Happy Holidays from TexasB-roll.com
Greetings,
ya'll! Two years ago we launched TexasB-roll.com
on the Internet and started generating this newsletter each month.
We've had a lot of fun putting this thing out, learned a lot about
Texas and made quite a few friends along the way. So, as they used
to say, "God willing and the creek don't rise", we're going to keep
it going. Thanks you for your support and interest in this crazy
business of ours in the Lone Star State. Cheers! - Trace

Unusual
Ornaments Help Preserve State Capital
Here’s
a neat Texas addition for your Christmas tree - ornaments designed
as miniature replicas of the gates leading into the Texas State
Capital grounds. This and some other very “Texas” ornament
designs are available online from the Texas Capital gift shop. The
State Preservation Board operates the shop and all proceeds go into
preserving the Capital building and its grounds. The Texas State
Capital in Austin was designated a National Historic Landmark in
1986 for its "significant contribution to American history,"
and is an impressive example of late 19th century public architecture.

Video/Film
Production Humor on TexasB-roll.com
Six
Stages of TV Production (from TexasB-roll.com – Humor page)
1. Wild Enthusiasm
2. Total Confusion
3. Utter Despair
4. Search for the Guilty
5. Persecution of the Innocent
6. Promotion & Reward of the Incompetent.
Laughter
has helped ease the tension in many Production situations. You may
want to strangle a Director, Producer, D.P., Sound Mixer, or whoever
but if you can both laugh at a simple joke, well at least you smiled
once that day! The TexasB-roll.com
Humor page is full of quips, quotes and jokes about the zany business
of television, video, film and multi-media. Go to www.TexasB-roll.com
and click on the Humor button on the left side of the page. Additionally,
we have a similar page on the sister site www.TraceProductions.com.
Check ‘em out and have a laugh with us. Click the “laugh
button” to hear a chuckle from a favorite Sound Tech of ours,
guaranteed to make you smile just a bit. His picture is revealed
at the bottom of the page (has anyone seen this man?). And if you
have a good joke or story to tell about the business, we’d
love to hear it. If it makes us laugh, we’ll put it on line.
Send jokes to humor@TexasB-roll.com

ok too. Just click the link at the bottom of this email and you'll
be removed from the list.
