Swine Flu Cancels Recording Session

As it turned out, the session for recording music for the Yucatan Travel Movie had to be cancelled because one of the members had come down with the Swine Flu. She is doing much better now. Therefore, we rescheduled the recording session for next week.

Anticipated Recording Session Today

One of the hardest parts of creating the Yucatan Travel Movie has been finding good background music that is has rights available to me. All the popular music that is readily available in stores in copyrighted.

I have had to look to local musicians and composers . . . with wonderful results. The music I have found is fantastic. Today, I go to record a piece by a woman who is an organist at a local church. She is also a composer. The piece is for organ and oboe. It is also great when played on the piano and oboe. It has a moody Spanish-sounding tango in it. Ole!

Cozumel Also a Great Diving Destination

Besides being one of the most sacred places for the ancient Maya, Isla Cozumel is a great destination for snorkellers and deep sea divers. When we were there a year ago, people were snorkelling beside an outdoor seaside restaurant, images of which will be in the Yucatan Travel Movie.

Cozumel Island was the Most Sacred Spot of the Ancient Maya

I am looking forward to my upcoming work editing the section on Isla Cozumel in the Yucatan Travel Movie. It was the most sacred spot of the ancient Maya. All Maya women had to make a pilgrimage to Cozumel at least once in their lives to pray for their own fertility and the fertility of their crops.

Love the Music for Cozumel Ferry Voyage

I am so happy with the lovely Tom Petrachenko song, All These Ghosts, that I am using to go with the ferry trip from the Yucatan mainland to the island of Cozumel in the Yucatan Travel Video. It is soooo perfect for the mood! Love it. And, I especially like Tom’s voice. Really great!

Back to Cozumel!

After returning to the Playa del Carmen “walking on the beach with Pelicans diving” scene to add the Sony Vegas cinescore-generated music in the Yucatan Travel Movie, I am ready to move on to editing the footage of the trip on the car ferry to Isla Cozumel.

Dream Study Helps to Understand Soul Purpose

At lunch hour today, friends and I were talking about how soul purpose for this lifetime can be discerned through a study of dream interpetation.

Choosing Cinescore Music for Playa Beach and Pelicans Scene

I love working with Sony Creative Software people on the Yucatan Travel Movie because they are so helpful and knowledgeable. Today, I received help for choosing the Cinescore for the music underlying the video of the scene with the fishing boats bobbing in the water and pelicans diving around them in the sea at Playa del Carmen.

On to Cozumel!

I am happy to say that today I moved on to editing the section on Isla Cozumel in the Yucatan Travel Movie.

We are in the 2012 “Galactic Zone” Now!

According to Synthia Andrews and Colin Andrews, co-authors of The Complete Idiot’s Guide to 2012, John Major Jenkins does not proclaim December 21, 2012 as THE DATE when the Galactic Center lines up with the winter solstice. On the contrary, Jenkins evidently says that from 1994 to 2030 we are in the “Galactic Zone” – the time when our planet is aligned with the Galactic Center.
