This was an exciting week of development for the series because a bunch of new ideas popped into my head making the series greater than it already is.

Week 625: Audio, The Beast

Weekly Written Review

Working on my new series I thought color correcting was going to be my heaviest task but I take that back and give audio the crown. I'm still learning hard lessons about capturing clean audio.

Week 623: A Return to Form

Weekly Written Review 

I returned to LA and tennis all in one week. Awesome sauce. As for the face-to-face drama between my father and I... He asked... if something happens, will I help him? This evolves his money. I said no and he didn't like that. He asked what was wrong with me and told me I have a problem. I responded by placing my forehead on his and I intensely told him the truth about himself and the pain he caused. The action made my voice a little coarse for a few days. My father is an impossible man that won't change. In the aftermath, I've concluded that I won't abandon him but unfortunately, hope is not a factor. 

Leading to this we had a few okay moments together. I bring him food, my laptop, and my soul music DVDs. He appreciates that. The thought crossed my mind to take a photo with him but I'm not going to do that. I will record footage of myself for an upcoming documentary but a candid photo could indicate happiness but none is in sight. I'm content with the last family photo taken in June 2021.

It was embarrassing but oh well. I didn't score. The run didn't feel too bad on my body but that's probably because the court is short.

Week 615: The Era of Spoke

Weekly Written Review

I recently realized, I created a handful of documentaries over the years. A few are about my endeavors but I was never actually an interviewee. That changed this weekend. Then again, the recording is more like the oncamera narorror presence in some sections of the series. Nonetheless, I recorded myself on speaking camera for a documentary for the first time. There are certainly more like this on the way.

Week 613: Nothing Wrong with a Reshoot

Weekly Written Review 

Tuesday's shoot was a success but I woke up with one of the scenes permeating my mind. Something was missing. Then I realized I didn't have enough fun shooting it. A very specific song inspired the scene and I should've played it during the shoot. Thankfully, I currently live where that scene was shot and all I had to do was put back on my suit and set up the camera. I had a little assistance of course. 

There was another scene I thought I had to shoot over but a second opinion didn't see anything wrong with it. I was getting ready to shoot it over but ended up being happy with the scene have I applied a slow-motion effect.

Week 611: Vision of Health

Weekly Written Review 

So I went to the eye doctor for the first time ever this week. I received a full exam. Retna test and all. My eyes are healthy but to my surprise, I was prescribed glasses. I never ever wore glasses before. I did have trouble seeing the last line of letters during the test but they were extra small. This is nothing alarming. According to the doctor, everyone needs glasses at a certain point in life. Plus, she's a doctor, that's what she's trained to do, prescribe stuff, not cure. I don't need glasses but I'll have glasses as an option if I want to use them. 

She noticed sunburn in my eyes. It's not as bad as it sounds this has prompted me to start wearing sun shades. I play a lot of tennis and I walk a lot. I got sunglasses the next day and they're nice. I should've started wearing shades a long time ago. I always wore a visor but it apparently wasn't enough. 

All in all, this may be the season of health. I've been to the dentist and the eye doctor so far this year. I'm considering going for a physical checkup in the fall. The last time I had a physical was for a reality show probably around 2011. Before that, it was probably for trying out for a basketball team in high school. Cheers to the year of health checks.

Week 610: Blue Light Battles

Weekly Written Review 

I don't go for annual health checkups. I've rarely seen medical professionals throughout my life but if something seems off I hesitate. My eyes are generally fine but, I have noticed certain words on the TV screen are a little blurred. I'm not sure if I recently strained my eyes or not but since I've never been to the eye doctor before and I have health insurance I scheduled a visit. Read week 611 for appointment results. Thus, after talking to At... this week, I concluded that I will start wearing blue light glasses. Considering that blue light isn't good and I'm spending a lot more time on the computer editing, it's a wise choice. 

Rough draft editing began this week for AOH.

Week 608: The End of the Garage

Weekly Written Review 

After ten years I officially said goodbye to my garage. The city made a surprise inspection and informed my landlady to remove all tenants. This happened in 2017 and it was a false alarm. I later returned. This time is also a false alarm but enough is enough. I found the choices of my landlady to be inconsiderate and disrespectful but at some point, all good things must come to an end. It was a good run. That chapter of my life is now behind. A new chapter awaits.

Week 604: Kitchen Pimping

 Weekly Written Review 

This week I arrived at a house in South Florida for the very first time to record several interviews. It's the home of a college friend. I'm grateful for the connection but I was not ready for what was on the inside. It's a nice home but it's not the most flattering environment for a documentary setup. There was a lot of clutter. My friend uses his home as more of a storage room and a place to sleep. After thorough evaluation, the kitchen was the best spot so I pimped it out. I interviewed 8 people using 8 different angles. I made it work.

Week 602: Historical Fight for Existence

Weekly Written Review 

This weekend I returned to Tallahassee for the first time since 2006. Coincidentally, The Haitian Cultural Club had a few events going on and I was able to speak briefly at their banquet. Moments after, I had an epiphany. Without this documentary, my legacy does not exist. All they know is that HCC is 34 years old. This HCC generation will forever live on Instagram and Tik Tok. My generation didn't have that luxury. My administration was too great not to exist. This documentary is imperative for our historical survival. With each interview, I will fight for existence.

Week 601: She Ugly

Weekly Written Review 

When a person makes fun of my appearance (hairstyle and goatee), creates issues over their mother and sister treating me nice, plus shows no appreciation for my work ethic. That's just ugly. I spent four days around a very ugly person who is getting uglier every day. Frankly, she needs intervention. I believe her awards and medals are causing head swelling. Albeit, if it wasn't for the kindness of her family, I would've tossed the project. I justified continuing because I know that the documentary is bigger than me. It's bigger than her. The potential impact is motivation. Hanging around all that negative energy was the challenge. A person might argue that it's never a cordial situation around an ex-girlfriend. Touché but I'm producing a documentary with a strong focus on this person's family. It doesn't make sense to disrespect the artist thus, this person doesn't respect creativity, to begin with. Furthermore, this person never did like me, to begin with. She likes new experiences and attention. Some people never change and they get worse. Reference: Week 501: I'm Your Pusher Man I left deciding that I never want to communicate with that person ever again.

I have archive tapes that took up a lot of space over the years. It cost me thousands of dollars to maintain multiple storage units.

Week 599: Hi-8 It works

Weekly Written Review

Since the holiday break, I struggled to get an old Hi-8 camcorder working. I even bought a camera at Shopgoodwill on February 4th. That was a waste of time and money because it didn't come with a power cord. Thankfully, my request for a refund was granted. Shipping not included. Nonetheless, during the debacle, I realized I didn't try connecting my camera to my computer. via firewire. I waited until this week and it worked. I had to get creative cleaning the camera head but overall a great success.

Week 597: Comes with the territory

Weekly Written Review 

I hit a low this week due to a lack of communication from needed participants. It's a blow when you're not getting the back and forth required. The only fix is communication. Thankfully it got better as the days proceeded. Organizing people ain't for everybody. It takes an uncanny amount of patience. As familiar as I am with how humans react, I'll never get used to it. Albeit, it's the territory of it all.
