Diesel makes it a little tougher. Diesel stations are everywhere until you really NEED one…

Plus, I try to edit these videos on the road as we go. There’s a pretty short lag time between the time this stuff happens, and the time we post it. It’s all quite a creative challenge. On that point, I suspect most people have no idea how tough it is to make a good video, much less to do it solo. I enjoy the process, but have learned a lot over the years, and am still learning today.

With regard to MM, where is he on the road? Where is the locator you mention? We would love to hook up with him and say hello (and a little blog video wouldn’t hurt either! ).

Just remember the ones who got you their…. such as the other nets.

Remember each presentation is a three part structure or paragon

Almost every great movie is set up in what’s called “three act structure” – basically, these are parameters representing the natural progress of a story

The typical screenplay has a first act where the character and his universe are established, second act where the character fights his obstacles trying to reach that goal, and a minute final act where the final conflict is faced and the character achieves (or in some cases doesn’t achieve) his goal which you had with seemores’ fuel issue. the point is, you don’t want to spend half your screen time “setting up” then five minutes fighting obstacles then twice as long wrapping things up.

action rises in a story until it hits it’s boiling point (or denouement, if you want to get fancy) then the action falls and the story resolves. That’s the track you want to travel in your screenplay. No one wants to see the same guy run into the same tree the same way over and over again. We want action that rises and moves towards some big moment. You will want to structure your screenplay with dramatic arc in mind: every conflict should be more significant than the one before it.

That being said…. we see in this trailer that you are traveling to points of interest.. kiss and all… grin… but then the focus shifts to the vehicle and low fuel… and the resolution of it. (use relistic distances for the tech minded nay sayers… and sneak in dogging the bullet) Good …but again read about how much time should be used to set up the story. What was the story…(we use storyboards… or 3/5 cards to keep on track) was their more than one or several directions which could be confusing? Are we flashing or cutting to a different story or contenuing along with the same one with derivations?.

Again in all the last part of the trailer was… the action..paragon….(as you read… some folks we’re their in feelings, relating to your delima, … good good…. (wana hook’ em … next time you get to find out how it turned out…kinda thing)

the begining is more of a travel log with its own… with no hooks… easy going carefree. (Kristie: in the begining.. hon.. how we doing on fuel??)

Ya getting good Sean… keep up the work…Your probably finding out that it doesn’t come easy as one who watches thinks… lots of dynamics going on behind the camera… and the learning curve is not as easy .. huh… Like the kid in the math class… if you give him the answer he thinks the problem is simple to do… till he has to do it on his own….

Jausmus, what company is your Internet service provider? Someone recently reported a problem with AT&T uverse.

In the past we used YouTube to deliver videos. If we keep having problems with Vimeo we’ll go back to YouTube. Vimeo’s HD quality is great, as are some of its interface features. But apparently it’s still having problems with reliability.

Oh, and one other browser you might try is Google Chrome. I’ve had pretty good luck with Chrome.
