Transition

Alright, so I haven't been updating much. I have been hard at work on a number of projects, the largest which will be replacing this blog fairly soon. Also, I've been in front of a camera, and hammering out gameplay footage for a series of videos. I think I've said all of this in previous posts, but I wanted to remind my five readers that it is happening. I wrote scripts for two videos last night, and the camera and tripod are on the table in front of me as I type. I intend to shoot those two and at least one more today. I want to get in two more, but it's going to be hard.

I need to shave...can't look scraggly to the public. I've already got enough going against me in these videos.

I need to track down a lapel microphone, and eventually replace my camera. The fact that firewire is trying to go extinct is hurting my project quite a bit. I dropped into Best Buy last week, and well...forty dollars is a bit too much. Not to mention, they only have one cable in the entire store. I'll get this stuff taken care of over the next few weeks, but the first couple of videos are going to have to have cheap production values. I will fix that! I promise! The fact that is, I have the gear to get good sound, at the very least, but it's not working so well right now. For some reason, ProTools and my shotgun mic don't work very well together. Also, the microphone jack on my camera acts murky when I plug a microphone into it.

I need for this whole thing to work out. The site as well. It's going to be a tough bit of road, but there are some things going on in the background that I hope will help. N4G is going to be key in getting a viewer base built up. The thing that kills my efforts is that I'm not funny. I'm not trying to be funny, either. That's what usually sells, and I'm not going to make that effort either.

Anyway...let's see if it works.
