Here's a little something I threw together while I was messing with some of the Bike Jerks footage. Thanks to Roxanne for being my associate producer and to Jeff for organizing this whole thing. We're going to be shooting some more this weekend - I'll keep you posted.

I'm shooting a short video for Bike Jerks (with Choice's help). I'll post it up here when it's finished - hopefully by the end of the month.
"Delicious autumn! My very soul is wedded to it, and if I were a bird I would fly about the earth seeking the successive autumns."
-George Eliot
George Eliot was a female writer in Victorian England who used a male pen name to be taken seriously. Which is to say - she lived a lie and her writing is not to be trusted. However, in the spirit of optimism I'm attempting to adopt towards the change in seasons, I'm willing to give her the benefit of the doubt. Here's to you, autumn.
These past couple of weeks, I've been helping out John Forde of Mental Engineering with the new set he has been building. He's designed a portable set that folds out of a box the size of a refrigerator, complete with its own lighting grid. I've been working on the portable control room element - the four camera switcher setup that records the show and reminds me of the Bad News Bears. This ragtag collection of equipment includes broken e-bay cameras and cables from Ax Man, and is currently held together with gaff tape and prayer.
