I had my meeting with the Dean. I don't think it could have gone better. "I'd like to take the footage that didn't make it into the documentary and turn it into podcasts." "You know, I'm feeling in a real experimental mood. The school is trying to do all sorts of new...

3 O’Clock Meeting with the Dean
I've got a meeting with the Dean of the Film School today. It's nothing bad, I scheduled this meeting. When I went to Steelcase for my documentary, I got a two hour tour that covered a lot of interesting office design topics. About a minute ended up in the final cut...
Post Editing Thoughts
It's been about a week since I've locked picture with Cubicles. I meant to post this sooner, but producing has kept me pretty occupied. Below are two things I discovered during the editing process that I will definitely keep in mind in the future. Know what your...
Coffee, Time, and Snacks
Cubicles is locked, taken away from me, abandoned - however you want to put it, it's done. During the two week editing process I kept track of how long I spent at The Film School and what kept me awake/full during that time. Here's how that went: 3 Cups of Coffee 2...
I Think I’m Done Editing
Well, I will be by 10 am tomorrow as that's when the teacher comes in to lock picture. But when you have your own schedule, it's hard to finally say, "this is it, the film is done." Each time I watch Cubicles I find something to tweak or adjust. I'll be glad to have...
19 Hours at the Film School

Contacting Google
Yesterday I decided to call Google to try to speak to their Public Relations department to see if they had some images of the Googleplex that I could use in the documentary. Surprisingly I got the typical automated machine runaround, but after punching in a few...
“There is No Rough Cut…”
"...always present your best cut." That was probably one of the more useful pieces of advice I got from Editing Professor Bill after I screened the first cut of Cubicles yesterday to him and Editing Professor Sandro. I felt the screening went pretty well. As always...
Get Your Office Space in a Documentary
During a futile attempt to contact the publisher of Office Space Planning, it hit me that I have a blog with readers (many thanks to FreshDV), so referring back to the previous post, I'm on a quest for B-roll. I've got plenty of pre-cubicle footage, but now I need...
