Crazy Day then Crash

Today I had to get up early so I could pack up all of the Christmas stuff we were shipping to Harry's family in Austria and then I had to take it to the post office and ship it off. When I got to the post office I was happy to see that it wasn't too crowded. Only took me about 15 minutes to get to the desk. The box weighted 19 pounds and they told me that there was no guarantee that it would get there by Xmas.. on btw it cost $90 bucks to ship.

I get to work a little late because of the post office and as soon as I get in it's run, run, run.. none stop. I don't think I actually sat down and turned on my computer until around noon. The rest of the day was busy, busy, busy.

Later that night when I was working on The Ready Room podcast my knee hit a cord that was attached to my new 1TB hard drive and it feel about a foot to the carpet. When I picked it up I noticed it was making some rather strange noises and sure enough the drive is damaged and I'm not sure I'll be able to get anything off it. If that is the case I lost 50+ hours of BTS of The Guild that I had digitized and a ton of personal stuff that I had backed up from my computer hard drive. I'm hoping I can at least get the material off the drive.. but things don't look good.

I just want this day to end.

It's all about The Guild

Today was all about The Guild. First of all The Guild released it's 2008 Christmas special which was FANTASTIC. Not only did I capture a tone of BTS footage I was also set decorator and helped with setting up the Christmas stuff behind the actors.. it was a lot of fun.

And then Felicia Day updated her Blog with a post about me and other fellow volunteers for Season Two of The Guild. She said some very sweet things about me. You can read it here.

And lastly, they have started to post BTS photos that I have taken on set while shooting the second season of The Guild.. you can see them here.

The Guild, Stargate and Sickness

Today I woke up still not feeling so hot. It's the kind of sick where it doesn't knock you on your butt so you're able to still do things.. you just feel like crap when doing them.

In the afternoon I finished editing The Guild Wrap Party Highlight Video. I think it turned out pretty good. It runs for 18 + minutes. Now I just have to figure out how to output it so the file size is fairly small and the picture quality is fairly good... wish me luck.

My friend Rico from the Treks in Sci Fi forums posted a very cool Amazon.com deal. They had all 10 seasons of Stargate SG1 on DVD boxset on sale for only $99. I watched this series on and off over the years but it's an on going story and once you fall behind it's hard to catch up. And I have always wanted to start watching this series so I couldn't pass up the opportunity to buy all ten seasons for such a great price... and though I really shouldn't have .. I bought the boxset. :)

A Cough, Shopping and Dinner

Today I woke up with a sore throat and a bad cough. The cold that was going around finale caught up to me. I feel horrible but we must continue to go Christmas shopping.

Harry and I went of the Fallbrook mall and managed to shop a few hours before we had to get to our friends John and Moises' place for Christmas dinner.

Every year John and Moises have us over for a home made Christmas dinner along with a few friends. This year beside John, Moises, Harry and I were Tom, Ervin, Bruce and Matthew. Moises always makes a wonderful dinner every year and this year was no different. This time around we did your traditional Turkey dinner with all the trimmings. Moises is a wonderful chief and we look forward to having dinner with them every year.. you could ask for any more.. Good food with good company.

Xmas and the Guild

Today was a busy day. Got up early so I could start making some Christmas presents for some friends. Every year I like to make a personal gift for family and friends. Being so busy as of late I got a late start and I'm very behind.

In the afternoon I went to my Brothers to visit Dad, brother and sister-in-law. Got to see the sonogram of my new niece/nephew. Only the size of an egg but it was still cool. Harry stayed home to work on his family DVD that he does every year so it was just me which was kind of weird since Harry and I have been together we have always visited my family together. Dad and I went Xmas shopping as I realized that I had many more family members to buy for. We then had some lunch and I headed home.

Once I was home I started to work on The Guild Wrap Party Highlight video. I knew folks were excited to see it so I wanted to get it done ASAP. It was tough as there were alot of people who sang and I knew I had to keep the video fairly short because it was going to be posted on You Tube. I got a good start on it.

BSG and Office Lights

Today a new mini web series for Battlestar Galactica started today. There are going to be 10 episodes. Episode One Right off the bat they outed one of the semi-regular characters as being gay which I thought was very cool and it was done so matter of fact which I liked. I look forward to seeing where this goes and I can't wait for BSG to start back up in Jan. 09.

