I was hired to shoot and edit their wedding video. I used a Canon T3i DSLR camera, Canon g20 Vixia camcorder and a samsung android as backup.

I edited in Adobe Premiere with some shots cleaned and altered in after effects.

Take note of the photo scenes at 23.28….. Some of the video was so backlit and overexposed it seemed unusable. I slo mo-ed the video and added auto color and contrast correction and some of the shots have an artsy quality that I could claim I did on purpose but are really just “happy accidents.”

I so love this list.When I watch watch Star Trek reruns in the 70s, ALL of the technology was fantasy.
Even the automated doors.I can remember asacid most grocery stores had old style hinged doors, but more and more were started to add “futuristic” automatic sliding doors.As kids we loved to play with them, jumping on the pad to get the electronic doors to open ”like on star trek”.
When cell phones arrived in the late 90s, we were like “ we finally have star trek communicators….
Sure, it was alwaysthe tendency of electronics to keep getting smaller and better. Big military and Policeradios were too expensive and too big for regular people. But maybe one day inventors could make “radios” like that available to regular folk.And Star Trek put ideas like that into engineers minds,Star Trek had the idea, not the science, to do it. Engineers could take Star Trek ideas and build the science into it.
Star Trek had desktop computers 30 to 40 years before the real world did.PADD’s….. iPads…
Tablets…
We don’t have replicators but we have the beginnings of 3D printing. We don’t have warp drive but…. well we’re nowhere near THAT, but who knows, maybe some day…
One thing this list forgot to include is that in the sixties, medical technology on Star Trek was pure fantasy. You could see a patients vital signs on computer screens. That didn’t exist then but its common place now.

If you lived through the 70’s, you heard the Debbie Boone song “You Light Up My Life,” a thousand times. Some conservatives would have you think all music, our entire culture in fact, was “clean” in the 40s then Satan Elvis started dirtying it up and it got progressively worse throughout the late 60s and seventies. But theres all kinds of people and many want alternatives- G rated fare has never gone away.
Sick of it or not, this uplifting G rated positive song was the soundtrack of the 70s.
But theres a few not so G-Rated, not so uplifting, stories behind this song. Not about Debbie Boone, but about the guy who wrote it.
He was a thief and a serial rapist.
After being a successful advertising jingle writer ( a lot like Barry Manilow) Joseph Brooks came up with the idea for a movie and song.
In a 2013 biographical essay about Cisyk,[2] Cisyk’s second husband, Ed Rakowicz (who worked as a sound engineer, but not for this song), wrote that songwriter Brooks was initially pleased with Cisyk’s recording of the song with orchestra (and her version appeared in the movie and soundtrack) but “tried to evade payment by false promises and by asking her to be an incidental actor in his film, implying huge rewards yet to come…”[2] Rackowicz claimed that Brooks made improper advances toward Cisyk, and after being rebuffed, didn’t speak directly to her again, and continued to evade payments to her while commissioning another recording with Debby Boone. According to Rackowicz, “Besides wanting Boone to copy Kacey’s [sic][3] iconic hit reading of his songs, Brooks needed to cover up Kacey’s vocal leakage in the microphones in the piano recorded at the original demo session on which was overdubbed the orchestral track used in the film. Brooks didn’t want to pay to re-record the piano and orchestra again.”[2] In a 2003 interview with Entertainment Weekly, Boone said, “I had no freedom whatsoever. Joe told me exactly how to sing it and imitate every inflection from the original recording.”[4] Cisyk later retained a lawyer and sued Brooks for the fees she earned for her work on the record and for credit on the soundtrack, which she later received.[2]
In 2009, Brooks became the subject of an investigation after being accused of a series of casting-couch rapes.[5] He was indicted in May 2009 by the state Supreme Court for Manhattan (a trial-level court) on 91 counts of rape, sexual abuse, criminal sexual act, assault, and other charges. While awaiting trial, Brooks killed himself in May 2011.[6]
Sexual assault indictment
In June 2009, Brooks was arrested on charges of raping or sexually assaulting eleven women lured to his East Side apartment from 2005 to 2008. His female assistant, Shawni Lucier, was charged with helping him.[24] At least four of the women accused him of sexual assault. He allegedly lured the women to his apartment to audition for movie roles.[25] According to Manhattan District AttorneyRobert Morgenthau, the women responded to a notice that Brooks had posted on Craigslist seeking attractive women to star in movie roles, and flew to New York from Pacific Coast states or Florida, usually at Brooks’ expense.[26]
He was indicted on June 23, 2009. He was to be tried in the state Supreme Court for Manhattan (a trial-level court) on 91 counts of rape, sexual abuse, criminal sexual act, assault, and other charges.[26] In December 2009, prosecutors indicated that they would ask the grand jury to consider adding even more charges, in part because “additional victims” had come forward.[27] However, Brooks died on May 22, 2011, before he could be tried.
Three days after Brooks’ death, Shawni Lucier pleaded guilty to ten counts of criminal facilitation.[28]
