Chibi-flash has arrived for chibi-sabre fun...

OK, there's the Finelux mini flashgun.

Here's the pic from eBay that made me fall in love with it:



It's here now and I took a bunch of pix of it including a few torn down. Here's the link to the Flickr photos:

I'm torn because I think the reflector is spiffy. However, I have never seen a lightsabre with the reflector still attached. When they made them from press camera flashes, they always removed the reflector.

Anyway, it's here, I like it, I'm not sure what I'm going to do with the thing right away but I'm going to do something with it eventually.

v2.0 tutorial main taping today.

Still shot slide-show at Flickr.

It might take me a while to edit because the sound is even worse this time than with v1.0. I am going to have to write narration and get some production music together for this. I've also got schoolwork to do...wow, school work, what a concept!

Hope you like it...you'll be the first to know when I'm done.

It never rains in SoCal...

...except when it does.

Gonna have to postpone the taping because we're getting sprinkled on. I could care less...in fact, I like the rain, and would love to see more of it. However, it's not healthy for a video camera not protected by a water-resistant housing, a camera accessory I don't have.

To look on the bright side, the folks fighting the huge Day Fire in Ventura County are getting a little cooperation from Mother Nature, finally.