I also finished putting up my office lights.. now my office is decked out from floor to ceiling in Christmas. I love it.

A Special Guild Shoot

Today was a very special Guild shoot and I was so looking forward to it. I had planned to take a half-day and film this shoot in the morning and come to work mid day. Well things didn't work out as planned. First of all the shoot was way down in Orange and would have take 3 plus hours to get down there by 9am and then it would take hours to get back and if I wanted to work at 1pm I would only be able to stay for an hour or so. Also there was a meeting I had to go to at 11am and since this job pays the bills I couldn't go to this shoot. But I did pass on my camera and tapes to my friend Jared (Gaffer for the Guild) and they said they would get someone to take some footage for me.. so I'll still be able to do a cool BTS about this very special and cool shoot day.

A Shocking Experience

Today I decorated my office at work. I put up all my Xmas items and started to hang lights. I was using a staple gun to hang the lights. As I finished putting up about 400 lights and I was stapling my last staple I hit the cord and put a staple right through the middle and the next thing I knew there was a loud pop and a flash of bright blue light then all 400 lights went out. I short-circuited all five stands and now every light is dead.. luckily I did not get hurt but now I have to go to Target and pick up 400 more lights and try again.

Tuna Grande Take Two

Well since my first set of photos of cast and crew with the large can of Tuna went over so well I took more photos of the crew with the big can of Tuna on the final shoot day for The Guild second season. Here is the link to the photos.

Big Screen TV

Well today our Big Screen 60" TV was delivered. Of course I couldn't wait to get home and open it up. Though it is a Xmas gift for Harry and I from Harry and I there was no way we were going to wait till Christmas to open it.

When I got home I was surprised on how big the box was and after some moving around of furniture I was able to open it and remove it from the box.

It was beautiful, I knew I wasn't going to be able to hook it up HD 1080i because I needed an HDMI cable but I did want to hook it up to my cable. And though it was just 480i the first thing we watched was a MASH episode and OMG the colors were unbelievable. We played around with the screen sizes, as there are about six different ones. I plan on hooking it up HD this weekend when I get the cable but this TV is huge and the colors are beautiful. Both Harry and I are very happy with our Xmas present.

Closing our Ebay Store

Well after a year and a few months Harry and I decided to close our EBay Store "Federation Outpost". For a year we did okay, didn't make a ton of money but enough to continue it but the past few months we haven't even made enough to cover the costs so it was time to shut it down. Who know if I decide to sell off more of my toys we might re-open it but for now it's best to close it.

Guild Mini Wrap Party

Tonight The Guild cast and crew went out to Dimples (Karaoke Bar) to celebrate the end of the The Guild season two shoot. They are planning a bigger and final wrap party in January when we are actually done with all the editing. But for tonight we all went out for drinks and singing. It was a blast, it's funny seeing folks who you work with let their hair down and rock on with the singing. Everyone had a great time and I have video to prove it. Felicia is going to post some of the video on The Guild You Tube channel soon. And I even got up there twice and sang with several others.. and I didn't have a drop of alcohol, because I was driving. it was a fun night.

The Final Guild Shoot

Today is the final Guild shoot for season two. Of course I had to work but I felt it was important to be there at least half the day as I have been with this gang since the beginning. So I worked from 9am to 3:30pm and then drove over to the location of the final shoot. I managed go hang out and shot a bit more BTS for another four hours before Sean Becker said, "That's a Wrap " for the final time.

It was kind of bitter sweet, on one hand this has taken alot of my weekends and time away from Harry but on the other hand it was great being part of something that I love. I'm a fanboy and always will be. This has been the best experience working with some of the nicest and most talented people in the industry. This wasn't a job for me, I volunteered my time and services because I wanted to be part of something special. Of course my part has just begun. I now have 50 hours of footage to go through and come up with some really cool BTS pieces for DVD.

I may not see everyone on a weekly bases as before but I have made many friends and hope to continue with the friendship once this is over.. and of course there is always SEASON THREE.

Tuna Grande

While on this weekends shoot with The Guild we found this 4 1/2 pound can of Tuna. So of course me being me I had to take a photo of everyone holding the giant can of tuna.. above is Felicia Day. I took tons of pictures of cast and crew with the giant can of tuna.. you can see them on my facebook page. Click Her

Extra, Extra.. I'm an Extra

This weekend (December 6 & 7) shoot was alot of fun. It was for the final few episodes of the second season of The Guild. I had missed Friday so I was really looking forward to this weekend. This was an extra speical weekend as it would be our final shoot weekend and we had alot of extras on set. And another cool thing was I got to be one of the extras as well. So I think by the time this season is over I will have appeared in four episodes. I hate being in front of the camera, that's why I work in post, but I have to say it's fun being an extra.

