Catching up

OK, so it's been a long, long time since I updated what's been going on. It's been really busy the past few months and I've barely had time to come up for air.

Mainly, I've been doing a lot of work for CMD, which means a lot of projects for Intel, and some HP & Jeld-Wen. I recently completed editing a pair of remarkable stories that are part of an anti-Meth campaign funded by Jeld-Wen. The two documentary pieces turned out really well, and I'm very proud of the work I was able to do on them. I hope to have copies available on-line soon.

I also had the opportunity to work for ESPN Sportscenter covering the NBA Finals in San Antonio. That was a ton of fun and a great change of pace and scenery (although I could have done without the heat). I hope to continue working with ESPN in the future, even more so now that hockey is back!

Another fun project was cutting a trailer for an independent film being produced here in Portland, Freedom State. The film was shot in DVCProHD with the Panasonic VariCam, and I was able to capture the footage via Firewire directly into Final Cut Pro without any additional hardware. Quite exciting to be able to work in HD without taking out a 2nd, 3rd, and 4th mortgage on the house. The trailer can be seen at the official site for the film.

That's the latest news for now. A lot has been going on, and it sure looks like the production slump in Portland is over.

Stay tuned for more news...
