The End of the Season - Californicaiton Season 3 is complete !

BKLA — Fri, 17 Jul 2009 17:52:22 +0000

So we've been working for the last 12 weeks or so, diligently filming away in new and fun locations, trying to get the third Season of Californication in the can. And, this week - it is done. OF course, there is some paperwork and a bunch of editing to do - but, for the most part, we are through. Tune in this September on Showtime. It was a tough season, but a great one. Love working with this entire crew. Hope you have as much fun watching it as we had making it.

Working On Saturday - An iPhone Perspective...

BKLA — Mon, 22 Jun 2009 00:20:49 +0000

We are nearing the end of Season 3 on Californication, and We have some shots that we still need from past episodes - so, We had an "Insert Shot Saturday".

We were filming this weekend and I had the New iPhone on Hand - Here is a quick look ( just for fun while playing around with the iPhone 3GS).

It's a couple minutes - Hope you have fun with it... :)

First impressions of the new iPhone 3G S

BKLA — Sat, 20 Jun 2009 14:23:26 +0000

So I bit the bullet ( hardly anyone thought I would do otherwise) and got the new 32GB iPhone 3GS. To be fair - I did not upgrade to the 3G Last year. I did not think that there was any major improvement that warrented spending the dough.

But this time - with a few of the latest extras - I'm really digging the upgrade.

The Compass which gives me the ability to get Google maps that point in the direction you are heading (and will eventually allow for Turn By Turn Direction GPS programs) is actually of practical use on the job.

The Auto Focus Camera does a nice job and the Video - Well here is a quick example I posted on YouTube:

The other big feature that is so cool - is the Voice Command - With the Voice Command feature - You can speak and Dial A phone number and control the iPod. A very handy feature for those of us who spend a lot of time in the car.

Still playing around with it - but so far - I think it is the best Tech purchase I've made since... well - The first iPhone. :)

In Honor of the new Video iPod and iTunes 6.0, I am doing a test post of the BKLA podcast . While this is not actually a podcast, pe se - It is a quicktime movie I made in iMovie of my last trip to New York. It's about seven minutes long - NO big deal - But I had to see hhow it would work in the new Version of iTunes.
