Hollywood here I am!

It’s been a little while since the last post. I was a bit busy with the drive back out to Los Angeles from Ohio and the whole moving in thing.  But now I’m settled in and back to work.

Telecine 4 at FotoKem

Currently, I’m re-editing a short film I worked on 14 years ago.  The producer/director decided he wanted to re-insert some previously cut scenes and otherwise try to extend it out to fit an hour long TV slot.  It’s been interesting going back to that footage… it was a different time and a different place!

The Avid we used was a Quadra 900 based Avid… Two Apple processor generations ago… not Intel… not PowerPC… but the Motorola 68040!  Steve Jobs was still at NeXT and I was a 20-something.  ;-)

I’m in the process of doing telecine at FotoKem in Burbank of the original footage.  I’ll begin editing as soon as that’s done.

Sunset from the Hollywood apartment balcony

Found a nice apartment in Hollywood, just down the street from AFI (American Film Institute). The balcony looks up towards the Hollywood sign and Griffith Observatory.

It’s good to be back!!
