Journal Excerpt - November 9th, 2010

"Stroker Ace"

I have this thought in my head that my idea is real. It's just a given. It's like I know that I have to. It's on my schedule. I just have to suck it up and do it.

What am I talking about? My long chased after goal to redord a full length magic video. Over the last year I know that I've recorded enough effects to truly accomplish it, but it didn't have that start to finish feel.

No one has guaranteed that they can help, the sun will set at 5:00 p.m., I have no camera besides my cheap one, and my Flip camera software sucks.

Still... the pieces have seemingly aligned in my brain and I know it will happen.

So much so that I foresee myself recording something tonite, rehearsing tomorrow, and recording two days straight afterwards. Then I'll pick up next Wednesday recording any effects that need another take.

I've lost my hope to film this for promotional reasons. The aim is now for me to allow my imagination to become reality.

I'd like to find a focus while recording. I'd like to learn to enjoy spontaneous performances. I'd like to learn to appreciate rehearsal and routining. I want to find a focus, a character, and give myself a voice. I also want to see something through from start to finish.
