A Teaser Clip...

Here's something I shot as a goof on Halloween morning.  It gives a taste of how the Haunt looked...

Atmosfear

Wanted to mention how amazing the Haunt felt as Halloween at High Noon's Atmosfear played in the background.  It created the perfect environment as people walked onto the porch and looked out at the yard of human scarecrows.  The atmosphere it produced felt old school and classy.

Technical Difficulties

So I have all this fun video of my Haunt which is currently in the form of .mov files, and it seems that most video editing software, including my current (and ancient) Sony Vegas version 6, can't process them.  So you have to run these files through a conversion program to make them editing software-friendly.  Only problem is that when I do convert them it seems my editing program knows I've converted them and treats them like evil step-children and the video segments become corrupted and start to skip when I edit them in size or attempt to fade them into other segments.  This is as technical as I can get.

So anyways, does anyone have a recommended process, or editing software that will be more .mov file-friendly?

Ash Vs. Evil Dead

We watched this on Halloween morning and it felt like it lasted ten minutes.  Looked amazing and was smart, funny, scary, and a little (maybe a lot) vulgar.  Really REALLY recommend it.  Can't recall the last time I had this much fun watching a TV series.  Hoping they're all just as good as the premiere.

Always great to start off the post-Halloween blogging with this Haunt. A personal favorite of mine.

Spotty Blogging

Still catching up with everything after the big day, so I'll be spotty with blog entries for a few days.  Looking VERY forward to featuring other folks' Haunts in the coming weeks.
And I'll be working on my site's galleries, and this year's Haunt video, which I'm super excited about since I have a ton of high quality day and night footage.
