From your job? Here? This is pretty vague, FF. Hope it doesn't mean the end of your Bond projects.

I hope so too. I was also looking forward to seeing what FF would do with The Motion Picture. Aside from his projects, I will miss FF's posts if he spends less time here. Stick around, man.
Dirty Harry went down hill when he stopped singing with Blondie.

Just wanted to retire from my armature fan editing carrier at this time. I'm sure the Bond laserdisc preservation will get done (as I want them for myself too). I will also still answer my personal mail about such things and keep up here on the forums. I'm not totally quitting that type of stuff. I'm just not going to be doing it as any kind of major release, or anything like that. I've seen some of my past work being used in unsavory ways, and I don't want to be involved in that anymore. Keeping my hobbies personal and between friends seems the best policy.
Also, I've recently been accepted and will be attending the film study program at San Francisco State next fall. With this exciting development, a lot of my time right now is being devoted to my preparation for returning to academic studies after nearly 20 years destroying my brain cells. Like lot's of people who become depressed due to a disability changing their life, I have been doing a fantastic job of making excuses not to follow my (very old) dreams. Well I've had it with feeling sorry for myself. I've got the time, people say I have some talent with editing video and film, so why the heck not?

Good for you, now that was a nice read, if I was you, I would go for it to, good luck.
Best of luck, FF! I hope that you enjoy your study program. :-)
^Ditto. Good luck with your endeavors, and congrats for coming to such a place in your life; sounds like a pretty healthy place to be. All the best!

Great for you! Stick around and keep us updated! Maybe we can find someone to take over the TMP edit?

James T. Kirk: Spock, did we just see the beginning of a new life-form?
Spock: Yes, Captain. We witnessed a birth. Possibly a next step in our evolution.
James T. Kirk: I wonder.
Leonard McCoy: Well, it's been a long time since I delivered a baby. And I hope we got this one off to a good start.
James T. Kirk: I hope so too. I think we gave it the ability to create its own sense of purpose... out of our own human weaknesses... and the drive that compels us to overcome them.
Leonard McCoy: And a lot of foolish human emotions. Right, Mr. Spock?
Spock: Quite true, Doctor. Unfortunately, It will have to deal with them as well.
The Force to live long and prosper will be with you, like diamonds, forever.
Just remember us when you're rich and famous ;)
Good to hear. Good luck.
Thanks for the support everyone. I am quite excited about this.

I've been in film school for three and a half years now, and all I have to say to you is this:
It's incredibly rewarding, but so much hard work. Go in with an open mind, and try to do as much as you can (direct, write, edit, do sound work, and anything else you can) before you decide which area you really want to do. When you find that (and you'll know it when you do), and you start focusing on it, it'll stop feeling like work.
Good luck, FF!
My thoughts exactly Chainsaw, do as much as you can and people will eventually take notice...unless you are the resident film geek. ;)
Go FF!!
