Released: Big Mountain's Car Lot

So to keep it short; the time finally came this past monday to release and debut Big Mountain's Car Lot at the local hot spot The Paddy Wagon Irish Pub.

It got some awesome feedback and many people asking about whats next to come? 
I've got a couple of Projects coming along slowly as I work around everything that pops up both planned and randomly on a day to day basis.

So please enjoy Big Mountain's Car Lot and it would be cool if you gave it a thumbs up and shared it too. The thumbs indicates that you enjoyed it and the shares help spread the entertainment to all your family, buddies and co-workers.

Proofed Cuisine (Food, Spirits & Flops)

    I've got an online cooking show that revolves around the use of beer, liquor, and spirits called: Proofed Cuisine and I recently got back to shooting it after a 4 month hiatus; its apparently difficult to acquire someone to run a camera when you live right next to a college where Media is one of the top 5 majors...go figure.
    I was aiming to shoot a Valentine's Day Special...which in essence "Did in fact" take place, then I saw the issues with all the post production and quality of the over all product and decided it was going to be scrapped; had I pushed it through into production it would have been a step back even in comparison to my Draft Episode.
    I've produced and edited the show myself with camera work and assistance from a couple of people; one consistent. I'm hoping to gain experience from trial and error outside of professional multi-media houses/ studios. Sometimes there are small successes, though there are flops on occasion. We won't go into flops, but they do happen and after a set is completed to find that everything after a certain point can not be used, its kind of a bummer. You've just got to dust yourself off and move on.
    Below I've provided a link to the first impromptu shoot and then the most recent shoot of Proofed Cuisine.

Proofed Cuisine (Episode 1)




    There would be a video image for Proofed Cuisine 4 if Blogger were willing to cooperate and add one.
    Anyway, this is one of my many independent projects that I've been pushing along and gaining experience from. 
    As always. Thanks for checking out my Blog, and have a Great Day!

Thanks,

Big Mountain's Car Lot (Post 4)

    Hey, so its been 2 weeks and I've technically finished editing Big Mountain's Car Lot. I've got a full 3.5minute version as well as a 1min 40 second version of it. I'm thinking about turning it into something more once I release the first version after its public debut; I'm planning on showing it at the local hot spot The Paddy Wagon Irish Pub in the next week or two. I enjoy working with them when I have the time and do some of their video works; they have a couple events coming up soon so keep your eyes pealed on The Paddy Wagon.
    As for giving credit where its due; I'm waiting for A&A to give me some feedback on what they think of BMCL before I make it public and give them location credits to make sure they don't mind being associated with the project.
    I enjoyed producing it myself and now that its about done; I'll run a couple streams of promotion and then make it public so everyone can watch and share it. I enjoy the quality I get on Vimeo better than Youtube, but there are all these restrictions on uploading that make it difficult to just post anything on there without paying for priority.
    Below I've posted the last entry before I actually release "Big Mountain's Car Lot" in the next week or so, and then begin the next step in the process of the larger project. We were limited on Behind the Scenes stuff because our Grip was on call for work and had to leave so without giving anything away we had to audit behind the scenes stuff.
