Whelp the SchutzHappens blog seems to be ever evolving... which is good... I like that... it keeps me fresh. I have to say that I am enjoying the videos quite a bit and it also seems like you guys have been enjoying them. It has become a much needed creative outlet that I look forward to each month. And actually it is time to start April’s movie. I am very excited. This month I will be working with a new editing program. Up until now, I’ve been getting used to the media... as in working on the computer. For those that know me well, you will remember that I spend the summer of 1999 in Manhattan going to film school. And to put it bluntly... they didn’t use computers there... on purpose. Instead they made us do everything by hand: 16mm film reels, a blade, splicing tape, and a huge flatbed Steinbeck editing machine. It was pretty awesome. I learned a lot... but not having a 16mm or regular access to a Steinbeck... my days of movie making went on hiatus. At least until now... ten later two things have happened: 1) I have a little expendable income and 2) the prices of computers and cameras that are, at least, capable of processing video editing have become affordable. So here I am... finally getting back to my roots. Not that I am producing anything over complicated right now... I’m just getting my confidence back and learning a lot about what I can do on the computer. Little by little right!
Anyway, so I’ve been using Windows Movie Maker... which is an okay program, but I feel like I have out grown it pretty quickly. So, I am moving on... I should probably stop typing and start installing... but before I started my diatribe, I meant to give you a teaser for a couple other things... first, over the next few months of Schutz Happens I will begin moving from blogspot to another location and I plan to enhance the site with some fun extras... so be on the lookout for “schutzhappens.com” coming late this summer! I think it is going to rock! Don’t go now... this is just a teaser!
Also... because I have a warped sense of humor and I like to include people in my warped sense of humor... and well...combined with the fact that we are many, many miles away and I thought it would be a fun way for all to stay connected, I now present to you:
“Ask the Schutz’s!” That’s right, ask us anything that is on your mind... and if we like the question... we’ll feature it on our blog and maybe even in our movies. It can be anything from questions about life in Belgrade or living overseas... to questions about Grayson... or ask Grayson a question... ask Grayson to teach you to use a hammer! Now that would be awesome. Okay I will stop. You get the idea. I not only want to keep this blog fresh... but I want to create a platform for Gray to interact with people directly... in a disconnected sort of way. Follow me?
Anyway, start sending in your questions to schutzhappens@gmail.com today!
