The Home-Movie Editing Begins
Every year, around Christmas-time, we send an elaborately produced home movie on DVD to friends and family. It's typically just a capsulated version of all the home-movies we shot over the past year.
And, every year, the movie gets more and more elaborate... to the point that I have to start working on it earlier and earlier each year. When I say "elaborate," I mean opening titles, a score (which I steal from other movies and CDs), credits, etc. I really go all out. I've already started doing the "post-production" for this year's DVD so it will be ready by Christmas.
This is my way of dealing with my frustrated dream of being a movie director. Sigh.
Anyway, I have finished producing the opening title sequence for this year's home movie. Everyone here seems to get a huge kick out of it. This year's theme is, surprise surprise, super heroes.
I've uploaded it to the server in a streaming WMV file, which takes about a minute to load on a DSL or cable connection. If you have nothing better to do and want to watch the 90 second opening credits for this year's home movie, please humor me by clicking here.
All apologies, of course, to Stan Lee.

Friggin' BRILLIANT, dude- I wish I had the software to do that sort of thing, but I'd probably never leave this room.
Great pics in that montage- Wendy looks awesome and the kids are cute as can be, but for you I'd recommend soy burgers and a treadmill. How's THAT for the pot calling the kettle..?
You have a career waiting for you in Hollywood. Let me know when you're ready and I'll show you the ropes. First, get a book to read on the flight out, Ann Coulter's "How To Talk To A Liberal (if you must)". Because once you get out here, you MUST.
I have to type the word "njnndouc" in order to post this. Is that your Vietnamese webmaster?

Thanks, Dave... one of the problems with that software is that, once you get it, not only do you not leave the room, but you end up needing a diet of soy burgers and a treadmill. If I could wave a magic wand and have whatever job I wanted, it would be directing movies... but I never even pursued it briefly. I'll just stick to the hobby for fear that an attempt to pursue it seriously would end up killing the joy of it.
Thanks for the praise, though, on behalf of Njnndouc and myself.
