Trying to figure out how to do a 2-up saddle stitch booklet in Indesign is a pain. Finally got it after several wasted pages and little patients .
WatchLate- A Short Film
For a film production class I’m taking, I was required to make a short film. This is really my first attempt at such a project. Overall I’m pretty happy with the results considering the time crunch I was under. Yes there are some things I don’t like and would do differently, but overall It’s not too bad for my first attempt. Everything was shot on the Nikon D7000 and GoPro HD...
A girl is doing a presentation in my consumer behavior class on the “digital artist” market segment. She says they like nick-con cameras and buy Macs because they come with Illustrator installed. She also says they buy from Apple in New York because there are no close Apple Stores. Umm… I don’t think she knows what she’s talking about! Wow! Oh and another student...
Been using some of Red Giant Software’s color grading tools in FCPX. Really like what i’m seeing.

Had a major sound malfunction at church today. The pulpit mic was picking up some kind of interference that was making farting noises. Luckily our paster joked about it and made it funny. Switched to the wireless face mic. Good thing they always wear the wireless just in case. I was trying to signal for her to switch mics but finally just had to yell from the booth lol.

Salesforce CEO: Why I gave Apple the ‘App Store’ trademark in exchange for great advice from Steve Jobs
I was reading over the syllabus of my motion picture and video techniques class and saw we are going to have to do a video project. The professor recommended getting familiar with the rental equipment and to go ahead and reserve editing time in the lab. I don’t think I’ll be renting equipment, nor editing on PCs using who knows what. I hope I can come up with a kick ass concept and...

WatchDowntown #Greenville fireworks!
Well I sold my PowerMac after less than a day on eBay. I’ll be stuck with the laptop until I get a replacement. I think I’m going to wait on the rumored refresh of the MacPro. The design is supposed to be different and have a exclusive CPU. Rumors have the refresh in August. We’ll see if I can hold off that long.
WatchI just installed Apple Motion, which is a motion graphics and special effects program similar to Adobe After Effects. I have zero experience with motion graphics and special effects, but want to learn. I am planning on making a tutorial series on Motion and Final Cut Pro X very soon.
What you see here is motion tracked text similar to what is used in the movie Zombieland. It was super easy!...
