The Last 24 Hours Have Been Insane!

1) Osama Bin Laden was killed--a little confusion over when the mission was authorized and executed; sources say a week ago, President's speech said that day.

2) Osama Bin Laden's rotting corpse was ditched into the ocean--a little sketchy and seemingly hasty, but still, good riddance.

3) Another film day is done.  Jordan Petersen's senior capstone film Weighted shot it's second day--interiors in a local house.  Some tricky shots and logistical challenges that came with working on multiple floors and inside/outside spots on the property without radios, but my crew (I was Best Boy grip) built two-story C-stand scaffolding to black out windows with duvatine, while concealing kino-flo light banks under the cloth to create a nighttime effect at 4:30 pm in the afternoon.  I love my grips, they rock!

4) ... Isn't that enough for you?  How much more am I supposed to accomplish in a day?  Sheesh!  You all expect too much from me.

... not that I couldn't have accomplished more and wowed you even further.

Here's a fun video for today.  You'll watch it more times than you will ever imagine--it is suprisingly addicting.

First, the review by the New Yorker--an excellent preface to the masterpiece.

Now, the video iteslf, "Shine on Me" by Chris Dane Owens:

Enjoy!




Peace!
