Congratulations...

to Nicholas Kocan, Kennyboy's Director of Photography. He just had his screenplay accepted to the Mexico International Film Festival. This is a great achievement, so be sure to congratulate him if you see him on the street or in his bedroom or however you experience Nicholas Kocan.

Adobe and Foley (Dave)

Adobe has CS5 out these days. Normally I wouldn't be too excited at the latest iteration, except they've apparently revamped the rendering engine so everything works much faster, along with native 64-bit support. Given the length of the editing on this film, it might have been worth it to wait. Ten times faster project loading time would literally change my entire life.

I'm also intrigued about their claims that they now support real 2 hour length project editing. We've entered the phase on the project where Premiere reliably crashes at least once a day. It did so well for so long, but it's back to its old tricks. I guess we've really pushed its limits and it would be interesting to see how it would perform in CS5, but we're not going to try it now.


Also, Keith Olbermann did an interview with Dave Foley of Kids in the Hall regarding his old communism sketch and how it prophesied Glenn Beck. The sketch itself is of more interest for all you Kenny-philes given its content and some of the specific assertions Mr. Foley makes. Check it out:
