I think that as much as I complain about being “homeless” that I should just make the decision to live with that and continue on the path that I’ve set out for myself. I need to be away from LA and the US of A for as long as possible. I need to continue doing what I set out to do and hopefully it becomes a meaningful adventure. Whether I “find myself” or find something that will continue to drive me as much as BME does, or I just find some place I like to live, it’s what I need to do.
I need to repack my bags and figure out how to adhere to the 20KG international checked baggage rules and also get a few more warmer clothes. It’s been chillier than I expected in Australia and my bones are frozen at night. I also need a good back pack that I can carry my video camera and my laptop in that will be good for carry on. I miss my pelican case and I am starting to think that would be the best option for what I need to do. Now I just have to figure out how to get it to me without having to have it shipped or go home and get it.
I also need to get over my fear of Final Cut Pro and stop relying on other people to edit my videos for me. It’s just too unreliable and my vision gets turned into what other people want to create other than what I set out to do. I wish I could go to a FCP class here in Sydney and have a go at it. I’m the type that learns well when someone can sit down and teach me. It would be awesome to be able to edit as well as the guy who did the first set of BMEtv videos for me.
That’s all the whining for tonight!
Buy a Pelican case locally, it will be cheaper than sending yours over.
Go to the Apple store and take a 1 to 1 class on FCP. I have does just this all over the world and it is great. You tell them what you want to learn and they teach you. Bring your footage and have them teach you using that. I have 1to1 and I will set it up for you if you tell me which Apple store and what date and time work for you. Bring a guy that can pretend to be me.
