File Conversions Done!

So I finally found all older MTS files (one batch I hadn't saved to disc and was stashed on my computers internal drive). Wow- this was alot of work! It wouldn't have been a such a big deal, but I realized AFTER I had converted all the Canon HF-G10 .mts files to .mov files  that I had to re-do everything with the Brorsoft MTS conversion program. As I was editing a friends wedding video, I noticed occasion frame duplication, meaning I done a proper 30 fps to 24fps conversion. Better then than after I was halfway through editing Rats & Gassers! Now everything works and looks perfect and I can finally dig in. 

The Fast & The Furious (1954) (DVD)

Just got Roger Corman's The Fast & The Furious DVD in the PO Box today. Watched it immediately. Interesting premise- a truck driver is accused of killing another truck driver. On the run, the accused driver kidnaps a gal and her topless Jaguar, enters a road race to Mexico and...well I don't want to spoil the ending. Typical 1950's B-Movie cinematography and action scenes. In other words- I dug it! Except for the music. It was really dissonant and noisy and didn't fit the film at all. Besides starring in the film John Ireland was also one of the directors.

I also started writing verses for Shut Down, a tune that will be featured in Rat Rod Rockers!
