Video Editing challenge: Meadowlake Studios Encounter: Dante Zapata

     Dante Zapata's "She's not going to change your mind" has feeling and depth.  The up tempo Reggie gives it movement. 

      We had a great time filming at Double D Music.  They were gracious in letting us move around and take over their limited space. 
      We put together a 30 minute Meadowlake Studios Encounter show of the Dante Zapata Trio.   The show should air on McMinnville Community Media soon. 

       Directing (and editing) a two camera shoot when the camera operators are not in audio contact and the cameras are not going through a switcher is not the best of situations.  Getting them to in sinc at the beginning is easy.  Then one of the cameras get snapped off for a few seconds, it happens so easy, then the editing is a nightmare. 

Writing and the Delete Key

Rachel Kadish in a Ploughshare's blog says we live in an age of instantaneous deletion.  The delete key is our friend.  That is for sure.  But I'm of an age when paper got crumpled into a waste basket overflowing on the floor, then used to start the fire in the fireplace.  She is sweetly nostalgic, but I truly love spell check.

Because we write to be heard or read, Rachel says all writing is essentially an unrequited love letter.  Were it so simple.
