"Vicky and Sam" is amazing.

Watch this on the Zacuto Critics season 3 first episode. It was amazing. Great short. You don’t have to watch it but I’m putting it here so that I can always remember it and find it. 

Sometimes you just know.

Recently a very good client of mine sent me one of his projects to do what I do for him. The last 5%. I color correct things, I polish has graphics and I do an audio pass on it. This project was. GREAT. It was light, funny, cute, informative (yea, along with everything else) and I really didn’t feel I wanted to touch it at all, but I did. 

A few weeks later he sent me some of the comments he received about the piece. Unfortunately it was an internal use only piece so I can’t share it with you but the comments were great. I thought I’d share them with you for one reason. Sometimes you think you aren’t doing anything of any significance. but never the less, people are being touched and communicated to.

Here are the comments, (redacted when needed).

Car chases are cool.

Ben Pluimer, The creator of this video posted on his vimeo page this comment… “Last year I interviewed for a TV job, and they asked me if I had ever directed or shot car chases.  I said yes, went home, shot this, and sent it back to them.
I didn’t get the job.”
