Internet Issues Resolved??

    Today the Time Warner tech guy came over. I of course was at work but Harry was there. The tech guy did his thing but after he was finished he informed Harry that he couldn't find the problem. Regardless of him finding the problem whatever they did worked and our internet is free flowing.. Download speed has tripled and our upload speed, though slower then Nov., has improved to reasonable speed. So we're not sure if it's fixed or not but Harry is happy that it's working... so I guess this story is to be continued...

Working on Notes

    Last night I got notes from Kim and Felicia on two of my Guild BTS DVD Extra piece. So this morning before work I took an hour to work on some of them. One piece was on it's 8th pass so the note were very minor and took no time at all to do. The second piece was on it's 3rd pass so there were a few more notes but I did manage to get them all done before I needed to get to work. Tonight I plan on outputting the two completed pieces and start working on the third and final piece. Of course this is the plan but my plans normally don't work out... but will see.

TV Night

    Tonight I took a break from The Guild BTS to try and watch a bit of TV that is starting to fill up on DVR. I'm about three episodes behind on Heroes, Lost, Legend of the Seeker and a few episodes down on Dollhouse, Amazing Race and Extreme Home Makeover. So tonight I was determined to watch a few of those shows to clear some room on my DVR for this weeks TV that I will be missing. We managed to watch a few things but we still have a ton to watch.. one of these days I'll get caught up.

Internet Issues Continue

    I got an email from Time Warner saying something like the problem with the slow internet can't be fixed on their end that they have to send a technician to come out to the house to fix it.. so I called this morning and after several different people and about a half hour on the phone I made an appointment for a tech person to come out tomorrow from 10am to 12pm to fix the issue.. now I just have to wait.

More Editing

    Since my of my Saturday was busy with Harry's BBQ and then Streamy Awards I didn't get much done in Editing of The Guild BTS DVD extras. So I knew today I need to kick it up. I have finished one piece and was about halfway done with a second. I really wanted to finish the second and at least get halfway done with the third. But the second piece took a little longer then planned. I had gotten up at 8am and only took two breaks (lunch and dinner) and didn't get done until around 11pm. After that I was so tired and my hands and fingers were killing me. I had been in front of that computer for 15 hours. But I finally got a cut done and sent it off to Felicia and Kim for notes.

    I then started on my third piece. I spent the next two and a half hours pulling interview bites. It was now 1:30am and I was too tired to continue so I called it a night. All the prep work is done for the third piece and know all I have to do is cut it together and find cover shots. I'll have to work on it at night when I get off work but I hope to have it done by Thursday night.

    Then the weekend Felicia will be coming over to my place to do one final pass on the three piece, we will lock them and then I can uprez and do final outputs to send to Kim on Monday and this part of the Guild craziness will be over and I won't lie.. I am looking so forward to that.

TNG on Family Guy

    I stopped for a half hour to watch this very special Family Guy which reunited the original cast of Star Trek The Next Generation.

    Some of my friends were disappointed with this as they have be heavily promoting this with clips of the TNG stuff. But the TNG/Stewie storyline was a very minor B story. And the Meg/Brian Religion story was the A story. But both Harry and I laughed out load at all the TNG pieces and loved every minute of it. Of course it would have been great if the episode revolved around the TNG story but what they did give us was hilarious.

Steamy Awards

    Tonight was the first annual Streamy Awards (Oscars for Webseries) and The Guild and Legend of Neil are both up for awards. I had worked on the second season of both webseries. Felicia Day was kind enough to get me a ticket for the show tonight but with Harry's BBQ which we planned a month prior and my deadline for The Guild BTS DVD stuff I opted out and instead watched it live online.

    As I watched and read reports of folks who were there I kind of was bummed. If I wasn't so crazed I could have planned things out better and might have actually been able to attend.. but oh well I'm sure The Guild will be up for more awards next year and I'll be able to go. So instead I enjoyed watching it live and reporting on tweeter what was happening.

    The Guild came away with three wins. The first one and I think one of the better ones as it's encompasses the entire cast "Best Ensemble Cast" of a webseries. Next Felicia Day won for "Best Actress" in a Comedy webseries and finally the big upset, The Guild was "Best Comedy" webseries beating out the favorite and many many award winner Doctor Horribles Sing Along Blog. I was hooting and hollering at my computer screen I was so happy. The Guild may have lost out on some of the technical award to Dr. Horrible but it won some of the biggest and top awards. I'm very proud to call the cast and crew of The Guild, friends and know all their hard work paid off.

    PS... Felicia Day was up for Best Writer of a Comedy Webseries and the clip they used was the one where I am a Bum on the streets from Episode 3. I almost fell out of my chair to see me on the huge screen. How cool is that.

Harry's Birthday BBQ

    Today was Harry's Birthday BBQ. Ever since we moved into the house we have had a birthday BBQ as we have a great backyard for entertaining. We had a nice group of friends and family show up. We had some delicious hot dogs and hamburgers and all the sides. It was a very low key and nice party. I woke up earlier that morning in a panic because I forgot to bake his birthday cake the following night. But everything worked out great, cleaned up the house, which Harry did most of the night before, and prepped all the food and finished the cake. Everything was a success. Thanks to all those who joined us.

Internet Issues

    Lately Harry has been cursing at his Mac in German, never a good sign. He's been really upset at our internet connection. But my thing was.. well what are you going to do... Time Warner sucks but unless we go with a DSL service which is known to be slower then cable or pay way to much money for a T1 line we are stuck with the TW service. But tonight I noticed that things were running rather slow so I tested our internet speed and found out On March 28th 2009 we are getting 4.89 mb/s for download and a unheard of 0.06 mb/s for upload. And back on Nov 22 2008 I tested my internet speed and found I had 9.83 mb/s for download and .97 mb/s for upload. Download cut in half and the upload speed is 1/16th of it's speed. I knew something was wrong as we are still paying for the high speed service. So I emailed Time Warner and asked what the heck is going on.. so now I wait for a reply.

Editing Guild BTS and KOTG Microcast

    Today after a horrible day at work I came home and started to work on the edit notes that Felicia had emailed me earlier. I managed to get one of the pieces done and I think it's almost ready to do. But the other piece was going to take a little more time and it was already 11pm so I opted to hold off on editing that and moved on to editing our next Microcast of Knights of the Guild podcast. Stayed up to a little pass midnight.

Star Trek TNG on Family Guy

    I heard about this a few months ago but Fox has up a preview of the upcoming Family Guy that features the entire reunited cast of Star Trek The Next Generation. I have watched this clip over and over and I laugh out loud every time. I can't wait till this Sunday and watch the entire episode. Check out the preview here.. you won't be sorry.

Daily Booth

    There is this new and cool social network called Daily Booth. If you are aware of You Tube there have been quite a few videos of folks who take a single picture of themselves every day for a year and then play them back to back. This is the same kind of idea but it's crossed with facebook/twitter. You take a photo of yourself everyday and share it with folks who "follow" you. My friend Jenni has been doing for for about 10 days and it's funny seeing the different pictures she takes everyday. So I figured it might be fun and signed up. You can see my first picture here Geekyfanboy

8000 Visitors and More Editing

    Today our Knights of the Guild website http://knightsoftheguild.podbean.com has just hit it's 8000th visitor in a month and a half. I'm so happy that folks seem to enjoy the podcast that Jenni and I work so hard to produce.

    On another note I continued to edit The Guild BTS pieces for the upcoming DVD. It's alot of fun but very tiring as I only have time to do it after a long 12 hour work day and stay up till 1am every night. The good and bad thing is it will be over in a few weeks as all the pieces are due then. I'll keep you posted on news of The Guild second season DVD and when we might be seeing for sale.

Knights of the Guild on Twitter

    Tonight I opened a Twitter account for our Knights of the Guild podcast. Seems like I have alot of folks, almost 400 people and I'm sure the majority of them are following me because they are Guild fans, which is fantastic. So I figured it was time for KOTG to have it's own following. So if you Twitter you can follow our podcast at @KnightsofGuild or if you want to follow me on Twitter you can find me at @geekyfanboy

Happy Birthday Gerda


    Today is my Sister-in-Law Gerda's Birthday.

