To the moon: The flagmaker

Some days you just have to stand back and realize it. There's no money in it, all your friends are looking for jobs, the doomsayers are becoming prophets, it's long hours with sometimes little thank you, and most days it seems like no one even sees your hard work unless Michael Jackson or Britney Spears are involved, but some days, you remember it. You remember why you love this job.

I met this really amazing gentleman on Monday for a story to tie in to the 40th anniversary of the Apollo 11 mission.

Oscar Torres reflects on his part in creating the American flag that astronauts placed on the moon.



What a character. :)

Time out Tuesday: Lynda serves up FREE! training

To tie in to the launch of the new version of Apple's Final Cut Pro, Lynda.com has decided to offer up some free training. No doubt to get upgraders quickly up to speed with all the new features, but that doesn't mean there's nothing in there to be learned by folks like you an me who can't upgrade or are (stuck with) using FCExpress.

The range of topics range from the basics like logging and capturing to the advanced like stabilizing video with "smoothcam" to the extras like color correction and an overview on Motion. And at nearly three hours of training, there's bound to be something in there that even the Bruce Strong's among us didn't already know or had forgotten.

So dive in, learn yourself some. :)

Dive bomb

I tried to have some fun with this story about birds at a San Antonio deli that have taken to swooping down and attacking unsuspecting men. Odd to say the least. Hopefully my video matches the tone of the story.
