xkcd is one of the funniest comics around. Unfortunately, I can’t share my glee with Beth. I don’t think she’d “get” any of them. Like this one.

Best Use of Line of Dialog
The judges’ awards for the Denver 48 Hour Film Project 2007 have been posted. My film “Discretion” won the award for “Best Use of Line of Dialog” which was, “I bet you think you’re clever, huh?”
too busy
Geez, my life has been too busy lately, all in the pursuit of the arts. After finishing up the grueling 48 Hour Film Project that I told you a little about in the last blog post, I spent every night last week doing some other artistic stuff. Monday, Thursday, and Friday nights were dedicated to… Continue reading too busy
48 Hour Film Project
The film I co-wrote and directed for the 48 Hour Film Project is done! The contest was this past weekend, starting at 7 PM on Friday and ending at 7:30 PM tonight. And no, I don’t know why it ends at 7:30 and not 7:00 even. But we were up late Friday night writing the… Continue reading 48 Hour Film Project
vicarious video
I had an idea the other day – something I’ve never heard of, but figure someone else must have thought about before me. I was watching a video blog (from National Geographic, I think) about Yellowstone National Park. I’ve been wishing for the past couple years that we had time and money to take a… Continue reading vicarious video
the making of “Cranium”
I got an email from a long time friend of mine, Chad Johnson. He saw my note announcing the upload of my short film “Cranium”. And he had some questions about the production of the film. This film is different enough from my other stuff that I thought it was worth writing a blog article… Continue reading the making of “Cranium”

The film is called “Cranium” and it tells the story of a horrible accident I had in France as a child. I also finished “HDTS Promo Video” today. It’s… Continue reading Cranium
a good weekend
I’ve had a really good weekend. Busy, but good. Friday night I picked Beth up at a party in Denver (I didn’t really want to go) and then we went out to Limon Peruvian restaurant, which I’ve been wanting to do for quite a while. I had scallops, and they were divine. I love it… Continue reading a good weekend

Roger Ebert noted that the AFI has published a new list of the top 100 American films of all time. Here’s what Ebert has to say about the list: :: rogerebert.com :: Commentary :: AFI 100: ‘Kane’ still number one (xhtml) And here is the list, copied from his article. I’d really like to make… Continue reading American Film Institute’s Top 100 Greatest American Films
new toys
My El Cheapo camcorder (the Samsung SC-D365, with an average Amazon.com rating of 3/5) has crapped out on me. I can’t capture digital video recorded on it without losing timecode every minute or so, so whenever I try to capture a segment of video, I end up with lots of minute long segments separated by… Continue reading new toys
