Hi, I'm Topher nice to meet you. » work http://toe-fur.com Toe Fur Productions Wed, 10 Feb 2010 00:21:54 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 en hourly 1 I’ll Be M.I.A. For a While…. http://toe-fur.com/2008/05/05/ill-be-mia-for-a-while/ http://toe-fur.com/2008/05/05/ill-be-mia-for-a-while/#comments Tue, 06 May 2008 02:29:16 +0000 Topher http://topherthevideoguy.wordpress.com/?p=14 Sooooo me and the family are looking to get a house soon, but before that happens since I am working a low-paying, low-hours job… we have to cut costs… sooo that means no more internet, no more 400 channels of cable… no more covered parking spot… and many other luxuries sacrificed. I never really realized what its like to not be able to afford the things that you really take for granted… I mean, my whole life I have pretty much had everything I wanted… but times have come that the family comes first and to get to that dream life… the road gets a little rocky. I am still going to be updating my blog and youtube every once in a while… but I won’t be checking in every day.

In other news… I have finished the editing on the Kane Hodder video… and now comes the fun part… visual effects post production! I am really stoked for this, because this is my first REAL music video I have done that has a bunch of VFX put in. Kane Hodder LOVED the raw footage with the plain editing… so I am stoked to see what they say about it after I get the VFX done. I am thinking that this might be my first opportunity to make a video tutorial. Since I am going to have so much to OFFLINE and so little time online… I will have a lot more time to make productions, and I really want to break into the AE tutorial scene and learn some more Cinema4D. Most of my time is going to be spent posting here, youtube, and downloading and watching tutorials.

As for now… keep a lookout… because I will be posting a lot of new stuff… VERY SOON.

I called up my dawg from XIL Records, Levi Lyon seeing if he had any bands that needed video done. I also called up my old instructor from Clover Park to see if he had any leads on any jobs. He told me that Emerald Downs is gonna be hiring for a ton of positions including Camera Operators, Chyron Operators, and Avid Editors. I went in to Emerald Downs and met with Wes (the main dude) and he showed me around. I went in the week after that, to learn the basics of Chyron, so hopefully to get the job doing that… and then I hoped for the best. Well I got a phone call from Wes yesterday offering me a job as a Camera Operator in the main area where the winners circle is. He told me I might be able to work into some other positions as well…

So yeah… I am back in the biz and I can quit that horrid job at the warehouse working 13 hour days for 10 an hour. BLAH.

There is also some stuff in the works with XIL Records, but I won’t say anything yet… I am actually meeting with him in a couple of hours… but I will keep you all updated. Until then… PEACE….
