Been busy at Frogg1 Productions working on our feature film Gradation with Premiere Pro, Adobe Audition and Adobe After Effects.  Things are moving along and the film is currently running at just under two hours.  I have some more cutting to do and sound adjustments.  Looking forward to our Producer and star Lynne Newton coming out here to view the current version in a couple of weeks.  At this point, I need another set of eyes to help cut the film.

The movie trailer is currently an extended version, but will be cut down for distribution purposes.

Praying for the people and all of the rescue workers affected by this disaster!

The pizzas turned out great.  The best we've ever made at home on the stone!  

We had a great time visiting family in LA last night.  Good food, ambiance & seeing family we hadn't seen in awhile.  The drive there was fast but we had a dead battery and then got stuck on the 10 freeway in traffic for an hour due to a nasty accident (never saw what happened) on the way home.  Making homemade pizza on the stone tonight.  Pics to follow.  Feels great to be back in Palm Springs!

So I've been slowly navigating from Social Media to my website so I haven't left the country!  Gradation is still in post production and is coming along at a little under two hours.  There are a few shoot dates left to tie things together as well as tweaking the film.  In addition, I still have to try and cut it down a little more but that does not mean cutting scenes.  Moreover, I will be experimenting with Voice Overs to see if that would translate to the audience in a good way.  I would say I am eighty percent finished with the film, but quality takes time and the last twenty percent needs to be up to my standards.

Thanks again for stopping by!

Wow, our ac compressor went out and we were without air downstairs for a week.  At least we had the Casita and a portable unit from The General downstairs.  Now I'm back editing Gradation.  I've added music, special effects and may have to add voice overs to some scenes where the sound isn't up to par.  
Or unless I decide to do ADR.

Won't be on Facebook much anymore so check back here for updates!
