OpenShot video editor (Linux)

Yesterday I went looking for a video editor for Linux. Since openSUSE is my preferred operating system, YaST (openSUSE version of Control Panel in Windows) was used to search for a video editor. OpenShot was one of three search result items. The others were Cinelerra and LIVES. All three were installed but only OpenShot would work on my system.

Sundays at Tiffany's

Is a made for TV movie/TV pilot based on the book Sundays at Tiffany's. It is set in New York and is a woman and her childhood experiences of separation, betrayal and true love. As usual, this blog posting is not about the movie. It is about the production of the film - specifically about my experiences while working on the set.
