Falero,_Walpurgisnacht,_1878

It's APRIL 30th!

HAPPY MAY DAY EVE (May Day tomorrow May 1st/Spring Festival)!

HAPPY HITLER DEATH DAY (April 30, 1945––Suicide in his Berlin bunker)!

And...HAPPY WALPURGISNACHT To One And All!

"Walpurgisnacht In German witch lore, the greatest of the pagan festivals celebrating fertility and one of the major Sabbats observed by witches. Walpurgisnacht is the same as Beltane or may Eve and is celebrated on the night of April 30 in observance of the burgeoning spring. Walpurgisnacht became associated with Saint Walburga, a nun of Wimbourne, England, who went to Germany in 748 to found a monastery. She died at Heidenheim on February 25, 777. She was enormously popular, and cults dedicated to her quickly sprang into existence. In roman martyrology, her feast day is May 1." –– Read more here: http://occult-world.com/witch-glossary/walpurgisnacht/

MOVIE UPDATE––HUMAN NO MORE

Starring TONY SIMMONS and GABRIEL SIGAL!

So...this pic is what the first 30 minutes of the movie is

currently looking like in the Final Cut Pro timeline.

It's getting dense, but will become even denser.

Shwoooo! A 10 hour day today, plus it's been a hard two weeks of video and audio cleaning, sound-FX editing, and dialogue editing––with match and replacement of words, or complete lines, from alternate takes to resolve undesired noise issues. So...

That's 488 cuts being tweaked, for 244 pieces of video and 120 pieces of audio (meaning dialogue, not sound-FX or other), which are being dealt with for this long 15 minute sequence.

Basic sound beds for ambience are in place, but more Foley audio is needed and sound FX too. Also all audio levels and EQing still has to be completed and then mixed. After that the color-grading for all 244 pieces of video has to roughed out and finessed. Long story short: there is still much to do before the current sequence is presentable for viewing by producer MATTHEW SANDERSON, and actors TONY SIMMONS, GABRIEL SIGAL, and JOHN LEWIS.

Hopefully in another week.

HAPPY EASTER To One & All!

And whether or not you believe in the BUNNY, GOD (brand of choice), or simply NOTHING at all––go get a CHOCOLATE EGG or RABBIT, you won't be disappointed.

Celebrate something other than hate and killing for a day or two. Couldn't hurt. And there's always Monday to get back to it all (the loathing & finger-pointing will be waiting).

HAPPY GOOD FRIDAY Everyone!

Hmmmm...

It's so lovely to wake up on this Friday and realize (for myself, countless times over) that E.A. POE was right once again, and likely always will be. The obstructionists and the obscurantists and the greedy witch-hunters will always reign supreme in this world of blind eyes to common sense. Now also the gurus and dominators of the 'me, me, me, I want everything free generation'.

To hell with the human race, I say. HAPPY GOOD FRIDAY, humans in press and punditry and puerile know-all pageantry, forever spinning your webs to diminish the good that is done by constantly cocooning it, and calling it the work of the Devil. And calling it the Devil's work louder than your own demonstrable diabolism. There is no breath of fresh air. There will be no relief. Those most guilty and most wicked will always point their fingers quickest at "the other guy", through the windows of their own glass houses.––CAB

MOVIE UPDATE––HUMAN NO MORE

(The Feature Film)

Starring TONY SIMMONS and GABRIEL SIGAL!

So...the HUMAN NO MORE feature film...still plugging away just about every morning. And, as of this last Friday the 12th, I've again reached another mile mark.

After many weeks I've called a primary lock of the picture edit for the first long interactive sequence for the actors. Quite a challenging sequence, not only because of the length (a stretch of 15 minutes), but because it relies heavily on quite a lot of camera coverage and difficult dialogue.

But at last the sequence is good enough to move forward with the initial video & audio cleaning and processing, as well as basic color-grading.

In other words, I will now make the latest section presentable for viewing by producer Matthew Sanderson and actors Tony Simmons, Gabriel Sigal, Rick Wildridge, and John Lewis. This puts me just over 29 minutes into the movie––which also includes the intercutting of the 'Wormwood' aperitif (relative poster and graphic posted below).

Still much to do though!
