Personal project update–The Legend of Milton Blocker
1 GB of ram makes all the difference.
I’ve been suffering through editing on my dad’s computer for the last few projects. His computer has 384 MB of ram. It makes me want to hurt small fluffy animals waiting for the computer to do…well anything. I was reading a blog the other day that said if your computer has less than 512MB of ram it has Alzheimer’s disease. I agree with this idea wholeheartedly.
My local library now has laptops you can checkout for two hours. I’m so happy I could die. The laptops have a 1GB of ram and a firewire port. What used to take me an hour to save on my dad’s computer now take 3 minutes. I could faint and die it’s so awesome. I had been very upset and worried thinking that taking the files in as AVI would make them near impossible to save in the two hour time limit. But this thing, zip zam flam. It should be possible to get all I need done within a few sessions. Milton, now called The Legend of Milton Blocker, should be pieced together by Sunday. It’s looking pretty decent.
I am also happy with the actors we got for this. They were all wonderful. Best talent I’ve worked with in my life…not that I’ve been working with loads of talent.
BTW, if you live in the Memphis area, the li’l film fest screens March 21st at 2pm at the Brook Museum of Art.
