Sunday Synopsis - The Gift from Steve Jobs and an Actor's Call of Duty
Earlier this month, I imposed a challenge on myself to create 30 videos in 30 days, leading up to the World Premiere of "ABYSS: The Greatest Proposal Ever" (or TGPE, as I will be referring to it as from time to time). These videos are part of my YouTube webseries "30 Days - The Making of ABYSS: The Greatest Proposal Ever" -- a collection of mini documentaries chronicling the making of the project, with many behind-the-scenes images, interviews and footage clips not shown until now.
The point of it all is to help build more buzz for the January 15th screening and also re-launch my YouTube channel since I've neglected it for a long time.
After starting this challenge, however, I soon realized that some major techinical limitations would make it very difficult to produce them on a daily basis. Now, I'm planning to make and post them in batches, to figure out if that can help make the process less stressful and the web series project more likely to be completed. While the first episode serves as a quasi-trailer, here are the second and fourth episodes about how Steve Jobs simplified our workdays as well as why actor Rodney Benson answered to the call of duty for participating in this movie.
Episode 2 - The Gift from Steve Jobs, or What the iPad 2 Taught Cast & Crew about Multitasking:
Episode 4 - Why actor Rodney Benson took on the Call of Duty
Boy, it seems like year flew by so fast. Tell me this...
What are YOUR plans for New Year's?

The year really has flown by. I sort of feel like I've been left in its wake lol!! Time to catch up to it :-)
Angela,
Totally! lol. It's so easy to understand where you're coming from on that front, given that I could swear it seems like just yesterday it was Summertime and then the Fall and Winter packed up their holidays, got together in a carpool, knocked on the front door and then smacked me in the face before running off, leaving me to wonder where the heck did 2013 go? The scary part about it is that I have a feeling that this is just the beginning and 2014 has no plans of slowing down on my account. We'll have to grab this baby by the horns, for sure!