    Hope you have a wonderful day.

    Alles Gute Zum Geburtstag!!!!

More Editing of Guild BTS

    Seems like all I every do now is Blog about Guild stuff. But it is what is consuming my life now... with The Guild DVD and The Guild Podcast.. so here is more Guild stuff.

    After watching BSG finale I started working on the two BTS pieces. I had done notes on one and sent my 5th pass to Kim and Felicia for finale notes. Then I spent the rest of the day editing the second piece. It's a slow process as I string out the interview bites then have to sift through 60 hours of footage to find the right shot that could cover what the interviewee is talking about. Around 11pm I was spent.. I wasn't feeling well and I could barely keep my eyes open. I intended to stay up to 1am like I have the past week but just couldn't do it.

    Still have two weeks to get these pieces done.

Battlestar Galactica Finale

    Well before I started editing my Guild BTS I wanted to take two hours and watch the final episode of Battlestar Galactica. It aired on Friday night and was dying all weekend to see it.

    It was a two hour and 11 minute roller coaster ride. Just when you thought it was over, it sped up and twisted. I enjoyed the ending. It was kind of like LOTR ending. There were many endings. they had a lot of story lines to wrap up

    Some of the highlights:

    Roslyn saying thank you to the Dr... this is when I started to cry. The fact that he was about to break down did it for me.

    Loved seeing the old and new Cylons battling together.

    The Galacitca crashing into the Cylon ship was beautiful. Then when it did it's final jump and looked as though it was going to break apart.. so good.

    Adama saying goodbye to the Galactica.. very moving and a fitting end to that awesome ship.

    When they did the montage of the ships flying into the sun and you hear the original BSG music.. gave me chills.

    When Adama and Roslyn say goodbye to Lee and Starbuck.. that's when the water works began and they continued with the Adama and Rosyln scene in the shuttle, then she dies, then Adama puts his wedding ring her.. just thinking about scene brings tears to my eyes.

    So many good things. They still left a few unanswered questions that fans could interpret different ways.

    I was so happy to see that they showed up a few days after they reached "Earth". And the idea of present humans on Earth are decedents of Hera the Cylon/Human hybrid.. which means we all have a little Cylon in us.

    All in all it was a fantastic ending to one of the most dramatic and woderful series I have ever watched. I'm very sad to see it go, but enjoyed the wild ride it took me on.

Guild Stuff All Day

    Today I had several folks come over to my place so I could shoot some pick up questions for the BTS pieces. It was great seeing some of the Guild folks, it's been a few months since we all hung out.

    After the reshoots Jenni and I actually interviewed them for our Knights of the Guild podcast and had some very fun and entertaining conversations with them.

    We finished with all that stuff around 3pm. I then started working on editing one of my BTS pieces for The Guild DVD. I'm actually working on notes for one and starting my second one.

    I just wish I had more time in the day. I finally finished in the wee hours and went to bed. I hope to finish both pieces by tomorrow night.

Jared's Birthday Party

    Today my friend Jared had his birthday party at our house. Since we have such a great backyard, he ask if he could have his party here. Of course I said yes as I was actually going to offer our place. So he got here around 5 with his girlfriend and they began to set up. I got home from work early around 6 and the party began around 7. There were about 20 or so people and it was alot of fun. It was cold but we had an awesome fire using our brand new fire pit. We had beer pong but first you had to get your "prom" picture taken with Jared. It was really fun night and everyone seemed to have a great time. I got to see alot of my Guildie friends including Felicia Day and I met some really cool friends of Jared's. I'm super tired but it was a fun night and worth putting off watching the series finale if BSG, season finale of Clone Wars and a new episode of Dollhouse.

More Editing BTS and Microcast

    Tonight when I got off work I did the same thing, went home ate dinner and hung out with Harry for a few hours. Then got to editing. I had gotten notes from Felicia about the BTS and I agreed with her notes but in order to get what she wanted I will have to do some re-shooting this weekend. So I stopped that piece and started another piece. I worked on that for about three hours and needed a change of pace so around 12:30am I switched over to editing Knights of the Guild Microcast #2 which I finished around 1:30am, I sent it to Jenni for approval and then went to bed so I can do it all again tomorrow.

