Happy February
Feb. 1st, 2007 11:53 amI mail-ordered Guitar Hero 2 and a second guitar controller from Amazon. They're both en route. Very nice.
Last night's host segment shoot went really well despite some weirdness with the green screen. SCAT no longer has the screen we last used - nobody knows why. They have a new one that looks handmade by some local crafty type, which is wonderful and all except none of us could figure out how to set it up right. Fortunately
taskboy3000 didn't mind standing off to one side holding the green fabric taut while I read my monologues, so I don't foresee problems keying off of it.
The DIY teleprompter worked almost perfectly; I just plugged my iPod into the TV that serves as the on-set monitor and Lee poked buttons as necessary. The only hangup came from one of the text-scroll movies, the first one I made, scrolling a little too quickly; I mistimed it by about a tenth of a second per line, and I was too lazy to redo it. Oops! I'll know better for next time.
Giving myself a month to put it together, which is just as well coz Februrary's gonna be hectic; the thon's in two weeks and then I'll be doing a spot of traveling. It'll be a great show, though, and I look forward to making good on my promise to promote it once it's done.
