SOOTS

Taped a show for the SOOTS (Sustaining Roots Music) Project from Raleigh Charter High School a few months back. Now finally have a bit of time to cut it together. Actually, my dad, who helped with the taping of the show and some off-the-cuff interviews with faculty and students at RCHS, is going to be editing it.

Today I have to fix some problems Final Cut is having with my clips. It seems to have randomnly re-assigned footage within my project, and now I'm going to just redigitize the entire bunch of tapes to avoid any confusion. My first clue things were wrong was that my dad played 2 different clips with different timecodes that had the same content...



And from the looks of the footage, I'll need to do some color-correcting to help things along. It was seriously dim in that church. Maybe I can get involved earlier when they do another show and get some lighting donated from some a AV company. Ideas, anyone?

The Whistlestop

Back at work, after taking some days off, then some half-days, since the birth of my son, Vaughn. How bout that? Now I have two kids!



Also working on an episode of Jon & Kate Plus 8. Funny to watch kids all day on your computer screen, then come home to your own.

And of course, also editing some of the CD release party Dallas & I taped a few weeks back for the Whistlestop. Good show, good energy, and now I have to do it some justice and give these guys some nice clips for their website, so they can get booked more. Really love this stuff.
