Roger's Nature Walk on YouTube (channel BearGhetti): "There is something that I have come to truly admire about Roger is his love for nature. I haven't met anyone else like him who is able to find the miracle in things that most people consider common. A simple nature walk becomes a glimpse into paradise".

This year I (Forrest - profile) dabbled into movie making. I have been working with Roger (galleries - profile) as well as a few others and what I've come to realize is I now fully appreciate the amount of work that goes into making a movie.

The hardest part for me is the editing. Writing the story and filming it is of course a lot of work, but it's the editing ~ sitting down and spending the whole day streaming the movie together into a coherent whole. I could work 12 hours on it and be lucky if I've completed a minute... or two (miracles of miracles). Of course I've never taken courses on movie making so it's a lot of learning, still... I think 'editor' should be the final credit seen at the end of a movie, not 'director'.

This section of Roger walking in the woods is a segment to a larger project. I am trying to work on this project as much as I can, but it's just trying to find the time. My goal for '09 is to work as much as I can and with a wing and a prayer, complete something for production.

Please let me know what you think of this 5 minute short of Roger in the woods. I think Roger has such a beautiful innocence about him that it instantly appears on camera.
