Nova: Ape Genius

I just got an email from the production company. It seems that one of my first "major" jobs in the film/video industry (done for National Geographic) will air tomorrow night. Ironically right after that shoot, things took off and I can't even remember when we shot the locally (Austin, TX) done video.

Congrats on the airing.  It makes you reflect on how far you've come when the long-forgotten gig comes around.

I'm in my own self-congratulatory mood these days ;) as one of the first features I mixed (only 5 years ago) just got released on DVD by Warner.

Good story about George Jackson, author of Soledad Brother, and an outspoken member of the militant black guerrilla family.  Film is called "Black August" and is kicking around Amazon and Netflix and such.

Haven't seen it yet, so can't say if it's good or bad, but the subject is worthy...

Wow! hard to believe but they reduced the entire 10 hours of shooting down to less than 3 minutes and reduced 2 long interviews down to 4 sentences from one researcher. In fact, one of the researchers didn't even get aired. I guess I shouldn't feel so bad about being left out of the credits... at least I didn't get my whole segment cut out. ;-)
