oe Fugate asked that I do a What’s Neat This Week on
Ken Patterson and what I’ve been up to.
You’ve got to figure I have five different ads running each month
for Bachmann with photos in the various scale magazines, N,
HO, ON30, O 3 rail and 1:20.3 F scale. Add to that a What’s Neat
video and story each month, plus I am producing how-to videos
to sell on my web site, you could say I’m swamped.
I've spent the past year learning video editing, and am
working aggressively to produce true-to-life video that
matches the standards I set for myself in still photography.
The learning curve has been pretty fast, as you can visu-
ally see the difference from the first Mike Budde video in
November compared to the one running this month.
It was the Butch Eyler shoot where I filmed a few outdoor
run-bys in sunlight for the first time. This shoot turned into
an exercise in switching, complete with coupler clash. Nice,
but it was missing real sunlight in the modeled scenes. In
the upcoming Dave Davis and Joe Steimann "What’s neat
this week," model run-bys are all shot outdoors. DCC with
