This promotional video’s producers aimed to promote all the great things that come from volunteering. Nicely done.
Recently we were asked to produce 5 short videos for the Department of Planning and Community Development to feature on www.volunteer.vic.gov.au.
Each video focused on a different volunteer group and aimed to promote all the great things that come from volunteering.
Videographer gets an eye-full at the portland zoo. Disturbing but an amazing catch, nonetheless.

Lion Tries To Eat Baby Through the Glass at the Oregon Zoo in Portland
International Center of Photography director, Willis E. Hartshorn, steps down after 18 years. I took color printing and b/w photography at ICP back in 2000. I remember producing a nice photograph of a beautiful young lady and being told by my teacher that it was a nice shot but I had an easy subject matter. I did not take this as criticism; instead (even 12 years later) I use it to complement photo subjects when they admire my work.

Is Tumblr the new Kleenex?
Just like “Kleenex” has become a culturural synonym for “tissue,” will “Tumblr” become an interchangeable term for “blog?”
According to Google, there will be more people searching “tumblr” than “blog” by the end of 2012.

When I use videography to document my family’s participation in the Living Building Challenge, I have been asked to focus on the 20 imperatives that must be met in order to qualify for Living Building Certification. One idea I have is to produce a short youtube video showing what can be done to meet each imperative (1 video for each of the 20 imperatives).

Beyond LEED: Living Building Challenge 2.0 Certification Unveiled
This week the International Living Building Institute released its new green building standard to the public at Greenbuild 2009. Version 2.0 expands on its focus to now cover social issues – any Certified Living Building must be net-zero energy, net-zero water, non-toxic, provide for habitat restoration on sister sites, and urban agriculture is mandated. The 20 imperatives, all of which must be addressed, go well beyond the simple efficiency standards that our industry seems content to comply with before calling a project ’sustainable’.
I’m a Portland videographer preparing to document my family’s participation in the Living Building Challenge. Can terraculture to help feed the world without destroying it? Jonathan Foley spells it out in this ted talk.

Clemens Wirth shows us what’s in one drop of water. Yes, all of This was all through one drop of water. We hold worlds of life on the tip of our fingers.
I have never been so engaged with wonder and horrified at the same time. If I could come up with a word that encompassed these emotions, I would use it now.
The setup:
A 5dmarkII on tripod was attached to a monocular microscope with an adapter.
Time to buy a monocular microscope!
Videographer's 30-day Challenge (15 seconds videos)
It’s important for videographers and creative people to create personal assignments and a 30-day challenge is a great way to experience something new while still leaving space for the day-to-day projects that take up the majority of our time.
(via: jugglernorbi)
Last week I gave myself the challenge of posting a 15 second video every day for the next 30 days.
Why 15 seconds? It is both short and long. The challenge of finding 15 seconds of interesting material to present everyday is quite a challenge, I can’t just always film a flower for 15 seconds. But at the same time it is incredibly hard to say everything you want to say in only 15 seconds…
I’m currently a week into the challenge and will be continuing throughout April, I hope you will enjoy following my short clips. They are all on my Vimeo page and I have even placed them all in one album, here.
You can also follow along with a lot of extra added details, on my other Tumblr: 15430.tumblr.com
Cluster Processing and Final Cut Pro
Videographers in the edit room, time to set up cluster processing. Here’s how:

Successfully setup clustering and processed a batch of videos at a 1/4 faster. Cluster between my Hackintosh, the latest Mac Mini, and a Macbook Pro 13”.

Videographer reveals dancing fluid as art … finding the extraordinary in the ordinary (ordinary, so long as ferrofluid is a household name for you).
via: solsticeretouch:
Dancing Fluids Look Like A Work Of Art
Fluids that dance in such a way that it leaves you completely hypnotized, especially set to beautiful music.
Like a music video for the scientifically minded, the short film below explores the unusual world of ferrofluid, a liquid which acts a lot like a gelatinous magnet. The second installment in an ongoing series of experiments, the film was made by Singapore based photographer/videographer Afiq Omar, who edited it with a distinctly dark and rhythmic style that’s as intriguing as it is creepy. Omar’s goal was to create something using ‘analog’ effects, so what you see here uses few modifications after shooting, showing the utter weirdness of his subject material and his talent as a videographer.
