With a little progress and just enough interest in using imovie, this page is the place to see completed reels.
My movie making (ha!) is still in development and may have reached its ceiling as my time is best spent making what goes in the reels, not in making the reels.
At this point the majority of content is from my work with surfboards. In a surfboard factory I can set up a tripod and capture long periods of work before sifting through the footage and editing it down to a finished reel.
I am looking forward to capturing more of the creative process in the studio.

Just had to add this moment from the surfboard factory. All's well that ends well! But not without initial surprise and some quick steps to control the mishap.
When anyone starts working with surfboards for the first time, the opening advice is to be prepared for unfortunate incidents...their coming...don't think their not. Every stage of making a surfboard is peppered with pitfalls, some irreversible. There are fragile blanks, volatile resins, chemicals and paints to juggle and corral into a finished, watertight surfboard.
This gaffe was all my doing, and something I had not done before. I mean, you wouldn't want to make such a ridiculous blunder twice. To tighten the lid is a very clear and simple requirement to avoid disaster. I learnt quickly and tightened the bottle lids really well when I flipped over the surfboard to paint the deck.
