Today launches the site and music video for the Roy Solorio miniseries Moon and Back Chronicles, the story of a car turning half a million miles. Check it out!
Additionally, my New York City and 4th of July 2008 movies are now online for free viewing!
There are not one, not two, not even three, but FOUR new movies now online! After mad crazy amounts of editing on the new 8 Core tower, they are all online for you to consume. I even encoded HD versions! All for the price of none!
1. RED HQ [Red requested this movie be removed] – I got to go "somewhere near LA" and check out the inside of Red’s HQ, where the RED ONE camera was born. They showed us a couple of 4K movies, and offered hands on training with the camera and post software. It was insanely cool. In addition to that, I also went to Mexico, which has some interesting shots.
2. Cereal Bowl – I was invited to Tracy to shoot another one of Kelly’s crazy youth events, an all cereal all crazy gathering of sugar high proportions.
3. Macworld 2008 – My Macworld movie is now online, featuring the Macbook Air and the Modbook tablet notebook.
4. Deacon Dave’s 2007 – I shot some cool footage at Deacon Dave’s in Livermore over the Christmas holidays, which has now finally made its way online.
The new Livermore Performing Arts Theater opened its doors for the first time today for a Open House. Most doors were unlocked, and my friend and I found our way to the stage and sound booth. Yes, that’s a two story sound booth. Check it all out in the video below:

Recently, I just had a checkup at the eye doctor. They have this new machine that takes a high resolution picture of the inside of your eye. You can see mine in the pictures below! |

You can now get the book I helped work on! For a few months, I was the Technical Editor on “Adobe Flash CS3 Professional On Demand“. I helped make sure the book was accurate with the new version of Adobe’s Flash software.
A few days ago, I got to shoot at the local TMUG meeting at Amador High School. The Steve Wozniak centric event was over 2 hours, and included a Q&A session with the Apple Co Founder. Take a look at video of his talk right here.
My Renderfarm is up and Running! Setting up a Render Farm allows for more than one computer to work on the same project or file at the same time, cutting down on the time it takes to complete the render. Check out the two screenshots of the renderfarm below. This was all made possible with Final Cut Studio 2!
Today, James Mickle and I got an exclusive tour behind the scenes of the Livermore Digital Theater. The system they have running is *very* impressive. The process for Digital movies is pretty interesting. The movie can be shipped in on a hard drive, or, they download the movie off a secure server into their internal server. (2 hours average time) The movie then goes into a mini timeline application, where they add the DLP Logo, the Christie Logo, and the current order of Trailers. This is infinitely customizable, and infinitely cool. After the order of things are in place, they can add markers in the timeline for when the lights should fade down and up. (Currently after the trailers finish and when the movie credits roll). After that, the movie is transferred via USB2 drive to one of the Projector stations, ready to be played. (They want firewire 800 drives… hopefully soon). Each DLP Projector System has 3 hard drive sets. In case a drive crashes, the movie will continue playing. The show must go on!
Today when Tony and I were going to lunch, we noticed that our local starbucks had gotten an upgrade of sorts. Someone had driven a car through the front of the store!