Compliments

    Tonight just before I left for home one of my new Junior Editors came to me and said "You are the happiest Post Super I have ever known. You are always smiling and in a good mood." That meant so much to me. I don't hear it that often, normally in post you get nothing but complaints, so it was nice to hear something positive. I try and run my post department like my boss Darla does. She is the nicest and sweetest boss you could ask for and I try to use her as an example. I'm glad it's paying off.

More Editing

    Once again after a long day at work I got home, spent a few hours with the hubby then started to edit one of my BTS pieces for The Guild. I think this will be my 4th note pass. This piece is really shaping up.

    It's so much fun to look back at all the great times we had last year shooting season two.

AM Editing

    When I got up this morning, I had gotten another set of notes for my second pass of the BTS piece. Kim mentioned that she would be showing the piece to Felicia so I decided to tackle the notes before I headed into work. I spent about two hours working on the notes getting the piece exactly as the requested. All the notes were valid and I think the piece is better because of them. I outputted and sent it to Kim. Next up are their final notes and that piece will be ready and I can move on to my second piece.

    Because I stayed home a bit longer to edit the piece I was late coming into work. But today being St. Patrick Day and folks and their doctor appointment not many people were here when I did come in . After a crazy few weeks today has been fairly quiet... but of course it's only 5pm and it seems that thing always happen when I'm about to leave work. I'll keep you posted.

Another Long Day

    Today was one of those days.. a very Manic Monday. My AE was coming in late so I got here a bit early and before I even got into work I was receiving phone call about computer issues. I get to work and the computer issue grew, I also had come avid issues, deck issues, tape issues and many more issues. It wasn't until 11:30am that I was finally about to turn on my computer and sit down to check my work emails.

    The day wasn't any better.. lot's of work, digitizing, putting out fires here and there. We also had two new employees start today and of course they are night people so I had to stick around and train one and get the other one settled in. I didn't get out of work until 8pm.

    Once home I ate dinner with Harry, watched some TV, and then began to work on some notes that I had received earlier in the day from Kim about the BTS piece I submitted yesterday. I finished with the notes around 11:30pm. Hung out for some quality time with Harry until round 12:30am and finally said good night and went to sleep.

Comic Con 2009

    Whoo hoo.. today I registered for San Diego Comic Con 2009. For the past six years I have gone to comic con. At first I would go as a guest of my friend Tom. But the past few years I have gone as my own professional. Which means I go for free because I work in the entertainment industry. I missed most of last years because of Family coming into town then and my wedding. So I am really looking forward to going this year. I've already booked my hotel room back in August and now I have my ticket.. I'm ready to geek out...

Editing The Guild BTS

    I spent all day today about 14 hours editing a 10 minute piece for The Guild behind the scenes. I can't say what it was about but at the end of the day I was happy with the out come. I made a quicktime and sent it to my producer Kim Evey. Now I wait for notes and start working on my other pieces. 1 down many more to go.

The Guild BTS

    Now that the schedule has been moved up on when my Guild BTS stuff is due I will be focusing all my free time for the next 15 days on finishing these pieces. Today I finished digitizing the rest of the tapes. I now have everything I shot in my system and I can began editing by BTS pieces. Talk about being stressed out, in the end I get these done in time to be put on The Guild season two DVD. Wish me luck...

The Ready Room #50

    Got up early even though it's the weekend. I have a lot of things to do today. First up was The Ready Room #50. Recorded with Jen and Rick at 10am, got done around 11am and started to edit the podcast. Being super busy I asked Rick to add music which normally takes me hours to do. I was waiting for several other rpg posts and a song that Rick was creating before I could send it to Rick for music. Well I just finished and have sent it to Rick to add music. Now for the next few weeks I think I'll be stepping down from The Ready Room as I have to focus everything on The Guild BTS.

KOTG Episode 2 is Done

    After making a few changes, I finished editing Knights of the Guild Episode 2. Whoo hooo.. I need to work on the show notes and I'll be posting the episode on Sunday 3/15 as scheduled. Actually I'm very excited to post it so it will go up at Saturday/Sunday Midnight. Hope everyone enjoys it.

