Movie Making, Movie Receiving

Well, I never thought it would be so materially advantageous to keep a blog or (attempt to) channel Anna Karina. However, a very generous stranger has sent to me a wonderful gift of a DVD of Jean-Luc Godard's Breathless. I am sure you cannot imagine my surprise. Me? I am all smiles. I have since sent a thank you note to this generous person's myspace which was supplied to me in the gift message on the packing slip.

Today I got on a kick of movie making. I have never really done any before and I decided today that I would like to make one. So I made the one in the post below. My digital camera did record video at one time, but that camera is dying and I will have to get a new one soon, preferably a decent video camera. For this movie I just used my built-in iSight camera on my MacBook and the very basic iMovie HD software. It's a film short summarizing my trip to Argentina. Let me know what you think about it. I had a lot of fun making it. It's a cute little movie, I think.

Today's been a great day. I hope it has been for you, too.
