Mr. Ocean Liner

I was warned by friends that once I started a blog I'd post a few times then get too busy to keep it up on a regular basis. I thought, "No, I can do this...". Well, clearly it's been a while since I've posted anything. Life keeps all of us running around and it's hard to find time to sit down and actually write about it. Too busy living and doing to stop and keep up a journal, let alone to regularly keep up my "status" on Facebook. I don't know how people do it. I know I should just set aside a time each day to make an entry, but easier said than done!

A new adventure is underway that I'll try and share as I can. In a nutshell, the one and only Bill Miller, otherwise officially known as Maritime Historian and Author William H. Miller, Jr.

(www.BillMillerAtSea.com) or more aptly as "Mr. Ocean Liner", has asked me if I would produce a documentary of his life. He had seen my DVD "Three Queens An International Rendezvous" and liked the personal feel, rather than a large Busby Berkeley production. With new HD video equipment, professional editing with Final Cut Pro and a fantastic replication company that does DVD/Box design & shrink wrap, it's now possible on a small independent scale to produce a first class product.

Over the next several months I will be following Bill around with a camera, taping interviews and lectures, special events, Bill's friends and family old and new, as well as scanning 100's of fabulous photographs and models. We started last week in Manhattan at the Southstreet Seaport Museum and will be embarking shortly on a transatlantic adventure sailing both the Queen Mary 2 and the Queen Victoria. Like the rehearsal process in theatre, it is the creative process of exploring possibilities and putting it all together and that I find the most exciting. It's a blank canvas and anything can happen! More to follow....
