The Myth of Preparation

Posted on September 13, 2010 by hydle

“if you’re not in the habit of being an expert, it’s unlikely your current mode of operation is going to change that any time soon.

Go, give a speech. Go, start a blog. Go, ship that thing that you’ve been hiding. Begin, begin, begin and then improve. Being a novice is way overrated.”

Josh Berman on Level 1 Eye Trip Premier

Posted on September 10, 2010 by hydle

Taken from Skinet’s five question interview with Josh Berman…

“What is your last thought as the lights go out to begin a world premier of one of your movies?

I hope the computer doesn’t crash in the middle of the screening.”

I would have to agree with Josh – since this is going to be one of my computers and I will be quicktime command-f’ing it to the projector. This will be another hugely successful fun time tonight in Denver. See you there.

Todays Inspiration

Advice to the smaller shop owners in this tough economic climate?
There will be a lot of pressure to sell on price. There will be a lot of pressure to do work on spec, or jump through ridiculous hoops. There will be a lot of pressure to think that the bad client in the hand is better than the great client in the bush. But there are only 3 reasons to have a client – great work, lots of money, great fun. Ideally your client provides you with all three. But if they’re not providing you with any of those things, they’re not a client. They’re a black hole. And that’s true in any economy.

New iPods + iTunes + Apple TVs + Coldplay

Posted on September 2, 2010 by hydle

Apple just announced an entirely new iPod lineup, iTunes 10 and a little black box known as a new Apple TV.

Although I personally prefer my original 5GB scroll wheel iPod – It looks like another holiday season is is going to be stuffed with Apple in our stockings.
