No, not the TV show, but my life.
Apparently, I am an apprentice of sorts now. With this ridiculous school board initiative to “destroy the school district in order to save it”, we have some need for video for consciousness raising and general awareness. I am almost done with one project (100 minutes or so of cinéma verité footage from a community meeting) and am now starting another. The first was just done here at home with my aging steam-powered FrankenMac (550 MHz of G4 power is just not enough to run iMovie well). The second will be composed with professionally-shot footage, a script, voice talent, and music composed for the piece.
Needless to say, I’ll be using other gear: the cameraman/producer/director (and benefactor, I suppose) does this stuff for a living and I’ll be able to leverage FinalCut Pro on newer equipment with some experienced folks on hand when — not if — I get in a jam.
Right now, I feel like my eyes are square . . . .
