Trip to Bainbridge Island

I have a habit of taking video on trips, and then never editing them or posting them.  But not this time!  I took a short trip to Bainbridge Island and Bremerton earlier this week, and brought my new Sony EX1 along to get some more practice with it.  Beach shots are at Fay Bainbridge State Park.  Ferry footage is from the trip home on the Bremerton -> Seattle Ferry.

(Make sure to turn on HD, and full screen it)


Used Final Cut Pro's built in SmoothCam filter on a bunch of the ferry shots, sine the ground was vibrating the whole time.  Worked wonders on most of them but at least one of the shots has some weird jigglyness as a result.

Dinner Spinner Pro iphone App

My first stab at the ubiquitous iphone app demo video, for AllRecipes.com's Dinner Spinner Pro App.  I shot in 1080p and then edited in SD anamorphic, so I was able to zoom in on parts of the frame without losing any quality, helped out a lot in editing.

There's also a 5 minute version, if you just can't get enough Dinner Spinner Pro.

Big Box Ban in Bellingham

I just got a youtube message bringing to my attention the fact that Bellingham is considering partially lifting it's ban on Big Box stores.  I think it'd be too bad if they reversed themselves so quickly after creating the ban, but at least it wouldn't be lifted without conditions.  I made this video in 2007 when the ban was first put in place, but wanted to re-surface it now that the topic is up for debate again...  I was doing videography for the city council meetings on BTV10 at the time so I watched the whole debate unfold in excrutiating detail.  Believe it or not I actually found that job really interesting (most of the time) and would jump at the chance to do it again... call me Seattle Channel!

Kung Fu Joe on DVD

Kung Fu Joe, a feature film I co-edited and helped shoot a couple years ago is finally available on DVD!  It was directed by Glen Berry, the head of the NW Film School in Bellingham (which I attended).  We shot the movie in about 2 weeks back in '08, at various locations around Bellingham.  I was assistant camera on the shoot, and then edited it along with Glen.

KFJ is an action comedy that's chock full of references to classic movies.  I'll be honest... I don't think I've seen a lot of the movies that it references, but it's funny anyways.  So if you're a film buff, or just want to support local filmmaking... check out KUNG FU JOE!

Seattle Sketcher

Shot and edited this video about Gabriel Campanario, AKA Seattle Sketcher for CHS. 

Got a great response from the video, but the best part of the whole thing, for me anyways... was that I'm in Gabriel's sketch
