HBO Films, treehouse editing and documentary ponds.

Jane has agreed to work and complete these (undisclosed) films in this HBO editing treehouse (see images below), but the treehouse situation must be a safe one, says Jane. But why, you are asking yourself? Well, because Janey likes to work very long hours inside of treehouses. Janey also likes to relax and feed all of the wild animals when working on the top of a tree. Janey cannot just "cut corners" like one is meant to "cut film" just because it's a "treehouse" - and OMG Janey has heard of a couple of creepy stories of a couple of treehouses burning down from electrical fires! (and also stories of wild boars pushing hard on the bottom base stump of treehouses). So what are Janey's options for getting electricity into an editing treehouse?

There are generally three options I (meaning ME, meaning Janey) can follow:

• through the air much like the wires that go from the street to many houses directly. Whores and boars cannot reach that high.
• on top of the ground (if not muddy).
• underneath the ground in a conduit (this makes the most sense to moi).

Running overhead wires usually takes a professional electrician and could be expensive. Even if you were on welfare, why bother getting into this kind of a financial dilemma inside of a tree. Forget that nonsense. Running wires on top of the ground is not very practical in the long run, as people (even  swine) may trip. They may get in the way of mowing, etc. The advantage to this is that it avoids trenching and is easiest. I like "easy." Running electric wires underground requires trenching, which must be done carefully so as not to damage the editing tree's roots (unless you are using a giant plastic tree purchased at Home Depot, Stop And Shop or IKEA). The best way is to rent an air spade, which may cost a couple hundred bucks a day (you can pay for this by raising money using KICKSTARTER.COM), but it will minimize root damage. Of course, putting permanent electricity into a treehouse will usually require a permit even if you have adapted a guerilla filmmakers aethetic, but if your tree is not visible to any neighbors who own pigs that are not trained to squeal (meaning RAT YOU OUT) you should be just fine. Just shut up and edit your documentary. BTW JANEY: You can always use an extension cord that can drop down from the editing treehouse to electrify it. Since it can be unplugged, the treehouse may be considered "temporary electric" which does not need a permit. But a wild whore and/or boar could accidently bite into this thing. BYE.

*Jane met with the HBO FILMS family and producer Tim S. et al.
*Jane loved their treehouse editing facility hideaway and has agreed to assist HBO FILMS complete some major pending documentary projects...

* also, Jane loves ponds and spotted an enormous bullfrog during the afternoon treehouse editorial sessions tour.
* Tim edits standing up. Donald Rumsfeld worked only standing up. Studies indicate that standing up is healthier than sitting down. All treehouse editing must be done standing up. I will finish my work being healthier than ever.
