2025 Week 04 – Small Tasks Manifest Large Complex Dreams
We named the building “Rockwell No. 8” out of our partnership with legendary B-Girl Honey Rockwell and her Rockwell Dance Academy. My brothers, some good friends and I did the remodel ourselves. It seems like it was just yesterday that we were moving the furniture in our dining and living rooms to create film studio sets in my house. We didn’t have microphones then but kept shooting podcast episodes. I knew I needed to learn on the fly so couldn’t be scared to try or struggle. I begin using Adobe Premier more than Photoshop or Illustrator. I became a weekend warrior. So many small tasks were completed weekly. The weekends and even after work hours were scheduled for shoots and event coverage. When the COVID pandemic hit, we had episodes stored waiting to be launched. The small task of shooting and learning on the fly prepared us. When the opportunity came to move production to a 1050sq ft space, we were prepared. We worked nights at Walmart years ago after college learning to strip and wax floors, so we had no problems redoing the warehouse floors. Small task prepared us. We had developed a process to shoot 4 or more episodes per day so only needed to film one weekend per month. The vision for 8 Robinsons TV and Rockwell No. 8 continues to unfold, one small task at a time.
