Freelance

I just finished a freelance project that was relatively high-profile. It was for a company that was holding a conference down in Los Angeles. It involved cutting three videos that were used as openers in a humongous auditorium. They were projected on a giant screen that was hung from the ceiling, and then would drop in sections at distinct moments in the video. It's called a kabuki drop.

The video was little complicated inasmuch as getting the timing right. I worked with my two producers, as well as injected my own input and feedback based on the parameters they were giving me. I think they turned out pretty well.

The most significant thing that this project has done for me is to get me out of the mentality of relying on one particular source of work. Recently due to the Affordable Care Act, I as an oncall have been officially limited in my hours. Technically it hasn't changed how much I work, but it has got me considering what my options are. And that has led to me thinking more outside the "I work at one place" box.

I have always had the desire to move on to bigger and more emotionally satisfying things; it seems the time perhaps, is now. We shall see.
