At five minutes and six seconds after 4 AM on the 8th of July this year, the time and date will be:

04:05:06 07/08/09.

This will not happen again for a thousand years.

I will be sitting in front of a clock at that exact moment to experience this great moment in history. I recommend everyone to do the same.

They are having so much fun

I just got done eating some Wendy's, I hit up the drive thru on the way back to the shop. I took my double cheeseburger fries and sugar free lemonade, sat down, turned on the tube and the first thing I saw was a commercial for McDonalds. It is not that I enjoy Mc D's, honestly their food makes me feel funny, funny like my tummy hurts. But the commercial made me jealous, not of their food, I didn't feel like I went to the wrong fast food joint, but I was jealous of all the people in the commercial. They are all in their twenties, like myself and they are all having such a joyous time. Sitting around making some hip hop music dancing about, enjoying a big mac and having the time of their lives. I thought to myself, I want to go to there and hang with those people. It mades me envious of the Mcdonalds party it seems like the only way the party could get any cooler is if Ronald should up with the Hamburglar and Grimace in tow.

Championship Boxing

For those interested in seeing the video that kept me up late the other night editing, check out my other site. I have it posted there. Enjoy.

It's gonna be a late one...

I just love it when people call up amieds productions and want a 60 commercial made and I quote "as soon as possible".  I like the business and I enjoy the work, but why can't I get a call a few days in advance.  Now I got a two pm deadline tomorrow.  So this leaves the night to get it done.  I have three mac's busy working and hopefully my creativity will be firing on all cylinders tonight to turn out a good product.  I will have to wait and see.  Look for the commercial in the next few weeks on Comcast promoting Championship boxing at the Woodland.   I get handed a folder full of video's I didn't shot, images pulled off the web, and a voice over.  This is always a fun way to work,  keep that in mind, and the deadline I was on when you judge my work.

My new favorite website

I have been called a photoshop wiz by a select handful of individuals, I have taught a few classes on photoshop in the past, both general photoshop to beginners and also more in depth instruction on using photoshop to create graphics for video.  I tell you this, because photoshop can be a very complicated program to understand at first.  There are many tools and menus to master, I can teach how to use to the tools, but I can't and don't teach composition or design fundamentals.  And that folks is why I recommend taking a look at this site, learn from others mistakes and don't make the same.

Idiot hunting....

 I got a call that I was needed on the other side of town, it was a video emergency.   So I grabbed my gear and headed out.  Now Michigan roads are always under construction, so I relied on my navigation on my phone to get me there avoiding said construction, I was guided by the construction, but found myself on 28th street.  I have long sense avoided 28th because I truly do believe it is the mecca of idiot drives and a haven for a-holes in automobiles.  Driving is an easy task, everyone on the road has or should have some sort of training in the act, but not on 28th street.  That has what lead me to state the fact that if you ever need to find an idiot, look no further then the rusted out four door or busted up astro van.  No other road do I know that is a gathering point or a main thoroughfare for idiots, my guess is that at some place along the busy street there is an underground club only for idiots, they sing and dance, run into things and listen to Green Days 'american idiot', which by the way is their theme song.... 

A reminder.....

The way I start my week; roll out of bed around 11, take care of some wash and clean up the house from the weekend.  Typical monday for me.  ( to clear up any confusion I have to be at work at 2pm) and I sit down at my desk to prepare for the day and see how things are panning out, low and behold I have emails, missed calls and text messages pouring in.  Then I saw the bumper sticker on my POS laptop.  "Bad Planning on Your Part Does Not Necessarily Constitute an Automatic Emergency on My Part." Some times I feel I need to have that printed on business cards and share them with everyone who wants to talk with me.
