An Expert on my Field

Hello every one!
Today I present a great film editor (the people who works with the raw footage, selecting shots and combining them into sequences to create a finished motion picture) from USA, is a multiple Oscar winning (three Academy Award wins from six nominations for editing and three for sound mixing). His name? Walter Scott Murch, he has been referred to as “the most respected film editor and sound designer in the modern cinema”.
His work as both editor and sound designer on classic films such as Apocalypse Now, Ghost, The Godfather II & III, and the last movie, Tomorrowland. Has a book In the blink of an eye: A perspective on film editing he discusses something he calls the ‘Rule of Six‘. he describes as a list of priorities. These priorities can be used as a formative plan for your edit or a guideline to follow. The priorities: Emotion, Story, Rhythm, Eye Trace, Two Dimensional Place of Screen and Three Dimensional Space.
I really like the work of Walter Murch, a curiosity: he work stand up, I try it and is really useful!

A Meal I like to Cook for Myself

Hello everybody! I like so much this topic! I don’t cook very good, but I try.



Today I show you a great and simple recipe when you don’t have bread in house (especially on holidays) or in a camping, you only need some flour, salt, oil, warm water, and some kitchen tools like a skillet and fork. This recipe my grandmother taught me, that I call “Grandmother’s bread”.
My grandmother prepared this bread when she lived in the south of Chile, specifically in Coyhaique Alto and Balmaceda, a simple way to prepare bread and the most important, low-cost!

The recipe is:
On a pile of flour put a little oil, salt and warm water, mix the dough, open from the inside, so that the dough can "breathe " and then molding circles skillet size (is similar to a pizza). If you put too much water, put more flour.
Finally put a little oil in the skillet, fry for 2 to 3 minutes on each side and serve the dish. Can be accompanied by sweet things like jams or manjar (especially if it's homemade!) Or salted like ham or cheese.
Try it!

The Story of a Picture



I like this picture, althoug only I appear behind and it is difficult to find me (It seems game "Where's Waldo?", LOL); the photograph was taken by Sergio Guzman of Argnentina during the II Interamerican Scout Moot held between December 27, 2013 to Jaunary 4, 2014 in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil.

Picture show all who were part of the Chilean delegation to this event, more than 200 people, many of them -like me- traveled by bus to reach the place, a big journey because we encountered some technical mishaps and road police stopped us whenever they could to ask for papers that did not exist (that way they took some money) anyway we made it just in time for the opening.

And unforgetablle experience and I hope to repet in the III Interamerican Moot in Cuzco, Peru in 2018 to meet once again with my friends on the continent.
