In preproduction

Right now I am primarily focused on Egg & David’s wedding video. I have logged all the video on my computer and I have worked out a basic plan for layout and DVD creation. The vows sequence has been laid out. I have to work on the brightness/contrast and sound. I will probably wait until I lay out more of the wedding clips.

The Disney video is on hold. I still need some still photos of: Aunt Claire, Kirsten, Jimmy, Uncle Greg, Aunt Suzanne, Nana, Poppop, uh, everyone except the kids. (If there are really great pix of the kids I will try to use them. I am requesting pix of everyone else because right now the video is about 90% Jessie, Zane & Zoe and I’d like to include as much of the family as possible in the final video-even though JZ² make for fun video shots).

Other projects include: my trip to Ireland, the New Hampshire flood of October 2005, New Years Eve 2004/2005 at Seyon Ranch, various birthday parties, The Big Clean-up (me removing all the trash certain meanies dumped in the backyard), and the dogs playing in the snow. I will make DVDs for the wedding, Ireland and Disney with some clips on this Website. Most of the other footage will be Website exclusives. (There may be a DVD or two made up of special clips from the other video projects). I’m thinking of doing a short on dance sequences. I have some nice stuff: couples first dances, kids being cute, some of my friends doing an Irish jig in Ireland, Chris embarrassing himself at Seyon. Ok. Maybe not that last one.

I’m also thinking of doing a before and after sequence to show those who are interested a little bit about the digital non-linear desktop editing process. I’ll start with a sequence from one of the bigger video projects that hasn’t been edited or cleaned up. I’ll then take you through the process to the finished product.

So there will be a lot to see in the (near?) future.
