Originally this picture was a green card. I replaced the green card in After Effects CS3 with a pre-production picture from Butterscotch. The video after the picture is the beginning of Lullaby of Birdland.
This is only an 8 second clip that ends abruptly. FYI.

Screenshots from Lullaby of Birdland, my Project 1 at USC. Â Film starred Bruce Ganes and Georgiana Young.
Screened the latest cut of Project 2, currently titled “Parting Ways.” Thinking that i may change the name soon to “Distant Lover.” Still have a lot of work to do — I haven’t finished the After Effects work and there are still some story issues that I need to iron out. I really like receiving feedback and criticism. Always nerve-racking beforehand, but afterwards I always have a lot of new ideas to work with.
Back to editing. The screenshot above is from the latest film.
What’s next: Update Project 2 and begin working on my screenplay for next semester.
Duke Magazine’s January/February issue has an article on the 25th Anniversary of the Mary Lou Williams Center. I was interviewed for this piece where I speak briefly about the documentary that I’m working on for the center.

First day of film school at USC. Just finished the Martin Luther King video for Duke University’s 2009 celebration ceremony … I’ll post a link once it’s up.