This was a full weekend, I interviewed extras/fans for a BTS piece, I appeared on camera and meet some really cool Guildies.

Pole Dancing the Wrong Way

It was a long fun weekend and the last hour of the shoot on Sunday I found myself running sideways filming BTS stuff trying to stay behind the camera so I wouldn't ruin the shoot. Well on the second take I was running full out and the next thing I knew I was lying on my back.

What happened was when I was running sideways and so focused on keeping behind the camera I didn't notice the hard metal pole in my path and I ran right into it with my head. The force of the hit knocked me off my feet and the next thing I knew I was lying on my back and having Felicia Day and the crew rush over to me.

Of course I jumped up quickly and shook it off. Felicia kept telling me to sit down but I was okay. I had a headache and was more embarassed then anything.

On a good note my video camera that I was holding was fine, but on a bad note my still camera that was in my pocket was damaged beyond repair.

And another good thing was I was recording the entire time.. I can't wait to see that footage.

Christmas Light Blow Out

Up at 7am on a very cold morning before the Guild shoot fixing the lights on the roof as the entire roof "Merry Christmas" were out. Luckily it was the first strand in the line and once I replaced it the entire worked again.. so now my house is once again decked out in Christmas lights.

Missing a Guild Shoot

Today, Saturday, Sunday and Monday is an extra long weekend shoot for The Guild second season. But since I did a half day yesterday to shot some really cool BTS I couldn't take off work today to be there for the shoot today. This was the first time I wasn't able to make a guild shoot for all of season two and I was bummed out. But since I'm doing the Guild BTS for fun and need my job to actually live I choose to work. And luckily I did.. it was a crazy day at work.

Guild Shoot or Work?

Today the Guild was doing a practice/rehersal for a really cool and exciting thing that's happening in the last few episodes of Season Two.. of course I can't say much but as I'm doing the BTS of the DVD I knew I had to film it because it was going to be very cool and alot of fun. So I had to choose to take a half day at work and head to Inglewood to film this.

It was a lot of fun and I'm sure it's going to be a really cool part of the BTS for the DVD.

After I went to work for the remaining day. That's one good thing about being boss. :)

TV Night

Well after a few months off we finally started our TV nights again. This time around instead of doing TV series we are doing Scifi/Fantasy movies or anything else geeky. Tonight I got Madagascar 2 dvd screener and since none of us saw it we decided to watch that. It was pretty good, if you liked the first then you'll like this one. It was great to see our friends Tom, John and Moises as it's been a while since we all got together. We have TV/Movie night every Thursday at 7:30pm and starting next week will have our new 60" Big Screen TV... so if you would like to join us please email me.

Big Screen TV

Well we haven't had much luck with Big Screen TV's. My first 45" TV my brother sold to me for $200 and all it needed was a new screen but it cracked while they were moving it. I was assured that it would be easy to find.. well it wasn't and come to find out they don't make that TV or screens anymore so it became a great big piece of plastic.

Our second big screen 50" that my mom bought from a friend for my birthday last year. After a crazy drive from Newport to Reseda the TV was great and worked for a whole five months before it decided to break down. We paid $50 bucks for a guy to come out and say that this is what is wrong and by the way they don't make those parts anymore.. once again we have a great big piece of plastic.

Well today we decided instead of getting "used" TV's since we don' t have the best of luck we went and got a brand spanking new 60" big screen TV. It's actually a Christmas present from Harry and I to Harry and I.

It's a Mitsubishi 60" 1080p DLP HDTV

We were trying to get a LCD or Plasma but with the size we wanted we would have to spend three times the amount we got this TV for. Best Buy was having one of their cyber Monday sales and we got this 60" TV for a great price of $999.99. It should be arriving this Wednesday and the real question is should we wrap it up and open it on Christmas day... yeah right.. :)

World Aids Day


We must continue to fight this horrible disease.

