If you're not in a big hurry, my last column running in Videomaker
Magazine (I resigned my contributing editorship to concentrate on my new
product (www.starteditingnow.com) - will appear in the October 2006
issue - and is (drumroll please) a step-by-step tutorial on making
ghosts appear in your Halloween videos!

Whoops, sorry that's FALL FESTIVAL videos for those of you in schools or
other institutions who are proscribed from mentioning pagan holidays.;)

Should hit the news stands in about a month.
