Back on the Feet Again

I used to say that I could lose my legs and I'd still be able to function in the world and earn a living. But the last year taught me otherwise.

I am coming up on my first year anniversary of a pretty nasty leg break (see earlier blog entry). I can't say I am 100% rehabilitated yet despite my best efforts. I am no longer hindered, but by no means optimal. It's a lengthy process.

And the same goes for my writing - no longer hindered, but by no means optimal. It's a lengthy...

Cyber Nation

Cybernation: The state or act of being cybernated or automated.

The year was 1990. I was 22. I had already spent several years looking out the figurative window to Hollywood. That was my dream, my destiny. I wanted to be a part of the magic. But like any magic trick, once you know the secret, what's behind the curtain or hidden beneath the stage, it has a tendency to lose its allure. The mystery is solved, so the pursuit of understanding ends.

Or does it?

Break a Leg?

Whoever said breaking a leg was the right thing to do when pursuing your passion really needs to have his head examined. Because it took breaking my leg to get me back in here. You see, I got sidetracked for the last several months. I was supposed to be writing another feature script, but Santa was good to me last December and allowed me to park a nice, practically new Corvette Z06 in my garage. And this car consumed me, mind, body and spirit.

Sewing 101 and Other Latent Skills

Posted 03-02-2008 at 01:06 AM by VPTurner

Today I raided a local fabric store and picked up a ream of black felt and some blackout material. I borrowed my mother-in-law's sewing maching and am about to embark on some DIY flags. I also picked up half a yard of long-haired black costume fur to finally sew together a fuzzy cover for my microphone blimp. My only concern with the DIY fuzzy cover is the costume fur and material probably won't be acoustically neutral. I'll have to run a series of tests on it. For 7 bucks and a little spare time,...

It's Alive!

Posted 02-20-2008 at 05:13 PM by VPTurner

The project is still in the works, just stalled while I round out my knowledge, production equipment, crew and talent. The story as it was last rewritten is still viable now that the predicament of my chosen cast members is slowly beginning to settle down.

Over the last couple of days, I took a major step towards rounding out my production equipment. Since I bought most of my camera equipment used, there were several missing and/or broken parts. All replacement parts are now on order...
