Due to a long battle with the lawyers from my previous investors.. the movie was a long halt.  However, the movie is still going forward with my personal investments.  The movie will move forward.  The delay was occurred because the investors wanted to have more creative control of the movie.  I couldn’t let that interfere with the integrity of the concept I wanted to create.

For those that have waited, I appreciate your patience.  I could not talk about the matter due to the legal advice of my counsel regarding the potential investors.  Now that they are no longer in the picture I can slowly start to blog again. Cheers.  The movie has been set back a little. However I wanted everyone to know that we might start filming in the fall.  Thank you again for your support.

Living in Orange County, California can be a great place for weather, however we have 2 natural disasters that hit us every other year or so. Southern California has earthquakes and wildfires. These past few days have been troublesome for many Southern California homeowners. Currently there are 14 fires, at which most of the causes are unknown. My home in Orange County is safe, however I can see the fires and smoke along the freeway. The smell of ash in the air gives you a sense of insecurity as the sky is covered in this brown musky haze. But living through many fires in Southern California, I know that everything will be okay in a few days.

So, how does it become so dangerous?

California has always been known to have dry brush and small fires. With the growing population, California home builders set new locations building homes in regions closer to these areas. These new homes stop the natural flow of water, they are like grids that will lock up the irrigation of rain. So these dry areas become even more dry. This build up of dry brush become an abundant source of fuel to burn when the winds are high on a hot day.

Safety

A few of my friends have had to evacuate from San Diego, packing their documents, pictures, and priceless items. I hope everyone will be safe during these fires. Let’s pray for everyones safety.

Here is a Sneak Peek at the Speakers from Blog World Expo in Las Vegas. As said in my previous post we are going to Las Vegas November 8th and 9th. We have finalized our deposit for the booth and we are going to come blazing. My PR reps are brainstorming ways right now to present our booth in a different way from conventional setups. Being that this is the first Blogging Expo of this magnitude, we want to make our 1st impression memorable.

We have a 10 x 20 booth and we are near the front of the Expo across from Microsoft. The movie is going full steam and I’m meeting up with some potential business partners to write out the business plan. This idea of creating a movie started while I was reading the 4 Hour Workweek. The book as inspired me to live the dream and think big.  Come meet other big bloggers by going to Blog World Expo, it’s the must go to event of the year.   The revolution starts now, you might want to come this year so that next you will be a veteran, instead of a newbie with all the 2008 newbie bloggers.

If you are going to the Expo, please stop by our booth and let me know you’re coming. If you have not signed up, do so now by clicking this button.

We can celebrate and rejoice the efforts of our former Vice-resident Al Gore. He has been on a mission to change the course of this man made climate change. In his documentary An Inconivent Truth, he outlines the dramatic changes that have occured in recent decades.

His efforts to spread aware-ness has shed light to the public about how great this cause really is. He often restates that, “This is not a political issue as it is a planetary issue.”

The earth is our home, so lets take care of it. Scientific facts are there to support his views. Everyone has a chance to make a positive difference on this earth. Let’s be on the social path to let our future generations enjoy this beauty as well.

“I am deeply honored to receive the Nobel Peace Prize,” Gore said in a statement. “We face a true planetary emergency. The climate crisis is not a political issue, it is a moral and spiritual challenge to all of humanity.”

Gore won an Academy Award this year for his film “An Inconvenient Truth,” a documentary on global warming, and had been widely expected to win the prize.

The new design is up and I will do a follow up post about why I chose to customize my design.  It was done by no other, Nate Whitehill from Unique Blog Designs.  Things are progressing forward in full speed.  How do you like it?

Teaser

I was up until 2am on Wednesday night with Paper Plane Productions (my film crew).  We were currently sketching the layout of the teaser.  We have a pretty good idea as to how we want to showcase this commercial. Stay tuned for that.

Film Production

This is such a long process.  You have to deal with so many variables and people.  It’s mostly the scheduling.  Let’s face it everyone is busy with their own lives and projects that they’ve got going on.  While producing a documentary with so many other people involved around the world, I realized it all comes down to planning. 

Planning

You can never be prepared for everything. However preparations comes down to delegating responsibilities and doing your due diligence in research.  With delegation you need to form a strong team of individuals you can rely on.  I’m fortunate enough to have met some key people in my life to make this documentary possible. 

Networking

The biggest resource is at your fingertips.  With the growing success of meeting people through blogging. I urge you to make friend in different fields.  It helps to have a little expert in a different field.  These lifelines of resource will give you an surreal amount of knowledge through just one degree of separation.
