About Me

The proggrl is a video producer with k2video and currently creating on-line training material for a financial firm. I'm Final Cut Pro certified and am looking to get certified with DVD Studio Pro, at which time I will need to update my FCP certification. I'm also working on writing 2 scripts. One is a love story based on a classic tale and the other is more of a character development story. One of which I'm hoping will be done for next year's Sundance. Boring stuff, I know, but it keeps me out of trouble. *Liar!* OK, I still find time for trouble, but that's another story completely! :)

Also hugely into music, mostly listening but also playing from time to time. Playing include vocals, bass and guitar. Not in a band, but I do like jamming once in a while.

Echolyn and where to start.

I guess I'm a bit of a fan girl when it comes to echolyn.  To me, they are one of the most honest, refreshing bands I've ever heard.  They found and taken everything I love in music and comp...

Cameraside Manner

When dealing with non-talent clients there's always been a rule in my book: Make them as relaxed as possible.  A video or film set up can be very intimidating.  Often times there are hot lig...
