Stills from the movie

A few stills from the movie. As promised.

the 10-day movie

So i'm working on this documentary video. It will be all of 25 minutes long. So far, it's taken over 15 months.
Meanwhile, 3 friends and I shot and edited a 28 minute short film in 10 days. And most of those days I was working in the office. Of course, we didn't sleep at all the last three days and 30 minutes before our first show we were racing to the theatre, having just copied everything off the editing machine onto a hard drive. 10 minutes before the show I had just finished hooking up the drive to my laptop and my laptop to the projector so we could make sure it worked. But the show went off without a hitch...if only all movies were so easy.

Oh, and I'll post so screen shots later on.

I'm not the only one

ok, so I'm insanely busy right now and wasn't going to post today (or this week even) but this was just too good not to mention:
You all remember a few months ago a had an interesting mistaken msn identity adventure? Well, he's back!

About 10 minutes ago, an msn window popped up and I the following exchange took place:

and speaking of addiction...

Well, just when it seems that I've got that whole flickr thing under control, I run out and buy a new camera.
oops.
But at least it's old and funky and russian. And it only cost me $25. I can't wait to go out and take pictures of old, funky, russian things with it.
