JERRY KILLS SOMETHING IN HIS SLEEP

2014 Oscars

Sunday Morning, I sit here with puppies and coffee. It's the day all of the world it seems drops what they are doing so that they can see actors cry and blow smoke up each others asses. It's the Oscars. In an hour, I will be heading off to my edit suite to help promote the importance of the Hollywood Circus Clowns. Red carpets, freshly bleached teeth, and a finely tuned fake laughs, is pretty much the norm. I will be editing down sound bites from the red carpet and showing off the beautiful threads of those in attendance. I guess it's a version of instant replay.

11:00am: Getting my Haircut

Here is what Kimberly my stylist came up with:  (Shirt by Hurley)

1:42pm: Eat Greek Food. Just given the debrief. I will be cutting together Ellen  moments, interviews on the red carpet, and winner reactions. 

2:06pm: Red Carpet Feed is coming in from LA. Producer is picking music

2:43pm: No red carpet moments still. Celebs are still drinking heavily. My Final Cut Sequences are ready.

3:18pm Control Room 1. Stress level at Defcon 1. All systems running. A producer is missing, might be puking in the bathroom. 

3:23pm

OUR FIRST INTERVIEW!! Go Wolfgang. 300 chefs making food under his guidance 

3:42: The dudes carrying the ballots just showed up. They have a metric ton of security

3:45pm  Rehersal 2 happening in studio 1.They have no makeup and cuss more when the mess up.

4:14pm: I just burped a ridiculous gaseous greek burp in my edit room.

4:27pm The executive producer is pacing the halls looking for more stuff to freak me out with.

4:40pm Just edited Dana Brunetti talking about the focus puller who puked on Tom Hanks during the filming of Captain Phillips.

4:43pm Producer doesn't want to use the Brunetti interview after I finished cutting it.

The crowd on the red carpet is getting way loud. No wonder stars do drugs

653pm: Cutting and cutting and cutting

9:07pm: Finished the last edit after the producer stressed a bit. We made the deadline but the edit never made it to Air because of mistakes by others. Oh well. A day of editing for my own entertainment. At least I liked it.

11:00pm Home in bed. The Mistake Makers wanted to make more edits at 10pm. I politely cried no. I hope they are done by 12am.

Fun times in the live world. Signing out.

MTB The Yahoo.

2 weeks left on the Yahoo gig! It's always  best to  take advantage of the time  you have to explore new areas. Mountain Bikes are awesome for that. Watch out for hunters though.

Thanksgiving Time Again.

Here is a little ditty I wrote a while ago. There is something grand about playing music on the porch.

Here is the Downhill final from Sunday...

2013 SEA OTTER

Specialized Video went to the Sea Otter Classic again. This time we had 3 Cameramen,  at least 5 different cameras, a hackintosh (built by Vogel), shade, 17 atheletes, and a new race trailer.


 This is Vogel hanging out in the Edit Suite on the last day of 6 days of continuous shooting.  We had plenty of beer and cookies.

The Hackintosh and a TS3 Cine high speed camera.

Clayton and Vogel looking at Pictures from the Dual Slalom race.

I have a drive filled with 300 TB of media from this last week of shooting. I will have a lot of cuts
put together this coming week. These are 2 that I finished at the event:

Check out this blog. John the Specialized Website Ninja created it. There seems to be an abundance of uses for the milk crate.  Here you will see that John used to have a lot of time on his hands...

Yesterday

This has become the extent to which I surf. Strange how much time we spend learning to do something and then stop doing it. The circuits can be rewired and the energy begins to flow elsewhere. Some say it's growing up. But those people are putting value on what the corporate militia has bred into all of us.

It's storm surf but at least the photographer is there to document it.
It's more than I did today.

Feed Zone

Here is the new cafeteria at Specialized. Free morning oatmeal, bottomless cokes and a nice comon area to eat in. Food is quality.

Coffee

Chilling in the bike lounge this morning. This is an awesome cup o coffee.

Organic too. Does it really make a difference. Maybe not in the eyes of the government/big Agro biz but common sense tells me otherwise.

This is actually the first video I cut as a staff member at Specialized. It was also the first video I ever cut in Adobe Premier 6.

Here is another video from the Specialized Film Department. We spent about a week putting this thing together. This does not include all the interviews, testing on the cobbles or trips to the coffee machine. In other words it was a week of editing.
