It was a creator's worst nightmare on display this week with the podcast. I managed to record an entire episode and then erase the original file from my working drive.

I am sorry, I made a mistake. I never should have said we would get back on track during last week's podcast. It might have been true when I said it but it certainly isn't now. This week on Episode #444 I am continuing the Cinematography Series where I am trying out to explain why all of […]
