The Guild BTS

After hanging lights, I finished my first behind the scenes piece for the DVD of the second season of The Guild. This first piece is the only piece that will play on MS Video after they air the fourth episode. I think it turned out pretty good and both Felicia (creator) and Kim (producer) enjoyed it, which is what is important. I brought the hard drive with the quicktime of the piece over to Felicia's. We chatted for about 15 minutes and then I was on my way home to try and enjoy the last remaining few hours of my long weekend. All in all a very fun and Christmasy extended weekend.

Christmas Lights

On my last day of my four-day weekend I was able to put up our Christmas lights on our house. I got up early around 8am and started to sort through the stands of lights. I was amazed at how many of the strands were half-out and unusable. Luckily we bought some a few days after Christmas last year so I had some back up lights. So I climbed onto the roof and started to hang lights. Last year I wanted to write Merry Christmas on the roof but didn't have enough lights but this year I had plenty. I am happy with the results and I think I'm going to add a few more lights to the garage and front door area but for the most part it's very Christmasy at our place.

Would you walk on this ?

Glass Bridge will be suspended 4,000 feet above the Colorado River on the very edge of the Grand Canyon .

On May 2005, the final test was conducted and the structure passed engineering requirements by 400 percent, enabling it to withstand the weight of 71 fully loaded Boeing 747 airplanes (more that 71 million pounds).

The bridge will be able to sustain winds in excess of 100 miles per hour from 8 different directions, as well as an 8.0 magnitude earthquake within 50 miles.

More than one million pounds of steel will go into the construction of the Grand Canyon SkyWalk.

Christmas Shopping

Today Harry and I finally were able to get out and start our Christmas shopping. Well we really started a few weeks ago but only online buying. Today we actually went out to the stores and man were they busy. So many people and a ton of traffic... I think we lasted about four hours before Harry and I looked at each other and said "we are done". Both of us don't like crowds and there were some big crowds. But we did manage to get a bunch of stuff. This year is going to be a lighter year but we enjoy giving and will give what we can... tomorrow I'm putting up Christmas lights.

Christmas Decorating

Well as tradition with me it's the day after Thanksgiving so now I have permission to decorate my house. Today I did the living room and dining room. This is my favorite time of the year and I love putting up as much stuff as I can. Next up are the lights on the house.

Thanksgiving

Today Harry and I went to my Mom's for Thanksgiving. Along with my brother and sister-in-law, grandmother and step dad's sister and boyfriend. Traffic was horrible and it took us nearly 2 hours to get down to Newport Beach. But once there is was a good day and an excellent Turkey dinner.

More Guildie Goodness

Today is the premiere of the Second Season of The Guild.

This season is sponsored by MSN, Sprint and XBox Live. You can watch all of season one (about 40 minutes) and the first episode of season two here.

I have been doing alot of behind the scenes videotaping (as you know if you read my blog on a regular bases) and I'm very proud of being part of The Guild family. Of course most of my work won't be seen until the Season Two DVD comes out but I do have a few things that might be released before hand. I am also taking all the still photos of the BTS and those are starting to show up on the main website www.watchtheguild.com.

Please support this great webseries, Felicia Day (creator/writer/actress) is the sweetest person you can ever met and deserves all the success she gets.

Rock on Guildies!!!!!

3rd Pass on BTS The Guild

Today I was able to cut in the opening credits and tweak some of the audio for my BTS The Guild piece. It looks great, going to send it one more time to Felicia and Kim just in case they want to make any changes. Then on this coming Friday I'll uprez it and output it.. Once BTS piece down.. many more to go. They are so much fun to work on I can't wait to see what else I can come up with.

More DVD Screeners

Over the past few days I have gotten a few more DVD screeners. Of note I got Wall-E and Kung Fu Panda, both we saw in the theater but really enjoyed them. We actually watched Wall-E on Sunday... but today I got The Dark Knight, which is awesome since I haven't been able to get to the movies to see this one. So I'm very excited to sit down this weekend and check it out. I love getting these screeners as this past year I have been so busy and we haven't had many chances to get to the movies so I love getting movies I haven't seen yet.. let's hope I get many more.

Ever seen Lovely Balloons

Rest and Notes

Today I pretty much rested. I still wasn't felling 100% and I had done some running around and really shouldn't have. I had planned to do some Christmas shopping and get out all our Christmas decorations but once I was on the couch it was hard to get off.

I did get an email from Felicia saying how much she loved my BTS piece and had only one note about adding the show's opening credits to the beginning. Whoo hooo.

2nd Pass on the BTS The Guild

Today I was finally able to work on the notes that Felicia and Kim gave me and cut in the directors interview as well. After a few hours I am very pleased with the results. I can't really talk about what it is as it's all very top secret but I do know it's a companion piece for Episode 4 of season two.. it will also be an extra on the Season two DVD. Now I get to send it off to Felicia and Kim for final notes.

Picture is of Sean (Director), Me, and Jared (Gaffer) looking tough... well trying to anyways.

TOP 10 Bad Ass Grandmas

Grandmas are usually defined by their sweetness, frailty and willingness to give us free Werther’s Originals candy. But not all grannies…these are the TOP 10 Bad Ass Grandmas
Not a fan of the Gators, but I’m a fan of this granny.
Might not be my thing, but good for you granny
Leader of the revolution. Bring it bitches
Glaucoma my ass, this granny just wants to get her smoke on. Puff, puff, pass grandma!
In mother Russia, grandma don’t mess around.
It doesn’t matter the age, you never know when you’ve had too much.
This is a gang of grannies you do not cross. Though it does look more like a gang of grandpas in drag.
While I do not support terrorism, I do support grandmothers wielding rocket launchers. That is hardcore.
Conan ain’t got nuthin’ on this granny. When you’re a hundred, let’s see you swing around a broadsword equaling your body weight.
You can take this grandma’s gun when you tear it from her cold, dead hands. Which may be sooner than later. But until then, I’d keep your distance because that is a granny with an AK.
