Blizzcon

    Just got word that the Producers worked their magic and got permission for me to film The Guild Panel at this years Blizzcon. So it looks like I will be going down to Anaheim Saturday Oct. 11th. While I'm down there filming the panel I'll be able to interview fans of the show as well. Should make for some good BTS material for the DVD. Never been to Blizzcon.. should be fun.

The Guild Shoot (Codex & Zaboo)

    Today was another Guild shoot. Today's shoot was at one of The Guild's producer's house in Van Nuys. This was good news as I didn't have to get up so early and she lived only 15 minutes from me. I got there around 9am and set up my stuff. Today was going to be easier as we were working in just one room with two people as opposed to five rooms with many actors like yesterday. Of course these are the main two characters so there was more stuff to shoot but today shouldn't be as long as yesterday.

    Today I got to meet Sandeep who plays Zaboo and man is a funny guy. Like Jeff (Vork) from last night it was so hard to not laugh while shooting, both actors are improv actors. Felicia and Sandeep have great chemistry and timing. They would ad lib stuff and I would just crack up.. luckily I have a lot of these banter between takes on film and hope to cut something together. There were alot of camera movement and set changes but everything went fairly smooth. I got out of there around 9pm and it was another fun filled shoot day.

    The crew and people associated with this show are fantastic. Alot of them are volunteers or getting paid very little. They do it because they love The Guild and I think its makes the long hours not so horrible.

    Next weekend more shooting... can't wait...

The Guild Shoot (Tinkerballa,Clara,Vork,Bladzz)

    This weekend was one of many weekends I was volunteering to help out one of my favorite web series The Guild. Today's shoot was going to happen at the creator, writer, producer and star of The Guild, Felicia Day's house. She lives in a very cool house in Los Angeles area. When I got there at 7:30am I got my "good morning" hug from Felicia (she's a sweetheart), while the crew had begun to set up, I found a area to set up my battery chargers and tapes and then got to work filming the set up. They were setting up Tinkerballa's very pink room. I got to meet more of the crew, which was great since I was going to be doing interviews with them in the weeks to come. I got to me Amy who plays Tikerballa's as she was the first to shoot. It's always fun to see how things are put together. I'm a huge fan of The Guild and I know how TV works but it's still fun to watch them create something that you love right in front of you.

    After Tinkerballa's (Amy) shoot it was time to shoot Clara's part. I met Robin who plays Clara and then they brought her three kids and a special new character (which I can't say who..) and we did some of Clara's lines. Next was the kids part and these are the same three kids from season one and they have grown up quite a bit, especially the powerstrip eating baby. So we spent hours and hours getting the kids stuff done. By this time we were behind schedule and Vince (Bladzz) showed up and Jeff (Vork) showed up for their parts.

    After the kids and Clara's stuff we broke for lunch. At this time it was 3pm. We started to shoot just Clara's lines with no family. That took a few hours. After that we started to shoot Vork (Jeff's) lines. Jeff is way to funny and it was so hard to stop myself from laughing. After his stuff it was time to shoot Bladzz which went fairly quick. By the time we were done it about 10pm. It was a long but very fun and productive shoot day. I took about 3 hours of video and 250 stills. Now I have to get some sleep and get up early again for tomorrow's shoot.

Birthday Dinner

    Tonight my good friend Christopher took me out to Chevy's for a be-lated Birthday dinner. It was great catching up as Christopher and I haven't seen each other since he was my best man at my wedding at the beginning of August. It was a nice dinner and conversation. Just wish we both had more free time to do it more often.

It Just Hit Me

    Today I said goodbye to about half of my co-workers. We are winding down at my current job and finishing our last two episodes with a few lucky folks and it just hit me that I will be out of a job in a few weeks so I started to update my resume so I can start sending it out again. That is one thing I hate about freelancing..well there are many but the worse one is looking for a new job every few months. This one lasted about seven months which is pretty long but once again I have to start bugging friends for any leads. If anyone is looking for a Post Production Supervisor please let me know... thanks

TV is Back

    So excited to have TV back.. so far we've watched the premieres of Heroes (Fantastic), The Big Bang Theory (Laughed so hard) , How I Met Your Mother (Very funny), Sarah Conner Chronicles (Can't wait to see more), Fringe (Cool new show) , Survivor Gabon (Great cast of characters) and a few others.. but there are still some big ones that I am looking forward too like Pushing Daises, Kyle XY, Amazing Race and the return of Battlestar Galactica.

    I have cut back on TV.. alot. I use to watch about 30 hours of TV every week and for the life of me can't figure out how that worked with a 60 hour work week and 40 hour school schedule.. but somehow I made it work. As I have gotten older and time seems to have gotten shorter I pick and choose what I really want and stuff that can wait till DVD. I think I'm currently down to about 10 hours a weeks of must see TV. This TV season looks to be just as good as last season... bring on the new shows.

Birthday Wishes

    I got a ton of Birthday Wishes from my Online friends... it was fantastic. My friends over at the Treks in Sci Fi forum even made me some Birthday videos and posted them on youtube. There was alot of geeky love gong around. I have a bunch of great online friends that I consider just friends even though we have never met person. Folks like Rico, Jen, Rick, Meds, Tim, Bryan, Rob, Morelius just to name a few. Thank you all for making this crazy work day a wonderful Birthday.... Love to you all.

Happy Birthday To Me

    Today is my 38th Birthday. This was going to be a pretty low-key day since we celebrated on Saturday. Last night I got a call from my story producer informing me that my runner got his car impounded. And we had several very important runs that had to be done early in the morning. Since it was 11 at night there wasn't much I could do so I decided that I would come into work early tomorrow and do them myself. Only problem was that Tuesdays and Thursday are the days Harry takes the jeep so he can go to the park. So now we had to postpone that so I could get up early and take the Jeep to work and do the runs.

