I'm not a wizard when it comes to editing or, in this case PluralEyes. At least, not yet. However, I was recently in need of syncing 2 cameras w/audio and a separate audio-only recording and ideally, I wanted 1 beautiful multiclip in my possession when it was all said and done. But how?

What is PluralEyes?

First of all, if you haven't heard of Singular Software's PluralEyes, you need to get on that, man. For real. In a nutshell, PluralEyes (PE) takes multiple sources of cameras and audio and syncs them together like magic. Each camera source should have audio, even if it's shitty, on-board audio so that PE can work it's magic as I believe it does so by comparing the audio from each source.

i taught my very first harold class this week and it was much easier than i thought it would be AND it was a lot of fun. i made sure to stretch what i call the "gayball" muscles. those are the muscles that allow you to silently interpret through dance and movement a wide range of songs from jewel's "foolish games" to joe dassin's "l'amerique". it was a lot of fun to watch everyone get into it and submit themselves to the silliness of it. i think that's my favorite part about improv. that for 20 to 30 minutes a group of people commit to each other's ideas and submit to the silliness.

hello, out there. i haven't posted in forever. i recently changed my blog's theme thinking it would inspire me to write more, it didn't. however, i just realized i actually have something to post about: the commercial i shot for this year's crash the superbowl competition hosted by doritos!

i recently shot some video with my XL2 (shooting at 60i - 16:9) with the stock 20x lens. i was never able to get the export right for the web. it would always look too blurry or not smooth enough, but i think i have finally found something that works pretty well.

Just recently got into the band Love because of the song Alone Again Or from their Forever Changes album. It was in the movie Bottle Rocket, definitely one of my favorite movies of all-time. No joke. It was used in such a cool way too; the action on the screen so perfectly matched the tone and movement of the song. Great stuff!

finally! prop 8 passed in california! it puts a ban on gay marriage in the state of california. that means that is no longer legal in the state of california for gay couples to be legally wed and enjoy the same benefits that heterosexual couples enjoy. things like tax cuts and being able to see a loved one if they were hurt in hospital. we can continue to force our morals onto others who may not wish to live their life under the rules we govern ourselves, this is great!

i suppose you've heard murmurs of the truth lingering about. yes, today i got into a fender bender while i was trying to find a parking spot this morning. i was behind a lousy-looking, black geo kind of car. i noticed several parked cars ahead that a car was reversing, those big white lights are a dead give-away. i assumed this tart would try to get that space even though it wasn't much to write home about. he did. he did so with great fervor too.

i have an air freshener for my room. it sits on top of some papers on the top level of my three-tiered inbox type thing. while i sit here i can smell it. if i look to my right the smell is gone. it literally does nothing to enhance the scent of my room. it doesn't fight odor, i don't even think it's got the power to call odor names or make fun of its mom. what's more is that even being some two and half feet away it's giving me a headache. sure it smells pleasant, but it's a lukewarm pleasant because it's giving me a headache which isn't fully awesome.

the new weezer album is great. specifically the greatest man that ever lived and pork & beans. the latter is such a jump up and scream at the top of your lungs kind of song. i'm at work and all i want to is sing it out loud.

also, happy birthday me! i did it!

i literally have nothing to say. it's not that i couldn't come up with something, i could, but at this point in time there is not a lot to talk about. sure, i could think of something to talk about, but then this would mean something. given the title i've chosen i can't very well write something meaningful right now. well, i could, but i shouldn't.
