Blast Off

Hey there.
It’s LA and it’s raining. A good day to reflect on top of mind kind of stuff. Career, the final LOST season, special elections... well, 2 out of 3 happy topics on a rainy day is pretty good.
Hmmm...career. I love the business I work in. Every morning I feel like a little kid, in line for Space Mountain! And I love working with enthused people. The kind that bounce off walls when they trim two frames or find the perfect song for a scene or just drink “too much” coffee.
I love mixing it up too. Cutting picture is a blast! Being an assistant is a blast! Compositing shots is a blast! Anything in post is a blast. Some people might say no, you have to do one job only, pick one. I say why, when you enjoy it all and are good at it all? Ultimately it’s about a great story, tight acting, and excellent craftsmanship. If you perform at 112% and can help tell the story that the director envisioned, then all is good with the world and you can go home at 2AM with a smile on your worn out mug!
