Home of filmmaker, improviser, and decent dude Geoff Ross.

My film came back from Fotokem and I’ve been editing ever since.  I’ve been trying a few things that are new (to me): Cutting on Avid and starting the edit with the ending sequence and working my way to the front.  Being a Final Cut Pro kind of guy cutting on Avid is somewhat of a pain.  Starting with the end and moving back to the front seems to be working in my favor.  The photo below is from that ending sequence a couple days ago.  I’ve made significant progress since then.  This excites you.

It’s Spring Break here at BU.  But, I’ve been shooting movies the whole time so, no, it’s not spring break.. Not for me.  Of course amongst those movies was my own film Happy Anniversary.  It’s a dark comedy about a man trying to divorce his wife on their first anniversary.  The shoot was one of the best directing experiences I’ve ever had.  I still have to send my film to the lab for processing so perhaps my tune will change, but I still feel pretty good about.

I could have used the vacation, though.

There is allegedly some sort of storm for the ages heading towards Boston so school was cancelled half-way through the day.  Yes, I’m rocking out to School’s Out by Alice Cooper.
