For those of you who still use Internet Explorer, you may have noticed that our website was broken since the last mini-redesign. Well, I fixed it. In the process, I probably broke it for some other browser on some other operating system.

It was a problem with the CSS that Firefox had no problem ignoring.
Are you an IE user? Maybe you should switch to Firefox. It’s better.

For those of you who can’t help reminding us about a certain Orange Popsicle, in our movie, “Happy Birthday, Harris Malden,” I’m proud to say that I have finally reached a major breakthrough in fixing the scene.

For those of you who don’t know what I’m talking about, let me fill you in. Last summer, while shooting the movie, we came across a scene where my character, Paul, nurses his wounds in an overstuffed recliner, sulking and sucking on a popsicle. We had a box of red, orange, and purple ones all ready to go. The scene took a while to light and shoot, and it was hotter than Satan’s Anus in the house, so members of Sweaty Robot, the cast, and the crew went to town on the popsicles. Well, when it came time to switch to another purple pop for continuity’s sake, there weren’t any left. Instead of getting more, we decided to go with an orange popsicle. I think we said we’d “fix it in post.” Well, that was a terrible idea. The recliner is orange, my skin has red-tones, and the camera was shooting warm. That makes it nearly impossible to isolate the orange color.

I’ve taken many cracks at fixing this scene, with a few different software packages, and many techniques. I won’t bore you with the nerdy details, but I finally got it. One more night of burying myself in the computer, and this thing will be done–

Until Matt Sanchez notices a tiny detail awry, and I have to re-render it. Just kidding, buddy, I hate you. Love you. Whatever.
