digi beta weekend

this coming friday, i'm picking up a digital betacam deck and spending the majority of the weekend capturing all the footage of the film into the avid for the final on-line. i'm confident that it should all be fine. of course, i'm working with about six and half hours of footage to digitize, so i've got my work cut-out for me.

the past few weeks have been rather hectic, and i haven't been able to work on the film as much as i like. tho, i was able to work a little bit on re-doing the opening titles using After Effects. as much as i like using the program, as with all effects, it can get a little overly complicated. the program gives you a ton of options in manipulating pretty much everything. but if you're not careful, you can get a little lost in being able to do simple effects. so, i'm trying to keep it simple. so far so good...

me and paul are heading up to new york for the x-mas holiday, then up to philly for new years, then in late january, i'm headed out to l.a. to meet up with bob massey. lotsa traveling...

so, hopefully, in the time in-between, i'll find the time to work on the final editing of the film.

let's keep our fingers crossed.
