So, my Dad wrote a book. Check it out.

A shorter cut

I've created a version of the Digital Divide Initiative documentary that's about a minute and a half shorter than the previous one. This is what will likely play on the website, while the longer cut will be reserved for DVD distribution.



I can't believe this project is almost over!

Merry Christmas, everybody

Google Maps has just introduced Street View in the Twin Cities. Here's my apartment building:

You can totally see my car on the south end of the street.

One of the projects I've been working on of late has been a short documentary about the Patchwork Quilt Digital Divide Initiative. Much of it has been shot indoors without the use of a lighting kit - I've been experimenting with different ways of sweetening the images. I've also been working on the lower third graphic that will be used throughout the video.

Snowbiking!

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.



Update - Click here to watch the high res version

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.
