Jason Scott's Weblog
There was a joker in every crowd. I use the word “joker” because the jokers traditionally have thin defensive skin and calling them what they are instead of Jokers gets that hurt look I don’t need on a night of triumph. All the nights were nights of triumph on the JET LAMP tour, by the […]
Just wanted to mention that the BBS Documentary IMDB Entry now has another 100 names added to it. Man, did I interview a lot of people. Only a few people appear in my film as well as others, so I added a metric ton of entirely new people to their database, and that takes a […]
Just worked a little on one of those “in the attic” projects – adding interviewees to the cast list for the BBS Documentary IMDB Entry. If you’ve never worked with IMDB’s interface for adding or correcting details, it’s very weird to say the least. And if you’re working in the world of Wikis and think […]
From the mailbox: Hello Jason, In about a month and a half, I’ll be undertaking a video interview series of ultramarathon runners. Unfortunately, I have zero experience with both interviewing and video production. My frame of reference for beginning is your BBS Documentary. I imagine I’ll essentially film interviews in the same manner that you […]
Hey, I made a movie a while ago: When I first started putting together this project, I had hubris indeed, and ordered 5000 copies, which is what showed up. That was in May of 2005. Pre-orders were great – nearly 900. This paid for the duplication. After it came out, additional sales paid off the […]
OK, so if your printer is attached to your computer and you want to move your printer, detach the printer from the computer. Otherwise, this happens: As it turned out, the computer didn’t even disconnect from anything as it flew down and bounced off the scanner, but the anti-piracy technology of XP noticed the voltage […]
Just wanted to dip my head in a second. Editing, as discussed previously, so basically on break from writing weblog entries, but another part of production came to fruition and is announced on the Inventory weblog for GET LAMP. I hired an excellent artist, Lukas Ketner, to do an inside cover in the style of […]
January’s a wash. I mean, not really a wash for me, per se, but as far as outward appearances go, I am sure I appear to be dead. This weblog hasn’t really been updated, I’ve not been throwing out a ton of new stuff, I went to the hospital… it’s all because of the movie. […]
…Jason is Editing. Just no way around it. The remainder of this month and most of January are going to be pretty light in terms of weblog postings. When I do “real” ones, that is, ones with a beginning, middle, and end and which present some position or information and then researched as deep as […]
Yes, it’s time. Thanks to the generosity of 350 people, I’ve been able to work on things that matter to me and really stretch out my days with all my projects. So I can announce: GET LAMP, my documentary on text adventures, is going to be released in March of 2010. Right now I’m focusing […]