The Guild BTS

After hanging lights, I finished my first behind the scenes piece for the DVD of the second season of The Guild. This first piece is the only piece that will play on MS Video after they air the fourth episode. I think it turned out pretty good and both Felicia (creator) and Kim (producer) enjoyed it, which is what is important. I brought the hard drive with the quicktime of the piece over to Felicia's. We chatted for about 15 minutes and then I was on my way home to try and enjoy the last remaining few hours of my long weekend. All in all a very fun and Christmasy extended weekend.

Christmas Lights

On my last day of my four-day weekend I was able to put up our Christmas lights on our house. I got up early around 8am and started to sort through the stands of lights. I was amazed at how many of the strands were half-out and unusable. Luckily we bought some a few days after Christmas last year so I had some back up lights. So I climbed onto the roof and started to hang lights. Last year I wanted to write Merry Christmas on the roof but didn't have enough lights but this year I had plenty. I am happy with the results and I think I'm going to add a few more lights to the garage and front door area but for the most part it's very Christmasy at our place.

Christmas Shopping

Today Harry and I finally were able to get out and start our Christmas shopping. Well we really started a few weeks ago but only online buying. Today we actually went out to the stores and man were they busy. So many people and a ton of traffic... I think we lasted about four hours before Harry and I looked at each other and said "we are done". Both of us don't like crowds and there were some big crowds. But we did manage to get a bunch of stuff. This year is going to be a lighter year but we enjoy giving and will give what we can... tomorrow I'm putting up Christmas lights.

Christmas Decorating

Well as tradition with me it's the day after Thanksgiving so now I have permission to decorate my house. Today I did the living room and dining room. This is my favorite time of the year and I love putting up as much stuff as I can. Next up are the lights on the house.

Thursday, November 27, 2008

Thanksgiving

Today Harry and I went to my Mom's for Thanksgiving. Along with my brother and sister-in-law, grandmother and step dad's sister and boyfriend. Traffic was horrible and it took us nearly 2 hours to get down to Newport Beach. But once there is was a good day and an excellent Turkey dinner.

More Guildie Goodness

Today is the premiere of the Second Season of The Guild.

This season is sponsored by MSN, Sprint and XBox Live. You can watch all of season one (about 40 minutes) and the first episode of season two here.

I have been doing alot of behind the scenes videotaping (as you know if you read my blog on a regular bases) and I'm very proud of being part of The Guild family. Of course most of my work won't be seen until the Season Two DVD comes out but I do have a few things that might be released before hand. I am also taking all the still photos of the BTS and those are starting to show up on the main website www.watchtheguild.com.

Please support this great webseries, Felicia Day (creator/writer/actress) is the sweetest person you can ever met and deserves all the success she gets.

Rock on Guildies!!!!!

3rd Pass on BTS The Guild

Today I was able to cut in the opening credits and tweak some of the audio for my BTS The Guild piece. It looks great, going to send it one more time to Felicia and Kim just in case they want to make any changes. Then on this coming Friday I'll uprez it and output it.. Once BTS piece down.. many more to go. They are so much fun to work on I can't wait to see what else I can come up with.

More DVD Screeners

Over the past few days I have gotten a few more DVD screeners. Of note I got Wall-E and Kung Fu Panda, both we saw in the theater but really enjoyed them. We actually watched Wall-E on Sunday... but today I got The Dark Knight, which is awesome since I haven't been able to get to the movies to see this one. So I'm very excited to sit down this weekend and check it out. I love getting these screeners as this past year I have been so busy and we haven't had many chances to get to the movies so I love getting movies I haven't seen yet.. let's hope I get many more.

Rest and Notes

Today I pretty much rested. I still wasn't felling 100% and I had done some running around and really shouldn't have. I had planned to do some Christmas shopping and get out all our Christmas decorations but once I was on the couch it was hard to get off.

I did get an email from Felicia saying how much she loved my BTS piece and had only one note about adding the show's opening credits to the beginning. Whoo hooo.

Saturday, November 22, 2008

2nd Pass on the BTS The Guild

Today I was finally able to work on the notes that Felicia and Kim gave me and cut in the directors interview as well. After a few hours I am very pleased with the results. I can't really talk about what it is as it's all very top secret but I do know it's a companion piece for Episode 4 of season two.. it will also be an extra on the Season two DVD. Now I get to send it off to Felicia and Kim for final notes.

Picture is of Sean (Director), Me, and Jared (Gaffer) looking tough... well trying to anyways.

