I keep my skills sharp and learn new skills using the online training at Lynda.com.
This morning I completed a great tutorial by Chris Meyer on using FCP to give video a filmic glow. Awesome stuff.

Podcast Update on Warriors of The Light

Updating via a podcast on Warriors of the Light.  A new book soon to be published about an advanced alien race that is training people as soldiers and much, much more.

Review of UFO & Paranormal Stuff_UFOs Over NY, NY

Taking a micro podcast look at the recent UFOs seen over New York City.

Update on Warriors of The Light

As reported in an earlier posting I have optioned a soon to be published book, Warriors of the Light, by Richard L. Rogers.  We have been working together in various ways since we met in a chat room at

Richard L. Rogers

Whitley Strieber's Web site, Unknowncountry.com.   Richard has done a wonderful job of putting a lot of information together and this book is years over due for everyone who has an experience that can not be explained.

Under 1 Madhouse Productions we plan to work together to market the book, develop the documentary and give people all over the world the chance to know that they are not alone in these types of alien encounters.

We are hoping that Richard's contact and medical doctor will come forward and put some of his experience into the book.  He is a doctor with experience in treating people who need help in dealing with the alien experience.  It has not been easy getting people to come forward and go on record.  There are some people who have lost everything by coming forward.

Check back here for continued updates and visit us on Facebook  and my first interview on this topic is available for download on iTunes under Dawn of Shades October 19th, 2010, in the Podcast section of the iTunes store or can be found at this direct link: UFO Paranormal Radio Network.

This Tom Collins Looks Gooood. ;-)

Tom Collins, a cherry for garnish

Well, its not just all work and no play.  I was getting out the frozen Salmon Burgers for dinner when I spotted the almost full bottle of Tanqueray London Dry Gin in the bottom of the freezer.

Um. A fast search on the good ol Google and I found a drink recipe.  The boy friend is on his way to the store for the full list of supplies as I type. 

Tom Collins Ingredients:

• 1.25 oz. Tanqueray London Dry Gin
• 1 oz. lemon or line juice
• 1 teaspoon sweet and sour mix
• 1 splash club soda
• 1 slice orange

Preparation:

In a shaker half filled with ice cubes, add Tanqueray London Dry, lemon or lime juice, and sweet and sour mix.

Shake well.

Strain into collins glass filled with ice.

Add club soda and stir well.

Garnish with maraschino cherry and orange slice.  

I'm more excited about making the Tom Collins than the Salmon Burgers.  

I'm wondering how the drink got its name and I found this Wikipedia Article.

Getting on the PSA Production Program

              Production Day for Toy Loan PSA

On the day of production I had several women come up to me to inquire about Women In Film Los Angeles, the PSA Production Program, and the Digital PSA Production Program.  For anyone who is interested in the Women In Film Los Angeles PSA Production Program, check out their Web site and fill out the membership application.  Then go to one of the PSA Production Program meetings.  For more program options such as being a Shadow Director or a Shadow Producer join up with the joint program between WIF LA and Santa Monica TV, the Digital PSA Program. 

Update on Toy Loan PSA

The set of Toy Loan PSA

Last Saturday I spent 9 hours driving through crazy LA traffic, and walking through Malls in search for a throw rug with print for a child's playroom. And it had to be at least 6 X 8.

The devil is in the details and we all want our PSA for Toy Loan to be excellent on every level. While I was shopping the director, producer, and the set designer were hard at work making a rec room into a magical play room.

The next day, Sunday, we had a 6AM call time, and on set about 25 kids, their parents, two adult actors, 12 or so crew, lights, camera, sound, and action. We had a budget of $100.00, as if the process of development and production is not challenging enough.  We had 4 crew plus camera and some other equipment from the one sponsor, Santa Monica TV. 

On Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, following the Sunday production, I awoke each day feeling like I had been lifting heavy weights the day before. By Friday I felt recovered. By Saturday I was wanting to do it all again.

Joining Alliance of Women Directors

I am joining a professional networking organization, Alliance of Women Directors. Their Web site for those who are interested is, http://allianceofwomendirectors.org.
I've already worked with a few of the members of this organization and had a blast. It is an awesome thing to have this kind of support.

Toy Loan PSA

In an earlier post I talked about the Santa Monica TV & Women In Film LA PSA for Toy Loan. We have a great script, a location, and will be shooting November 20th. Thus far we have had two meetings with the client and one meeting with the client at a location for the Toy Loan programme. We are casting children ages 8 to 13 and anyone who follows my blog and interested in being in the PSA should reply to this post.

The God Experience.

This week news shows all over the world broadcast video of UFO's in NY and Texas. UFO is being used here for it's real meaning in the military understanding as Unidentified Flying Object. The video captured by news crews is amazing and goes to show that you do need to grab that pocket HD camcorder on your way out the door to go buy cat food. You never know when you will see UFOs and well shot video will get air time. I can help you get that video on the internet too. Visit me at

Take the tripod too. Polizzze. Triopod.

I just listened to Whitley Strieber's show, Dreamland, and this week his guest,
Graham Hancock has some very interesting insights into good vs. evil. Bottom line, show evil some love. I think that is what is behind the "God" experience, or what some call Universal Consciousness. If enough people learn how to do that via having the "God experience, they will learn how to be able to show evil love, and thus melt that cold, cold heart of stone. Thus, saving the Earth and mankind. Just thinking out loud here.

Compression from HD to Web Ready

For Module 4 in COM 635 we are asked to start with HD video and use the compression codec H.264 for a file output size of 320 X 180.



I used FCP to edit and then exported to a dot mov file keeping the HD size. I then opened that file in QuickTime Pro and exported the move using H.264 compression.

Warriors Of The Light

Remember when you were a child. Remember how exciting it was to read your first sentence. For me it was the opening of a new world with limitless expressions made with these simple little symbols placed upon paper. After sometime I found that not only was the alphabet used in words but also in math! I discovered a new language. That is when a new level of comprehension enters reality. Next comes programming with binary language, then the different forms of binary language; there are concepts one really never knows is there until they are learned and experienced.

That is also how the abduction experience has unfolded for me. I could see bits and pieces of interesting, if not frightening, lucid dreams combined with physical evidence, but not until much later in life could they be placed in a logical form that showed interrelations between the two. The more correlations made between the dream experiences and the physical, the deeper the understanding. Numerous experiences are under my belt from which to draw theories. Trying to pin down absolute truths in relation to the abduction phenomena is like trying to weld jello to steel; it simply is not possible. When someone tells you they know the truth behind all this, take that with the same grain of salt of which this book should be read. Even those of us that have lived repeated abductions for over 40 years do not understand our small part we play in this peculiar drama.

more to come soon

I recently got my hands on a Manfrotto video camera stabilization system.  I have to say that for the $80 bucks it works great.  It is for only light weight equipment.
