raloria:*: Spent a few hours outside Saturday night videotaping and photographing the neighborhood 4th of July fireworks. Somehow it didn't seem to be as good a show as last year. Maybe the bad economy finally got to everyone and forced them to cut back. I noticed there weren't as many fireworks stands around the area selling them this year. Anyway, the video is mighty skimpy on the fireworks this time, but I'll transfer it to the laptop anyway and see if there's something that can be made from it. I experimented with my new DSLR camera, too - with mixed results. I'll be posting some of the better ones soon.
:*: I also recorded the Macy's Fireworks Spectacular from NYC & Seattle's own Fireworks show from Lake Union off the TV. The NY one was huge, with largely traditional marches and Americana-type music provided by a live orchestra. The Seattle show was recorded music that was eclectic to say the least. Everything from Beethoven to Prince and Disney film music. We do things differently out here. :D The fireworks were very cool...for both shows, yet individually unique.
:*: One of the stupidest things I saw the other night? A couple and their young boy walked past me as I was videotapping the fireworks. He was around 8, maybe 10. He was also lighting off small fireworks as they walked. I didn't think much of it until they passed me and the kid threw one of the fireworks where it almost went off under a neighbor's car! Yikes! The parents didn't say anything, btw. Gah! People are so irresponsible. No wonder kids get their hands blown off every year by these things! /rant
:*: Okay, on to the big update...I've reconciled with my flister who defriened me last week. I PM-ed her and she was all upset over not being around on LJ much anymore and not commenting enough. I told her that doesn't bother me at all and I'm not going to condemn people on my flist for not commenting often when I can't even do that myself. Long story short...we're friends again and all is well. Now I feel kinda silly making such an epic deal over the whole thing. Drama queen? Much? *sigh* On the other hand, I was very upset by her cutting me, so I was being true to my feelings at that time. You gotta take me as I am, folks. :)
:*: The second film I worked on last summer (as Script Supervisor) is in post-production now. The director has even joined Facebook to help promote the movie. The website for the film hit the web yesterday and I'll post the link for you all soon. From the Press Kit on the site, it looks like there's some interest and it might get distribution! Awesome! More details to come! :D
