Late this summer, the family drove out to Lake Havasu, AZ to visit the in-laws. One evening as we were headed out, we were treated to a gloriou sunset. the sky turned colors and the car's shadow raced alongside us. I was entranced for the entire journey. I originally planned to make 3 seperate Lumiere-type videos out of the footage, but upon further review I decided to cut down to the best shots and create a more consice clip. Shot on FLiP video recorder in 3iVX format. Cut in Final Cut Pro in PhotoJPEG. Color timing and some light roto in AfterEffects. Encoded in Episode to FLV and H264. Music by Weekend Players. Into The Sun from Pursuit of Happiness.

One busy morning as I am rushing about the house deep in my morning ritual of putting on my cornflakes and pouring nice cold milk over a bowl of underwear, I heard a voice. It was talking, conversing, telling a story. I easily recognised the voice as that of my own child (now THAT'S parenting for ya) but it was different somehow. It wasn't whining, pleading for some sticky sugary food item he is not allowed. It wasn't crying because the house next door was painted the wrong color. It wasn't screaming, shrieking at the top of his lungs, just to see if it's true that Daddies eyeballs start to bleed from sound over 21,000hz frequency and 120db of amplitude. No, this sound was quite, peaceful, conversational. I stopped to listen for a moment, half expecting to hear a secret conversation with a new found imaginary friend, or worse. For him to be speaking in Aramai...