Pushing Daisies Cancelled

I was so bummed to hear that ABC in all its wisdom cancelled Pushing Daisies. I guess it's not a surprise as this is a very unique and one of a kind TV series and there is nothing else like it on TV... so of course it had to be cancelled. In it's first season last year it was a modest hit and a fan favorite. Unfortunately the writers strike ended it's first season with only 9 episodes and ABC never repeated it during the break so it disappeared for nine months. The second season has been great it seems the audience never came back. At least we got 13 episodes this season and since the producer said they ended it on a cliffhanger he plans to continue the story via comic book or maybe even a movie.. so Pushing Daisies may be gone from the airwaves, it's not the last will see of this wonderfully whimsical world.

Feeling Better

Today I am feeling better, I had another rough night last night as my body was so achy and I couldn't find a good position to sleep in. I did go into work around noon and that was a mistake. You know how you feel better so you start to do your normal stuff but you really aren't better and should rest... well I made the mistake of thinking I was better.. got home around 5pm and rested the rest of the day..

Food Poisoning

So about 10pm last night I wasn't feeling so hot. I felt as though I was going to throw up and my stomach was being ripped apart. I knew something was wrong and because it came on so fast I realized that it must have been food poisoning. Harry and I had the same dinner (I made Chicken and rice) and he was fine so I'm thinking it was the Jack in the box I had for lunch. All I know is that I was in major pain and there was nothing I could do to stop it. I slept on an off getting up over and over to run to the bathroom thinking I was going to throw up.. well nothing happened. I had taken several baths to sooth my stomach. I had not eaten all day and had no desire too.

Well today I called into work and told them I wasn't coming in as there was no way I was able to stand for more then five minutes. Finally around 10am after another bath I was going to make my self-vomit. I knew that once I got this stuff out of my stomach I would start to feel better. Well I got out of the bath and was about to stick my finger down my throat when it happened. Four times in a row.. I hadn't thrown up in six or seven years and it's such a horrible feeling.

But once it was over I started to feel better and I even had a few spoon full of tomato soup, which my wonderful husband made for me. Slowly I started to feel better.. not great but better.. I hope to feel better tomorrow.

Today I got my first DVD screener for the upcomng award season. Being a member of the PGA (Producers Guild of America) this is one of the perks.. I hope this is the first of many. BTW the movie is Rachel Getting Married.

Official Star Trek Movie Trailer

Today Paramount released the new Star Trek trailer in all its HD glory. I had seen a bootleg version of it on Friday but it was like night and day. I watched the trailer six or seven times and downloaded it in HD and watch it frame by frame. This day started off pretty rocky but ended on a high with this fantastic trailer.. and the funny thing is my brother called me and said.. I just saw the trailer.. OMG when are we going to see this.. and if you know my brother he is a huge Star Wars fan and never much of a Star Trek fan so this was a big deal.

You can check out the trailer here.. http://www.startrekmovie.com/

It's Monday

Today I was woken up to the noise of repair crews scrapping the asphalt off of the street in front of our house. Trucks and large machines start to arrive around 5am and they start making very loud noises around 7. I guess it's all for the better as we will be get a new street and this wasn't a total surprised as we were warned but it's still not fun being woken up an hour before you were suppose to get up.

What made it even worse is that I had gotten a call from one of my Loggers over the weekend that they were having problems with the system so I had to get into work extra early anyways to figure out what the problem was.

What a great way to start my week.

Driving to Dads

Today Harry and I went to visit my Dad. At first I wasn't sure we were going to go because of all the fires in the area. We knew freeways were shut down and that traffic might be really bad. So we checked online to see if any of the freeways we take were closed and everything was opened at the moment. I then called Dad to see what it was like out in his area and he said it was blue skies and not a hint of smoke in the area.

So Harry and I got in the jeep and headed over. It was hot in the low 90's and we had to roll down the windows so as we were speeding along we had smoke filled hot air rushed into the jeep. I kept looking around and noticing that everyone around us had their windows rolled up but Harry and I had decided that we would rather have smoky air then be sweaty and hot. As we drove the air got worse and worse. I had never seen it that bad here in southern California. The skies were brown and the air had a brown haze hanging about.

