely with two (2) other people that at times the environment becomes unbearable and as such becomes too difficult to handle. At these moments and even in the good times it is important to have these experiences because the people and environment should be logged as potential story elements, ideas, characters and life on paper if you make it. We all have different lifestyles and always grab from our experiences. Utilizing these moments and feelings with descriptions of events may create something useful for the future. If that makes any sense.
Today otherwise was a good day. Lets just say a Defendant in a particular case came into the office today (a usual 6 month appearance) to settle a debt. The fact that on this occasion I did not pretend to NOT know him actually flattered him. I do not understand why knowing his face and knowing his name would be flattering as I work in debt collecting. Regardless, he gave his business card in case I needed any Carpentry work and proceeded to half wink at me. Maybe he really wanted to offer his carpentry services or maybe his persistent delinquency gives this man a reason to come to the office to pay his debt to me. Keep in mind it does not say on any document that it is necessary to drive to the office to make payments and that all payments can be mailed....etc. He may not look like a creeper but I am indeed a little creeped out. I want to feel flattered because at least he is not 60 (like most of our clients) that hit on me. But who in their right mind would want date someone that obviously cannot pay his bills on time. Granted I understand "hard" times and with this particular defendant I know money is not the issue. Ugh, kind of creeping myself out more.
Tonight will bring more editing and playoff hockey. I will be sad when Hockey is over I feel like its the perfect half watch half in the background to my editing.
Chow. :P
