Since it has been a month since my last blog post… I feel the need to explain why - I got sick!
On Friday December 6th, Ian and I were done drinking and trying to crash at Nicole’s house, knocking on her door at 3am. Since there was no answer, we crashed in my car. Me, in the back seat, and him sleeping out on the grass, next to the car… with his feet inside, on my passenger seat. Now, with the door open until 7am, and me with no jacket, I assume I caught the cold that way. Argg!
Exhibit A:
Anyway, here is a list of what I have been doing:
12/5 Uploaded most of HD versions of straggling 2008 digital camera videos.
12/15 Began to prep 2006 for tags.
12/16 Finished tagging all of the 2006 image, but realized I messed up on a few.
12/17 Cataloged the HDV tape #53 and added it to the tape logs. I also added a temporary link to both tape logs and published it to the website.
12/19 I finished all 2006 tags.
12/20 I rendered the 2007 Halloween video back to HDV tape as a Master.
12/21 Began to create the video page for the Halloween video on the website.
12/22 & 12/23 I worked on finalizing a corrected output master for both raw footage videos (jack in the box & palm desert). Printing it to HDV tape for the Master and back to MiniDV just didn’t work as I wanted.
12/24 I created the movie pages for both the Jack In The Box & Palm Desert Golf Cart Dummies videos. I decided that all MiniDV footage will be Mastered as 720p HD at 30fps or 24fps (depending on originating frame rate).
12/25 Verified my logs for DV tapes #2 and #4. I noted HDV tape #54 which contains the raw footage of the BDR acoustic session at Travis’. I also uploaded the corrected 720p version of Jack In The Box to YouTube & MySpace.
12/26 I began to edit the BDR acoustics session. I also uploaded the Palm Desert Dummies 720p version to YouTube & MySpace.
12/27 I uploaded the 2007 Mareanne Halloween 720p version of the video to YouTube & my ftp. On that ftp, I also continued to upload the other HD versions of the videos for public downloads. Lastly, I rendered the BDR song Danger of Monotony at The Roxy video.
12/28 Uploaded the BDR Roxy 720p HD video to YouTube & MySpace, along with adding it to my ftp. I also rendered out the Flickr videos from my company holiday party.
12/29-1/4 I took all my free time to catch up and render out all of the videos that accompany the image to their color-corrected and edited Flickr versions.
1/5 I began to upload the image & videos to Flickr that I have taken over the past month but noticed a problem. Flickr has since chosen to use the new H.264 MPEG-4 codec for their uploaded videos. I like the idea, but it is seemingly changing my videos’ frame rates which is causing a ghosting/strobing effect. So until the problem is figured out, I will only upload image that weren’t taken with any videos.
I enjoyed my Christmas and New Year vacation time off. Now back to the regular routine!

My cousins and I head over to the Jack In The Box Drive Thru for some food, and waste time before ordering. The video was added to the Clips and Edits section.
