I would never want to be a professional video editor

I am getting tired of editing the MMA fight DVD. I have been at it for the past month and I had enough now. Anyway the DVD is finished. But you know what? It's never finished. There is always something that I can do better. That's it, it's finished. I am not going to tweak it more. I have seen these fights so many times that I believe that I have found a way to beat all the fighters there ( In reallity I would still get my ass kicked seriously).


So Tomorrow I am going to the race track. In addition of racing my bike on it, I will shoot a video of the other guys racing on it. 


I love to edit simple racing videos. So THAT IS WHAT WILL DO.

The MMA event is done.

We had a great day shooting the mma event. We were very tired afterwords. We got there at 11am and left at 11pm.

I will come back with more details, but for now you can go to my website to see some pictures of the event taken  by Gareth.

Getting ready for Saturday

It's coming fast.
We are ready to go and shoot the mma event in Taipei this Saturday.

It's been a lot of work in pre-production and will be a lot more after the event to do the editing ( 100 hours).

We are not getting paid for it and people asked me " Why are you doing this?" I do it for fun.

You see, I have always been curious about TV and how it's done. Here I have the chance to try it. It's not everyday that an opportunity like this comes.

Actually all my team is doing it for the same reason, a life experience ( we are 8 in the team.). Thanks to Taiwan to make these kind of opportunities possible.

So here we are, going to shoot a movie for the fun of it.   I hope that when it is ready you will take the time to watch it.

PS: The movie is free and we do not accept nor do we expect any money from it what so ever. Maybe just some comments.

Here are some bloopers that happened in the pre-fights interviews.
Edit: It seems that my blog will not allow me to post video at this present time. So go to the www.itsavideotv.com to see it.

Special request

Special request to anyone that reads me.

I am in the middle of a change of career and I need your help to promote my new website by linking it on your blogs and websites.

HERE IS THE LINK  link

I am going to shoot shoot a MMA ( mixed martial art) competition this month. I have a lot of money invested and riding on it.

I would apreciate any help (short of sending me money) to make this a success.

If you have a space on your websites for me and can help me spead the word,,,, it would be greatly apreciated (it would save me from ruins) Ha ha ha ( not funny).

I got one sponsor in with me but that is not enough. I am going in with 4 cameras, 2 hosts and a crew of 8 people. We have access to the training room and the whole event with media acreditation.  

This project is serious.

This thing might help me get on TV as a producer/editor.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Here is my demo that I did without a budget with one camera.( with the help of Jorge).

280 kph winds (Super Typhoon)

We are getting hit hard. The wind is gusting at 280kph. Things are flying everywhere. The windows are shaking. The electricity is going and coming back without warning.

 I spent the day cooking food in case we loose gas and electricity. We will loose water for sure as we do in every Typhoon. 

 My wife is getting nevous since this is the biggest Typhoon in that last 8 to 21 years. That is why it's called a ""Super Typhoon"". 

 Lets play a game. Where is Taiwan????

Typhoon time (The largest one in years)

It's that time again but this time, it is the largest in years. Just take a look at the eye in the middle of the picture. "Jangmi" is still 2 days away and already we are getting hit with winds of over 100kph.

Going to put the car inside the house garage next to the bike after going to buy food for the event. I cleaned the BBQ deck and secured things outside.

I don't think that it will be possible to go outside in this one.

Now watch this picture and look at the size of Taiwan compared to the Typhoon.
