Welcome to Chez Cliff!

Amazing how time flies.

It’s been a few years since I made a video.  Before I shot my first one, I read various books on how to frame shots and create interesting stories.  Actually the Hitchcock book was the best.

While I lay no claim to be another Hitchcock, my editing skills are pretty good.  And really, editing is where you tell the story.  You can have the greatest footage in the world but if you can’t stitch it together to tell a story then your movie is going to be bad.

Well guess what?  I blew the dust off the video camera.  Videos are joining the mix.

I now have a crew.  I’m training a camera person in how to line up shots, lighting, make various pans, blah blah blah.  This will be an incredible time saver.

In the sound department, a friend of mine is a recording engineer.  Since I’ll be speaking on camera, I want to make sure my voice resembles something other than Charlie Brown.

For under $40, I’m thinking something pretty slick can emerge.

The video will debut probably within the next month.  I’ll post it here and suck in the feedback.
