Guess that laughter means he turned 60!

I am just asking Justin, but would it be possible to view your DV footage via Windows Media player?

Not bad. I really liked the editing from 00:43 to around 2:00. What kind of camera did you use?

Thanks Justin. It is even more fun to see it now with a few months passing. That was a fun day and night!
I love the music you chose and such a fun day in the life of....
Message to Joao - Howard is 57. Can't remember why Mamie asked if he was 60 and why we all thought that was so funny!

Judy - I'm glad you enjoy it! It was great fun to be there, and great fun to make this little video.

Taylor - I don't know about Windows Media Player - I think these videos are only viewable in Quicktime. Sorry about that!

Mike - I used a Sony PC101 DV cam for this project.

I'm not sure why Mamie had the date wrong, but it was funny somehow!

Hey, Justin.
Your piece is warm and sweet and fun. I love the bit of the two of you stretching. I found that one to be the most effective sequence along with Howard's picking (then eating!) fruit from the garden. I wanted to see more visiting Mama.
As always, I admire your rush forward. Best of luck in film school.

Ah Thanks Juday! Not that his age really matters, his spirit is quite young and jovial. Hope I behave the same at that age, like my father who is also 57. Wierd to say, but I finally see and FEEL the enjoyment in growing older, even if I am only 25.

Really enjoyed the video and inspires me to someday edit all the boring video I have shot and compress it down to a "videoblog bite".

Look forward to many more Justin!

Mr. Hall,

re: digital video production

As Harry Marks likes to point out, you can fit into your pocket a broadcast-quality video camera that exceeds the image quality of studio cameras of yesteryear.

Where digital video production usually falls flat, however, is in the sound capture. The on-board microphones of the standard miniDV cameras should be avoided if possible.

If compatible with your setup, I would strongly suggest that you siphon off some of your house redecorating budget and buy these two pieces of equipment which will take your movies to another quality level immediately:

Azden WLX-PRO (wireless lavalier)

Azden SGM-X (shotgun)

Or if the cinema department has them, or something like them, to check out, I urge you to experiment with alternative microphones.

Later,

Well done, young man, well done. Thank Gopod for Howard and his mind.

You shoot a great story Justin. I've enjoyed watching your past three flicks: The Birthday Mural, The Toilet Monologue - and now, as Shelly aptly describes it -- this warm piece. Poignant -- the painting - with the quick dip and focus...Howard seems like a wonderful slice of life. Keep it up -- I'll keep watchin.