Famous Last Words

    Guess I spoke to soon.. got another email today informing me that yes all the BTS stuff for the Guild DVD is due at the beginning of April. So the next three weekends I'll be doing nothing but editing and try and slip some editing before going to work and when I get home from work. Gonna get this stuff done and looking great.. can't let down my fellow Guildies.

    Wish me luck guys...

Happy Anniversary

    Six years ago today I got a response to my personal ad on Yahoo personals. It started off Dear Kelly and so began the courtship of Harry and Kenny. It still amazes me that I could find the person I was meant to be with the rest of my life 6000 miles away. It's been a wonderful six years. We've had our ups (getting married) and our downs (immigration issues) but the most important thing is that we have each other and the love we share will get us through anything.

    Love you Hubby

More Guildie Goodiness

    Okay I got an email today informing me that they don't need all the BTS stuff by the first of April, YAY!!!! they only need one piece from me and that shouldn't be a problem.. Still don't know when the rest will be due but at least it's not due at the beginning of April.

Tuesday, March 10, 2009

Stressed Out Guildie

    Today I got an email and call informing me that the Behind the Scenes specials that I am suppose to cut in the next three months are now due in the next three weeks. Talk about panicking, Luckily I have about 2/3 of the tapes digitized but I haven't had a single moment to look over the footage or start to organize it. I figured I had months to go and could take my time.. well that's not the case. So now the next three weekends I'll be working on The Guild BTS and I won't be able to get everything that I wanted done in time... which is a bummer but stuff I can't finish for the DVD I hope they can put it up on their website or you tube channel.

    Must breath.. in... out... in....

Knights of the Guild Episode Two

    After a long day at work, Harry and I tried to catch up on some TV as our recorder is beginning to fill up. We watched a few hours then both went to our computers to work, Harry is building his new website and I began editing KOTG podcast #2 which is due this Sunday. I edited from 10pm to 1:30am but manage to get a fairly tight rough cut done. Now I have to add sfx, music and do one final pass and it will be ready for upload on Sunday March 15th.

Grandma in Hospital

    Today I got a call from my Mom informing me that my grandmother fell and broke her hip. They planned to do surgery but found out she had in infection running through her body and didn't want to take any chances until they get the infection under control. I tried calling my mom back at lunch time but she couldn't talk as she was in the hospital and was not suppose to use a cell phone. Everything seemed okay but I didn't get the details. I'll have to call her tomorrow and see how everything is going.

Spreading myself to Thin

    Again today I was on set shooting BTS of Legend of Neil. This day wasn't as long, got to the stage around 9am and left around 6pm. Another fun day and also my last day of shooting, though they will continue to shoot I was only available to shoot on weekends. :( but it was fun and I have buddy Jenni shooting for me in my absence.

    But I have to admit I'm spreading myself a bit too thin, between work, 2 podcasts (The Ready Room and Knights of the Guild), Editing 2 BTS webseries (The Guild and Legend of Neil), building my new website, and playing a Starfleet Captain for a RPG that I help fun, leaves little time for anything else. What free time I have I spend with my hubby, family and if I'm lucky a few friends.

    I know this won't be forever.. but man this is tough. All I can do it take it one day at a time.

Legend of Neil BTS Shoot

    Today I shot more BTS for the Comedy Central/Webseries The Legend of Neil. Had to be up at 5am so I could leave my house by 5:30am and be on stage at 6am, well the location wasn't the easiest thing to find as google maps forgot to mention a few streets to turn on. But with a 15 minute detour I was able to locate the stage and begin my filming. I can't really say much about the characters or story, got some really good BTS and I'm looking forward to cutting some cool BTS together. Only downside was it was a long day 6am to 8pm. And I get to do it all again tomorrow.

Work Craziness Continues

    Man I was so happy the weekend was coming, the past week of work was horrible. Not that I get to rest this weekend. Both Saturday and Sunday I am shooting BTS for Legend of Neil. Though it will be fun I wish I had some time off after this tough week.. oh well life moves on.

