I think our blog needs some theme posting.

The first one is from 2002-07-18 and that’s Mariel feeding Dexter while rocking the FM radio ear goggles.

This next one is from 2007-05-01 at about noon. That’s Eddie and she hopped up into the pack and play to lay with Chase who is rocking the binky.

Dexter came home one day and informed me that I was in charge of editing and special effects for a new movie he was making.  I was taken aback a bit because I had never given him any indication that this was something I was capable of handling.  Since then I have found open source powerhouse software Blender – which is everything I ever wanted in a video editor and 3d modeling software. However I have no idea how to do any of that.

He takes after me – almost everything impressive I’ve ever done started with me stating that I could easily handle something that I was no where close to being ready to handle (professionally, in sports, with Mariel/kids, and countless computer adventures). So now any home video I shoot I am trying my hardest to edit it down to the quality frames, mix in music, and try to add a little more to my skill set with each one.

So this is fair warning. Expect to see lots of regular old boring home videos with funky (ill-used) video effects added to them posted here.

Hopefully by 2010 I’ll be ready to bring some kick-yah video effects to Dexter’s super hero movie.
