I remember when I first got “in” to design I watched videos for hours. I still do.

I’m inspired, by the type of interview, the candor, the simple camera play, and the humor “realness” of who these men are.

Love it.

Retro has always been cool. I see a lot of it these days in a lot of design work. I wonder if we’re coming into another resurgence or renaissance?

I’m always on the hunt for adding to my library of Photoshop files for designs, and here’s another iPad PSD file for your own library!

I love simple web services that can help you speed up the process of getting what you need done without having to actually do a lot of the work, especially for ministries and non-profits.

Why not use a creative web service for that?

I realized halfway through this morning that I had completely forgotten how to do this in Final Cut Pro.  I had to re-learn the whole process and figured that if I wrote this post about it, then the next time I forget, I could just go back and read this.

Here’s my work-flow for overcranked footage in Final Cut Pro:
