Well, I stayed up all night long...still up and it is 9:30 a.m. After I post this, I will think about some sleep, although there is new snow to shovel. I am hoping I can get by without shoveling it...maybe, it will melt. In a couple of days. More is on the way supposedly today and Saturday. And yes, I took pictures and movies of it. It is just beautiful!
I didn't even get to practice yesterday and that is a must. Oh....ooops...on that one. I have been just loving it. I don't know why I waited until my hands and fingers are almost beyond playing the keyboard to get serious with the performing. But I practice and just put up with the pain. The hands are going to hurt anyway. So, up and onward.
I have been working on a Darfur video for a couple of weeks, but it was just overwhelming with so much video that I had to transfer from MODs to MOVs, trying to find it all - it's in three different locations....the photos, the different rallies, petition deliveries, lobbying meetings with Senators Jack Reed, Sheldon Whitehouse and Representative Patrick Kennedy and on and on. I think I had started 3 or 4 different iMovie projects and hoped to combine them, but that didn't really happen.
But the creative process still grows up out of all that. I ended up not using any of the MODs that I transferred to MOVs, well a little of the New Hampshire Primary Night Party in Nashua, January 8, 2008 and some of the waves at Ruggles in Newport, that are just gorgeous...I love to use the wave stuff and it fit the Bridge Over Troubled Water music theme. Another video, though, and all that work will pay off, as the videos are a little more ready to use. If I can just find them, when I need them!

INGREDIENTS OF A GENOCIDE - PERPETRATORS, UNARMED CITIZENS AND A WORLD THAT TURNS THE OTHER WAY
I know, a long title.
It is always better to double click the video and go to Youtube to view it in a bigger screen, because I don't know how to manipulate this blog's design to receive the large dimensions without putting the sidebar at the bottom of all the posts.

Facebook version - much better to view it at facebook
I have had this happen before and it happened on this video...the visual has more clarity at facebook, but facebook delays the audio by two seconds, which throws off the timing of Barack Obama's lips and the timing of certain photos showing up with the places in the song, Bridge Over Troubled Water that I coordinated it with..but no one will probably notice that last thing, except me. But when you work on it to be a certain way, it is disappointing. Especially after the computer crashed many times, as I was working on it without having saved changes that I had done. So, you have to try to duplicate what you just spent over an hour on. But, it never is the same...some things worse, some things better. Just so frustrating, just to use a single word to express minimal actual feelings when this happens.
Here is what happens everytime I google for recent news regarding Darfur...the posts are always 3 or 4 years old. Tells me that we are not getting enough reporting. Ridiculous. I get daily emails with news, so there is something being reported, but googling it never brings up fresh news. Here is a great place: while we waitsudan
He is who helped me with the video and the 4 points of what Darfuris need NOW and the Arabic translations of Darfui sayings for this video.
Thanks to Mohamed Suleiman.
