Semanal08 - W2 : The End of Christmas

All good things come to an end. Last weekend we pulled all the lights down, threw out the dried tree, packed away the decorations, and brought the house back to it's normal, everyday state. In the drab grey of this particular wet Sunday, it looked pretty dismal compared to the previous jolly, colorful state. Shot on FLiP video recorder in 3iVX format. Cut in Final Cut Pro in PhotoJPEG.

I Miss My Mummy

Sometimes, a little boy just needs his mummy. Even though that little boy is 43 years old, mum still knows best, and every once in a while it's nice to go around to mum's house and soak the benefit of her worldly knowledge, advice and reassurance. Where is this sentimentality coming from tonight? This evening I had the pleasure of presenting a few samples of my work at the Orange County Multimedia Association Digital Video SIG. I was quite happy to be asked to do this, as I had been attending these meetings for many years and had wanted to present for a long time.
