NOT A PROMISING WEATHER OUTLOOK FOR HAMPSHIRE

The weather looks to be set against us for the filming side of what is after all mainly a family visit but no doubt I'll get a few shots done somewhere along the line. We will set off early tomorrow as intended and I'm thinking of covering Bournemouth at a minimum as I can easily tuck myself away at the pinch point on the main road where buses are single file, it worked for me last year in rain perhaps it will deliver with wind reduction. Fingers crossed for that then.

I managed to get all my recent cine scans filed away both on the external drive for PMP and that for OTA, shame it can't do the two together, perhaps it can but beyond my IT knowledge. It takes a few hours as moving image MPEG4 files take up a lot of storage space. I've also been getting myself refreshed for the second part of my editing suite/showroom - now its coming towards autumn I'm getting a cutting list ready for the timber merchant, it will give me something to be concentrating on days when filming isn't possible. I've got my remainder of the year film destinations sketched out already.

I've had to order up another scanning machine, I think that will be actually the fourth or maybe fifth I've had, a couple were exchanged. They are just too delicately engineered to deal with yesteryears  non digital mechanics. Thankfully we had quite a lot sitting in Paypal that has covered it, the prices have soared over the past few months reflecting the shortage in supply. Tickles me how government get inflation at 1% when many things aren't even available. We are still waiting for a date for fixing our new house fascia boards. Most of the population seem to be on extended holidays  or just hanging around, the kids have had month after month annoying everyone themselves included.

It has been a quiet evening for DVD orders which is just as well, Amazon shop on holiday setting, EBay on out of office and our own shop well its always there ready for you. Any orders sent now will go out next Tuesday. Looking at Hampshire  and Dorset then for past visits and fingers crossed!
