That’s me (Patrick), disheveled and feeling like a kid opening the world’s greatest present on Christmas morning. In my hands is Red #2464.

Camera tests will follow in the next few days, but I spent a big part of this afternoon figuring all the little bits out and getting the camera set up to shoot.

First project it’ll be used on: exterior shots for Couch Cases.

This camera system will allow us to create tv commercials and video projects that look absolutely stunning, and I’m very thrilled to be one of the “first” Red owners.

I love my new environment. I sit on the back porch every morning and enjoy my tea and breakfast, looking out over the city. And each night before I go to bed I look out the french doors and see this huge carpet of twinkling lights. It’s amazing.

Running in the canyon is an interesting experience, definitely a lot harder than running on flat ground. And I saw a notice posted to a streetlamp- we have a roving band of coyotes in the neighborhood, the notice said, so one ought to keep one’s children and small pets close.

It’s so interesting to have all this nature so close to the city. That’s one of the things about Los Angeles that I truly love- in 5 minutes I’m in the middle of the city. And 5 minutes up the canyon and I’m in my secluded haven. It’s very different from the fully-urban world I lived in only a week ago.

We’ve also been given the opportunity to create a couple of new conference presentation videos for a client. So, I’m really busy now. This is good.