    I got to work at 8:15 and my boss wasn't here at he said he would be. I couldn't deliver the DVD's unless I had a drive on and he was the only one that could call and get me one. Come to find out that he got out of work an hour before I got there at 7am and went home to freshen up. So I called him and left a message and he finally got back to me around 9:25am.. so I got to work early for nothing and waited an hour in my office for him to return my call and let me know that I had a drive on. He finally called and I was able to deliver the DVD's to NBC, and of course when I get there.. the person I was delivering them too wasn't in the office yet.

    So that is how my Birthday started. After that everything was pretty good.. my co-workers Erin, Armando and Maggie took me to Chevy's for a Birthday lunch. And of course they surprised me when the waitress came over and put a sombrero on my head and they all sang happy birthday. Then a few hours later Darla (my boss) came over with a cake and cup cakes and the entire post crew sang happy birthday and we all ate cake.

    I was hoping to go home a little early as I had gotten here early but around 5:30 Jarrod my boss calls and tells me that he needs a run to Paramount/Compton area at 6:00pm. Maggie was doing runs today for me but there was no way I was going to let her drive to Paramount/Compton after dark but Jarrod insisted that this DVD had to be delivered. I was not happy and of course the person that I am said I would take it. This sucked because I did wan to go home early and Harry planned to take me out to dinner for my birthday. Well I called this person that we were suppose to take this DVD too to make sure she would be there. She informs me that there is already plans set for her to get it tomorrow morning and didn't need it tonight. So I got so spend the last 30 minutes stressing trying to figure out how to get this DVD to this person tonight.

    Needless to say I was done and headed home. Once home Harry and I went to one of our favorite but rarely visited restaurants Outback Steak House and had a very nice birthday dinner.

Guild Shoot

    Today I got to volunteer on a wonderful web series called The Guild I was producing, shooting and will be editing Behind the Scenes stuff for there second season DVD. I'm a huge fan of Felicia Day, the star, producer and writer of the Guild so it was a thrill to met her and she is as sweet a person as you can ask for. The entire production team was fantastic. We worked from 7:30am to 3:30pm and the time just fly by. I took about 3 1/2 hours of video and roughly 150 still photos. I can't say much about the story but it was an awesome shoot and I look forward to the next couple of weekend shoots.

    If you haven't watched season one of this fantastic series check it out here. It's only 10 episodes running 3 to 6 minutes each... it's really funny.

Birthday BBQ Bonanza

    Today I celebrated my 38th birthday with family and friends. We had a very nice BBQ in the backyard. About 20 folks showed and we have some great tasting BBQ even though I burned the dogs a bit.. it was all good. The highlight was my drinking beer.. for those who don't know I don't drink.. or I don't drink very often.. maybe a beer or two once a year. My brother said he would stay longer if I drank with him so I decided to have a few beers. This was the first time my brother and I (pictures above) drank together and he got a kick out of it. After one beer I was dizzy, two beers I was feeling pretty good, then on the third beer Jessica encouraged me to chug it which I did and felt sick afterwards.. the nausea passed I went for my fourth beer.. and that when my laughing attacked happened. For those who have experience it I'm sure you remember it well.. for those who haven't... maybe one day you will.

    It was a fun time had by all.

First Birthday Gift

    Today when I got home there was a package waiting for me from my friend Rick from Aberdeen Washington. Of course my birthday was a few days away and I got online and asked him if he wanted me to wait to open it. He said no way open right away so I did. There were two gifts inside, one was a very cool Marvel 2009 Calendar and the second more personal one was a three section picture frame with some beautiful shots that Rick had taken. He recently got a new camera and has taken some very incredible beautiful shots.. so he framed three that he thought I would like. It's a great gift and I want to Thank Rick and Amy for giving me my first birthday gift this year.

The Guild Shoot

    Whoo hooo.. got my call sheet for The Guild shoot on Sunday.. call time is 7:30am. That's kind of early.. but I'm still excited to be part of the team.

Twitter

    So I finally joined Twitter, if you don't know what it is it's a free social networking and micro-blogging service that allows its users to send and read other users' updates (otherwise known as tweets), which are text-based posts of up to 140 characters in length. Updates are displayed on the user's profile page and delivered to other users who have signed up to receive them. The sender can restrict delivery to those in his or her circle of friends. Users can receive updates via the Twitter website, instant messaging, SMS, RSS, email or through an application such as Twitterrific or Facebook.

    It's a pretty cool way to keep up to date with my life.. if you belong to Twitter look me up. I can be found under Geekyfanb

Getting Old Sucks

    Today I had a doctor’s visit. I went back in June and they did some blood work. So today I got the results. Blood pressure is a bit high 89 over 139, but the bad news was my Cholesterol was too high 241, that's the most it's ever been. So I'm now taking medicine to control it as well as having to change my diet. I go back in three weeks to make sure the new meds aren't affecting my liver. There were a few other items that needed addressing but over all everything seems to be working fine. Seems like the older I get the more issues I have.... oh well it could be worse.

Fringe

    Tonight Harry and I were able to catch a speical repeat of the premiere of JJ Abrams (Lost) new TV series Fringe. It's kind of like the X-Files but not. Here's a short synopsis, When an unlikely trio uncovers a deadly mystery that involves a series of unbelievable events, they discover it may be part of a larger, more disturbing pattern that blurs the line between science fiction and technology.

    Both Harry and I enjoyed it enough to want to watch the second episode. Check it out if you can.

Sarah Connor Chronicles

    Today was the first episode of the second season of Terminator The Sarah Connor Chronicles premiered tonight and man was it tense. Made me realize how much I missed this series and I'm so happy it's back. And this episode had an OMG moment at the end that's going to make this season AWESOME.
