I hurriedly caught up Hunger Games in anticipation to see the movie. I'd heard a bit of speculation since I didn't go release night week. I'd heard good and bad. Thankfully, I usually don't care about all the intial reactions and either go see movies or not to find out for myself ;) So off we went! But so you know, I enjoyed the first book. I'm into the 2nd one, already halfway. It's very quick reading because some of the scenes get intense or dark, which makes it hard to put it down. I guess I am a "voracious reader" as one friend put! :D…

I've been working towards getting into better shape for over the past year. Many of you who have been following me might see me talking about HIIT sessions or sandbags, dip stations, and ugi balls, OH MY! :3 Even protein powder. I started the adventure December 2010 when I felt absolutely fed up with myself. I'm not only losing weight, but I'm adding strength and really caring about my health as well. A recent strength goal I made was being able to hold myself up during knee raises on the dip station. I can now do 10 in a row before I drop! :D What's…

So...2011 has finally come and passed. I'm not sure if I entirely loved or hated it. If I had to sum up the year, see below: Yeah. That's it. It improved at one point I'll admit, but I could have done without some of the bumps along the way. I thought it might be fun if I went back and thought of the various editing and/or production adventures, projects, freelance etc. and also the future ones to come for 2012. 2011 year in review: In almost a backwards, sort of random as it comes to mind way :) Love Dance - boom op & co-editor with…

He Who Watches Day One + Day Two Production: Making a film sounds more fun in theory than it can be in reality, but I will say I was surprised with the flow of this particular little project. The production went super smooth, actors showed up ready to go, and aside from very freezing weather outside (pretty sure my legs were numb ice stick popsicle thingies by the time I reached warm air many hours later), I did have more fun than troubles. I operated the boom mic/zoom and ran the cam on some of the bridge…

I was having a chat with @Kyl33t aka: Kylee tonight about our upcoming short horror film (psychological thriller variety) when we stopped to recognize, wow. We approach things so seriously. Worrying over the most minute detail in the case that we didn't examine the what-ifs and necessary paths ie: best scenario vs. worst, etc. At one point, she says "Look at us! Being so fussy. This was supposed to be fun. It used to be fun." We had a laugh, thinking back to our more idealistic days with fresh eyes and beginner experience. We didn't know what we know now. How so much changes the…

As some of you are aware, I am a freelance editor. I didn't set out on this journey per se upon graduation, but due to some luck and circumstance, here I am. A good portion of my work is done at home, sometimes into the wee hours of the morning or other times just throughout the whole day - depends on the project/client. While you have to understand there are many pros and cons (and a decent bit of cons) to freelancing, this HAS to be one of the perks I'd suppose - which is…
