Recently I watched a rough cut of “Cotton Clouds”, a short film written, directed, and edited by Grandin Film Lab student Chloe Shelton. I was there to review color, as they are getting closer to the final cut of the movie. I was very impressed, actually got a little emotional over it. I had gone […]
Perspectives from recovering addicts, artists and creatives in recovery, and the family and friends who love the addict but hate the disease. “I Hate How Much I Love You” is a new documentary film currently being produced by Dave. The first set of interviews took place in Los Angeles in February and more are scheduled […]
I want to thank everyone for a great year in 2017… Um..,wait, no…that just sounds so cliché. When I think about the past year, I want to say that it was a stream of wonderful successes, creative breakthroughs, financial security, sound judgment, and powerful emotional wellness and mental well being. If I said that, I’d be […]
One of the things I like about the work I do is meeting cool people. I was fortunate to meet Dr. Julien Meyer Jr., although only briefly. He requested DVD copies of a video I did for an awards banquet at which he was being honored. In return he gave me a copy of his […]
Digital imaging has changed the way we capture and think about still pictures, movies, and video. That’s obvious. Cell phone cameras have all but replaced still and video cameras in most households. No longer do family get togethers have to rely on the family photo geek, to get decent pictures and photo albums. Slide shows are now […]
Spring is here! Well, at least the calendar says so. It didn’t feel like it while driving home in the cold rain and snow the other night. My mother in Maine will tell you how much snow there is to dig out from under right now. But despite the weather, the blossoms are still bloomin’, the sprouts […]
“If you have to ask, you wouldn’t understand to begin with.” I think there are only two things I could say this about: The Grateful Dead Harley-Davidson Both are serious power houses in their own right. Both have seen the bottom of the ditch and have pulled out of it, more than once. Both have […]
One thing I love about working with different crews is the different language, the different stories, the different people…ultimately it’s a different culture. Quacker, squeezer, gaffer, grip, baby pin, fat boy, fat man. Kentatha, Cliff, Texas, Jimmy Jets and Rockets, Johnny-A, The Golden Yummy, fishing hole, suck it, you deleted Jesus? These are all names […]
Sometimes, I feel like my work means nothing, nothing at all except some personal satisfaction and a way to satisfy my creative need. Now I’m not saying there’s anything wrong with that. Who doesn’t love a pat on the back every once in a while. But if that’s all it is, does it really matter […]
Getting From Here To There Fall is a transitional season. It signals the end of something and the beginning of something else, the end of warm and beginning of cold, the end of vacation, the beginning of school. In Virginia, we tend to have a pretty smooth transition from warm to cold, sometimes it’s not […]
