The Year of Action

What am I capable of?

So, even though the title of this entry is “Year of Action”, It’s taken me a full month to write this entry. So instead of resolutions, I’ve decided on goals. I’m going to film at the very least, two short stories by the end of the year; one comedic and one scifi. I’ve already started on the scifi story, writing a script and doing visual effects tests. I discovered Visionlab for my visual effects, and I was surprised by the results that I was able to achieve.


I also picked up a copy of Final Cut Express, which is used for general video editing and composition, so I’m pretty set there. Now, I next had to find a program to write scripts in. This brings me to my next discovery. When you’re on a Mac and writing a script, you use Final Draft, which is pretty expensive for my budget. Luckily, there’s Celtx, which is a full script writing suite, complete with storyboarding, production notes and more. The way I see it, we’re in 2010. Years ago, people made much more with much less. This new venture is keeping me busy, and I get to learn new things. Lets see where it goes.
