#31, More Music, Not Enough Video, And Fried Fish

Hercules - An Old Ship, San Francisco, California, April ‘08, artistic view.

I am writing more music for my videos, as is always the case. Will try to write shorter pieces and match them better with the video scenes, essentially try to score the video. So far I was not paying much attention to what the video was actually showing, but from now on will try to enhance the video with music. It is a bit harder to write that way, but it is also a better way without any doubt.
A trip to San Francisco produced little good video, not enough tourists, a bit cold, and a very strong wind. Need to add more clips from another place to come up with a decent video.
On my way home back from San Francisco, I stopped to get something to eat at a place that you may have already seen in my previous videos on US1 at the Pacific Coast. A small, red color wooden building, fish restaurant. Used to go to that place quite often in the past, now a bit less. A bowl of clam chowder, fried fish and French fries, with a tip was $25. A sourdough bread and butter plus a glass of water with ice came with it. Used to be much cheaper several years ago!
I got a good video related book that comes with CD, from Barnes & Noble. A Down & Dirty DV podcast from that author is available on iTunes.

Now drinking: jasmine tea with fresh key limes from Mexico.
Later: a glass of Fox Brook’ 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon wine, from Sonoma, California.
