Tonight’s Jam: Oh Holy Night featuring Trombone Shorty

A must for every December…

From Studio 60 – Oh Holy Night, featuring musicians from New Orleans and Trombone Shorty.

O holy night! The stars are brightly shining,
It is the night of our dear Saviour’s birth.
Long lay the world in sin and error pining,
‘Til He appear’d and the soul felt its worth.
A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices,
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn.

Fall on your knees! O hear the angel voices!
O night divine, O night when Christ was born;
O night divine, O night, O night Divine.

Led by the light of Faith serenely beaming,
With glowing hearts by His cradle we stand.
So led by light of a star sweetly gleaming,
Here come the wise men from Orient land.
The King of Kings lay thus in lowly manger;
In all our trials born to be our friend.

He knows our need, our weakness is no stranger,
Behold your King! Before Him lowly bend!
Behold your King, Before Him lowly bend!

Truly He taught us to love one another;
His law is love and His gospel is peace.
Chains shall He break for the slave is our brother;
And in His name all oppression shall cease.
Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we,
Let all within us praise His holy name.

Christ is the Lord! O praise His Name forever,
His power and glory evermore proclaim.
His power and glory evermore proclaim.

A little Lenny to start the day

Midnight viewing

I’d love to go see the Hobbit at midnight again for The Desolation of Smaug – but by the time I get home Little Miss will be wanting her bottle and well, there goes the night. 🙁

We may need to find a babysitter for a full day so we can finish Christmas shopping, see The Hunger Games and I can see The Hobbit.

Black holes do exist – in our home

Yes, black holes do exist – and apparently there is one in our home.

In the last few weeks we’ve lost an 8 GB SD card, a key fob and now a Netflix DVD.

Missing socks have nothing on us.

After Effects vs Consumer Video Editors

This morning I’ve been working on this video opener for our holiday video greeting at work.

As consumer video editing software improves, I often wonder if spending an hour or more on a video title is worth the effort.

Does the average viewer realize the time that went into it or are they just assuming I’m typing text into iMovie and letting it do the rest?

And does it matter either way? 😉