Once we got to Burbank the air was really bad and I started to have breathing problems. I asked if Harry was okay and he said he wasn't having any problems. it was though I was at a high elevation and the oxygen was very thin. I almost turned around and went home as I didn't like the feeling of not being able to breath. But we continued and as we went we would find decent area of light brown skies to really bad areas of dark brown skies.

We saw blue skies as we got to Chino Hills, it was amazing as it just suddenly was blue and there was no smoke as far as the eye could see. When we got to dads in Corona it was a beautiful sunny blue day. It seems the hills kept the smoke back and you would never know there were raging fires just a few miles away. So we spent a very nice "smoke" free day with my Dad, brother and sister-in-law.

Worked on BTS of The Guild

A few days ago I sent my first pass of the Behind the Scenes piece I was working on for The Guild. Yesterday both Felicia and Kim looked at it and gave me some notes. I also interviewed the director for the piece. Now I just need to find some free time to work on my 2nd pass.

Another Guild Shoot / Fires

When I woke up today and took the dog out for her morning walk it was like walking through fog, but it wasn't fog, it was thick black smoke from the surrounding fires. There was ash raining down and if you didn't know better you would have sworn the fire was a block away and not 10 miles up in the hills.

It was another Guild shoot today and I figured since it was at Felicia's house in Hollywood I would be able to escape the smoke and ash... well I was wrong. More fires had started south of Hollywood and combined with the ones raging north of Hollywood there was smoke everywhere. We all did our best and finished shooting. It was another 12-hour day and it was kind of bitter sweet as this was going to be the last day of shooting at Felicia's house as we are starting to wrap up season two of The Guild. Besides the bad air it was another fun shoot.

2 Minutes of New Who

Today in England they premiered the Children in Need special and like past years they had a little clip from Dr. Who. Normally it's a scene that plays between the two seasons but this year they played the first few minutes of the next Dr. Who Christmas special. I managed to get my hands on a copy and got to enjoy some new Who. It was only two minutes but it looked great and I'm looking forward to this years Christmas special.

Another Trailer.. well kind of

Today with the new 007 movie they released the new Star Trek movie trailer. I did manage to find a bootleg version of is pretty good. After watching it I am really excited for this movie. It looks like Trek and has some Trek qualities but man it feels totally different then Trek. I've heard good and bad things from friends who have seen the trailer. I don't think you can judge the entire movie based on this two minutes of footage but I know the more I see of this movie the more excited I become.. can't wait till next summer.

Harry Potter Trailer

Today out of nowhere WB released a new full length Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince movie trailer. This was such a wonderful surprise. The trailer is AWESOME. As you know I'm a huge Harry Potter fan and as some of you may know the movie was suppose to come out today but due to the recent strikes they postponed the opening till next summer, as WB had no good flicks to carry the summer of 09. So instead of the movie we get a really cool movie trailer. The trailer was fantastic and I must have watched it at least ten times and then downloaded the HD version and watched it frame by frame. This made a stressful day at work so much better. You can check it out here..

Work, Work, Work

Today I got in around 9am and didn't stop running all day long. I have six editing bays running and I'm digitizing none stop. By the time it was time to go home I was so exhusted. If this is how this show is going to be I'm in for a real hard and tough road.

More Guild Stuff

Tonight I had one of the Guild cast members come over to my house to record some lines to help fill out the piece that I am working on. It's getting closer to being finished.

Uncle Kenny

Today on my way home from work I got a call from my brother and he said.. "how are you doing Uncle Kenny". It took me a second then realized what he said. After trying for 2 1/2 years my sister-in-law is pregnant. I have never heard my brother so happy or proud. This is their first child and will be my first niece or nephew. We are all very excited.

This pregnancy won't be easy but we are all hoping for the best and in about eight months we should have a new addition to our family.

Mom's Birthday

Happy Birthday Mom.. hope you have a great day.. love you.

Editing The Guild BTS

Today I got to re-cut the BTS piece that I am currently working on. Since I got footage of my interview with Felicia I wanted to re-work the piece. Right now it runs about 3 1/2 minutes. I still have to do some ADR with one of the cast members and then add some music and polish it up. I hope to have it done be next weekend.

Another Guild Shoot

Today we shot a "special" Guild episode. Can't really say much about it but it was half a crew so things were a bit quieter and we all wore many hats. Not only did I do BTS footage but I also helped with art direction. I also was able to interview Felicia for the BTS piece that I am currently editing. It was another fun 12-hour shoot.
