High Line opens

Yeah, it's the new thing-walking on the High Line overlooking the Hudson River and all the new architecture on 10th Avenue. Check it out, even the water-foutains are nicely designed!

48 Hr Film Project

I was listening to WNYC on Friday morning and heard the NYC 48 HR producer David speaking with Brian Lehrer about the project that was to start that evening at 7pm.  I thought, “Damn I missed signing up again”.  I decided I should sign up on the waitlist and then I would at least get notified when the next contest was.  A few hours later, David called me to say there was a cancellation and would I like to join.  I said I’d call him back in 20 minutes, as I had to check. I called my partner, and even though we had to another shoot scheduled for Saturday morning and one scheduled for Sunday morning (a freelancer’s work is never done), no sitters for our 1 and 4 year olds, and a birthday party to attend, we decided to throw caution to the wind and go for it.

It was one of the best, funniest, and most stressful times we’ve had in a long time.  Surprisingly, we are thrilled with our finished project, it’s not perfect, but it actually works well.  We might be biased.  We can’t wait until next year when perhaps we’ll even be more prepared and maybe line up a crew. It was great to see what all the other teams in our group did too. Hopefully we’ll be able to see all the films from New York online as it is so inspiring to think about what can be accomplished when you put your mind to it.  http://www.48hourfilm.com/

Media bistro video class

Karen and I had a great time this weekend teaching 12 hungry students all about video for the web. It was a sold out class and when it was over we got some great feedback. We've been asked to teach it again in august. We'll keep you posted.
