Zihuatanejo...a lotta good video

Zihuatanejo, Mexico...good weather, great beaches, cool
video. Brought the 24p dvx100 with me...it survived
the trip and customs (so far). Taped the folk dancers
in Rick´s Bar. (They´re local high school students who
do this charming regional dances in beautifully made
costumes. I shot lots of swirling colors and delicate
lace as the skirts of the girls twirled in front of me.

Later that night, I went to a late-night Mexican dance
club and taped Jose Luis...a fully modern, adult singer
with such passion and energy. A privilege to have this
video, I´ll DVD it and send it to him.

PC (Fujitsu Lifebook) with DVD burner and attached USB
hd (149 GB) is working very well. I´m editing a 3-minute
video of my nephew´s 7th birthday party, where the theme
was superheroes. I´m doing some new stuff in animation,
matting subjects in life action against animated backgrounds.
Using the bezier handles to keep the figures is slow and
interesting...rather difficult but challenge is good, right?

Back off the road all too soon. Roadette
