Check it out in the Editor section. Enjoy! http://danfreelance.com/?p=92 So here's a little something I've been kicking around lately. In South Carolina, the team and I went to a Home Depot one night and came across an interesting and seemingly unexplored option in the realm of cheap lighting. I'm talking about CFLs- Compact Fluorescent Lights. They're cheap, portable, durable, ... http://danfreelance.com/?p=77 Welcome to South Carolina, where my hotel room key has an advertisement for chicken and waffles on the back! After a bit of hibernation, my freelance work has taken me to the South to shoot a series of commercials for a prominent fried chicken chain. After my first five hours in ... http://danfreelance.com/?p=57 Bored? Good. Clear off a little space on your desk or workspace or whatever. Done? Great, now open up your wallet and find a dollar bill or a euro or whatever, if you are reading this from overseas.

History wanted to see a cut of the pilot on Wednesday, so after Saturday's all-nighter, I went ahead and did more late nights editing through the beginning of the week.

I'm back in Boston now and I think I slept enough during the drive home from Pennsylvania to get me through digitizing all the footage in one night.
