It is actually our Christmas present to each other, but the reason is simplicity. We had a camcorder that we bought before Olivia was born, so it’s a bit outdated. Plus- digitizing all the tapes is a pain. It’s a surprisingly common problem. The [...] Oy! It’s that time of year again. Nutcracker is in full swing at the theatre. I have to say- before I came to work here, I wasn’t much of a Nutcracker fan….but the Butler Ballet does a pretty maxed out job.

To stream that amount [...] While this weekend’s gig was fairly painful, there was one bright spot. To make a long story short, I am required to roll a couple of DVD clips for an awards program. The problem is that there are very few pro-level DVD players that allow the type of cueing that I need- and they are [...] I teach a class in the Apprentice Training Program for my Local. It’s mainly about what we used to call in the entertainment industry “video”, but it often times falls into many different categories. I started last year by trying to discuss TV and the mechanics behind it, but I soon found I was discussing [...] |
