Update #2

Well the other day, we met this really cool guy who owns a sound studio down here; Steve Jackson, of Pelican Lodge Studios. This guy sure can talk, and he's got so many insane stories to tell. This guy's been all over; from producing multiplatinum records for the likes of Elton John, Stevie Wonder, and The Police, to being a roady/tech guy for have of the big bands of the 70's. Now he's basically set up this studio for "retirement" down here in Antigua and he basically said that he'll let us use his studio for audio recording, and even borrow some of his equipment saying, "You probably can't afford my rates, so at the end of it, just pay me what you think is fair to pay me."

This is the type of guy you need to interview. Doesn't matter what you interview him about, he's probably got a story, or something to say about it no matter what.

Preproduction is inching along as well. We go to picture this Sunday, so everything needs to get put in place ASAP if we want this to move smoothly.

I've been learning how to import, capture and edit HDV (High Definition Video), both through the process of trial and error, and through copious amounts of reading online and in books, in order to get ready to edit, and realize if there will be any possible problems that could present them self in the post production stages. It's best to nip those problems in the butt now and save myself the headache in the future.

The last piece of news: My parents just flew in tonight. They're probably on their way to their hotel right now. We'll meet up with them tomorrow though. It's going to be helpful to have a few extra bodies to help out with the few days of shoot that they're going to be here. :D

That's it for tonight.
Peace!