KOTG on Itunes

    It was such a horrible day at work but right before I left I was checking out itunes and looked at there top 100 TV and Movie Audio podcasts and guess what I found.. Knights of the Guild was number 88… How cool was that.. talk about lifting my spirits.. it's just what I needed.

What a Day!!!!

    Wow.. I haven't had this bad of a day in a long while. First we tell us that we can't digitize tapes that run over the 24 hour mark.. this is of course after we have already digitized almost 5000 tapes. I wish they would have told me when I started this job months ago. It took me and my AE four hours to figure out how to find out which tapes were wrong. Luckily it was only 70 tapes out of the 5000 that will need to be re-done, but that is another 70 hours of digitizing that could have been prevented if they would have mentioned this rule when I first started.

    This whole tape issue didn't help with the fact that we are up against the wall to get a four hundred(hours) of tapes digitized in a few weeks. Between decks breaking down, the crappy job the camera guys did on shooting the stuff (timecode breaks ever few seconds that cause the machine to kick the tape out) it takes two hours to digitize an hour tape.

    Besides that we have old Avid system that breakdown at least once a day so I have editors and producers complaining everyday about something.

    It was just a frustrating day....

Recording KOTG #2

    Tonight Jenni and I got together to record episode 2 of Knights of the Guild podcast. Both of us are super busy and this seemed like it would be the only time we could do it and since it need to be posted by the 15th we went ahead and recorded.

    I had to scramble and find a fan to interview and luckily I got my buddy Bel-Rand from The Guild chat forums. He's from Sweden and the time we picked to do the recording/interview was 9pm our time but 5am his time. But he really wanted to do it so he stayed up all night. Thanks Bel-Rand.

    The interview was fantastic and the rest of the podcast just flew by. This is only the third time Jenni and I have recorded but it's like we have been doing this forever. I did a rough cut of the podcast after we recorded it and it sounded great. I can't wait to add the bumpers and interviews and polish it off. It will be posted on March 15th.

Forgot to Vote

    I was so busy today getting stuff done around the house, hanging out with Harry and getting computer stuff done I totally forgot about voting. I was listening to the news at 10pm and it hit me.. I turned to Harry and said.. "Oh crap I totally forgot to vote today". Oh well.. whatcha going do.

Taking a Day Off

    Since I put in a 16 hour day yesterday I decided not to go into work today (it's good to be the boss). Instead I stayed home and hung out with Harry, worked on my new website, edited a podcast and watched some TV. Of course I got four or five calls from work but they were things I could over the phone. So all in all it was a very nice day.. wish I had more of those. Back to the grind tomorrow..

Long Work Day

    Today I came into work around 9am and left work around 1am, It was a super long 16 hour day of digitizing. One of our boats (I'm working on Deadliest Catch) wasn't able to send in tapes like the others and all of a sudden then sent up 200+ tapes that had to be digitized in three days. So I stayed for a double shift to get as much of it in the system as I could. I'm glad I stayed because I got a lot done and we are a bit closer to getting all those tapes into our system.

BTS for Legend of Neil

    Today was the first shoot day on season two of Legend of Neil. Sandeep (who plays Zaboo on The Guild) is producing this comedy for comedy central. Legend of Neil is of course a spoof on Legend of Zelda, a very popular video game. You can check out season one and find out more info here about Legend of Neil http://www.effinfunny.com/legend-of-neil

    Since I did the BTS stuff for The Guild Sandeep had asked if I would do the same for LON season 2. And of course I said okay. Well come to find out they are shooting two weeks straight and of course I have a daily job. So I will only be shooting stuff on weekends for the next two weekends. I did pass on my camera to Jenni and hope she or another PA can get some good footage for me to use in my BTS stuff.

    Today was our first day and we were filming in Angeles National Forest. It's a beautiful location but man there was alot of climbing up and down hills. I'm an old man and not use to all that walking. By the end of the day my feet were dying. But it was a fun shoot, lots of cool stuff happened. I took about 3 1/2 hours of video and about 300 pictures. I'm bummed that I won't be with them this coming week and look forward to joining them again next Saturday.
