I've given this a lot of thought and it looks like the DIS Meets 2004 video will be the last one that I do, if I can finish it at all. There's been a few things that have led me to this decision.
The DIS Meets 2003 video was shown at Towncrier's Memorial Day picnic. In all the posts I've read about the meet, I only saw a brief picture of the video. I didn't hear anyone mention that they saw it or even liked it. It bothered me a bit, but in the end, I got over it because I don't need my ego stroked like that.
I'm starting to get some paying video editing gigs and I have to start dropping some things because I'm running out of time. I would have made time for the DIS Meets video, but I think the last thing I will mention really changed my mind.
The final decision not to continue with the DIS Meets video project is that it has been extraordinarily difficult to obtain video and pictures from people. I have to ask the same people again and again to send me video or pictures and I still haven't gotten them. I made a promise to myself that if I didn't see any videos or pictures in my mailbox by today that I would decide not to continue with the project. All I found were bills and junk mail in my mailbox today. Chasing people around like this and begging people for material has really sucked the fun out of doing the project. I'll probably end up pulling photos off the board, but downloading hi-res photos from the DIS on a dialup connection is quite painful, believe me.
I hate to not continue with this project. I thought that people would be dying to get their photos and video into the project based on the response that I've gotten. I guess I was mistaken.
I do want to thank everyone who has supported my video projects in the past. I very much appreciate all your assistance, contributions, and support. I wish things didn't have to end like this.
So we will no longer see critters on my head, Ghostbusters shaking their money makers, or people tasting Beverly.
