I’m sure you all are familiar with the maxim that in a given task the first 90% takes half the time and the last 10% take the other half; well that’s certainly proving to be the case with sycning Damon and Hunter’s footage!

Yesterday I was able to sync the primary camera (about 1200 feet), and this morning I was up bright and early with a full head of steam, ready to work on the secondary camera (about 800 feet.) But by 2:00 this afternoon, my eyes were crossed and my lids were droopy. I went into the den (where my wife was working) to complain and look for sympathy and ended up falling asleep till supper time.

It’s not Damon and Hunter’s fault. They are hot and beautiful; in fact I didn’t sleep much last night because I was so excited by everything I worked on yesterday. But the secondary camera (run by Mrs. C) is our reverses and close-ups camera, so a lot of the footage is tightly framed on cyclical action (in other word, cocksucking and buttfucking.)

When you’re syncing this kind of material it’s very easy to end up phase-shifted (the cock going in and our matches, but it’s the wrong in and out.) You end up looking for tiny details like whether or not Damon’s calf is above or below Hunter’s shoulder tattoo. As I said before this is tedious, detail oriented work, even when the action is beautiful.

I did manage to grab a couple of nice frames that I hope you’ll enjoy.
