Hope everyone has a great year ahead!  This is the first time in 7 years I'm not playing on NYE.  Great to be at home with the family!

I spent the evening painting my color correction bay/studio in the basement. Once I got the kids to bed. Nothing much gets done with a 4 and 2 year old 'helping' you!  ;)

Happy New Year guys and (from my perspective) here's hoping 2010 is a much better year. Though I really can't complain too much. My kids and I are healthy and my wife is doing better than she was, so '09 wasn't all bad!

I have spent the night fighting a cold that I got from someone on Christmas. It is coming to an end but it has just been annoying these past couple of days. Seeing as it is only 11 here at the time of this post, I am hoping some of my friends get back to play some games on Xbox Live before the end of the night.

You do color correction work George?

Yup. From 1995 until earlier this year I worked for various post production facilities in LA and NYC. I got laid off amid all the changes in the industry (due to the strikes and threatened strikes a LOT of people did). Things have changed so much in post that I don't know if there will ever be the availability of colorist jobs again, so I'm building a Final Cut/Apple Color bay and will try to work independently on smaller indy projects and local advertising campaigns (I'm in Utah now). I don't know yet whether it will work, but I'm going to give it a go!

Good luck with that. I just started at a tech school out here to get a BA in Visual Effects and Digital Media as I have been focusing on that area for the past few years and one can only learn so much on their own at times. I originally thought about being an editor but my focus shifted and now I am considering different areas of vfx including matte painting. To go with that, I have been doing some motion graphics work over the past couple years for a small company out here in Venice.

Sometimes you have to take things into your own hands ! Bests of luck to you George ! I have been in much the same position since 2004, I am now "doing my own thing" and loving it, I already have work through March. Envision it and it will be.

Happy New Years guys!  I fell asleep in my chair before 11:00 last night - no more wild nights for me :)

My wife and I went out for Chinese food (her pick-nice place), then to a late showing of the Sherlock Holmes movie (not bad, probably worth a sequel if they want) and then listened to the Big Bad Voodoo Daddy concert on NPR roll past midnight as we drove home.

My best to all here - a very convivial group, and a pleasure to know!

Hey George, I started in radio & TV, got advanced degrees in adult education, but recently came full circle to managing all the technologies other than our website for our continuing education division at Colorado State U.  I'm back to producing video promos and online materials - this time in digital formats rather than analog.  Last time I did video production was 1998 at Texas A&M...and we were just moving from analog to digital.  This time I booted my learning curve upward into the digital side, bought video and editing gear, and I'm learning OJT as the "sole authority".

Learning the digital side while producing video is a whole new gig, and it's funny how it can take hours or days to figure out how to do a process that requires only a minute or two.  I've had plenty of road blocks but worked through them.

I hope that your project is a success - I've heard a lot about small firms that do specialized work and can do well at it.  I wish you the best.

Here's hoping for a great 2010 for all!
