This is what we came for! The last day turned it on and we finally got what we needed! Smiles all around!
I think I can safely say that there is nothing quite like quiet reflection. As I sit here in the comfort of my office on the Sunshine Coast surrounded by normality, the last day of the shoot in Mexico seems so distant that the craziness of it all seems almost diminished.
However it doesn’t take too much pondering before the road train of memories slam into the forefront of my consciousness. I’m whisked back to the hot, intense, fateful, final day of the shoot where the planets aligned to give us some of the best results of the trip.
It was painful in real life, it’s only fitting that it be painful to watch and the second half of this video really is. You wish it was finished, over done, complete. . .welcome to my world!
A day of shooting around 16 hours in length may have affected my ability to function normally, think straight, post well. . .but Mexico is amazing!!! And when the sun is shining, the shots fall onto the high speed compact flash card like drops of honey from the hive!
This is clearly the best weather one could hope for if one were on the last day of a shoot and needed to nail some aerials. . .
Sometimes things don’t go your way, and you just have to keep laughing. I’m becoming really good at that now. It’s lucky, because today really threw us a curve ball. . .
This is what we've been waiting for. . .blue skies and sunshine!
In the filtered pre-dawn light, warning lights flashed brightly on the dash. Luis turned the key in the ingition, the starter motor chugged to life, but refused to start the car. Again and again he tried, but each time the engine just emitted a tortured whirring sound before lapsing into silence. It was 6am and having joked endlessly about worst case scenarios, funnily enough, this one never came up. It’s always the way. . .
Had to go back to Final Cut Pro 7 to work on an old project. It sucked. 6 months in with #FCPX and I couldn't stand to go back to that!10:11:31 AM January 19, 2012from TweetDeck
Hey #fcpx users. Take a normal clip. Reverse it. Apply optical flow. What Happens? Stops dead in its tracks here with a still frame???09:33:57 PM November 16, 2011from TweetDeck
