Isn’t life funny sometimes… just when you’re looking for answers, they present themselves! In this case, I’m editing Episode II of my webseries, 7 Shades of Lenity, and we had shot a fight scene at night, and some of the footage is way too dark, and using the usual color correction plugins is way too [...]
Wow! Right off the bat, this has to be, hands down, the most informational video on directing I’ve ever seen. Eric Sherman’s DVD on Directing, along with his books on the subject, are in my top list of reference materials. Eric makes sure you understand the terminology he’s using, so you can understand the subject… [...]

I know it sounds a little self-serving, but to me it’s just funny… If you’re not attending the South by South West festival you’re missing out. It’s one [...]
IMDB Link: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1386588/ In all fairness, I grew up in Portugal (Europe) with a completely different sense of humor, and absolutely LOVE Monty Python… so, as usual, take my personal opinion with that in mind. With that said, I give it a thumbs down. It wasn’t worth the money we paid. First, and foremost, I [...]
Here is a really great way to kill 30 minutes and get some great insight into the film business from Eric Sherman: Episode 6: Eric Sherman: Author, Filmmaker and Educator Eric Sherman’s life is dedicated to movies. He has worn every hat: produced, directed, acted, photographed, edited, done make-up, hair and wardrobe, made popcorn, sold [...]
