Number Three is in the Can

Just when you thought it was safe, here I am back early. Neither of us wanted to keep working but we were so close to finishing that we forged ahead and Borrowed Tools: II More Surface Design is ready for editing. As you can see from below, I question whether this is a career I would ever want to pursue full time....but trust me, I looked better last night. Did lose control of my tongue about eleven p.m. but no one will notice because the samples turned out great.

Thought this would be a nice quiet recovery day but have to pick up son Craig at the airport at 3:45 a.m. He is returning from Las Vegas after acquiring multiple Microsoft certifications in two weeks. Trying to decide whether to stay up or go to sleep and set alarm. In either case, tomorrow will be a lost week day.....but Monday's are always slightly scattered for me so if I have to lose a day Monday is good.

Anxious to get back to work in the studio but first have to get the studio cleaned first....a good job for mindless Monday. One positive comment about doing the instructional dvd's is that it makes you focus on how you actually work. You have to take apart step by step your process in a way that other people can understand. The same thing is true for a book except you can edit a book until you get it right. With film, you only have so many times you can do this before you lose interest and train of thought. This dis-interest reads well on film....so the audience also will lose interest. " Being on" for hours with no audience but the camera is very different than with an audience. Glad this one is over and now have a few months to get everything ready for the next shoot.

The fourth in the MasterClass series is on Creative Exercises so lots of work to do getting samples ready. In the meantime, gotta quilt some of the tops waiting in the wings...no pun intended.

True nattering today so time to shut-up....will let you know how the super red-eye visit to the airport went later.
