Excited

Now I am REALLY excited.  I can't believe I am getting the hang of this editing thing.

Yesterday I spent another afternoon at CAPS-TV and came very close to finishing my practice video editing project of a 5-minute promo for my Tai Chi instructor, Judy.  I am loving the way it is turning out.  Needless to say, it is FAR from perfect, but it looks pretty nice just the same.

I also noticed that the more mistakes I made, and the more help I needed from Evan at the station, the more I was learning about the editing program.  AND I noticed how completely anal I was about getting everything Just Right.  I was literally shocked at how easy things were going but OMG I am so picky . . . at everything I do!  LOL

And then I forced myself to hit two potential jazz venues to look for gigs.  I guess you might say the gig search was my reward for working hard because both venues are wineries, both were in the beautiful Malibu mountains, and both required wine tasting.  Not a bad deal if you have to look for work.

I believe my first editing (practice) project will be finished by next Saturday when I have the editing bay booked next.

I'm starting to believe I'm confident enough to begin editing Voices of the Homeless.  I'm even starting to believe it might not suck.
