Day 23 - where's daddy?
Here's my contribution for the NaVloPoMo videoblogging game 30 Days 30 People 30 Videos. The challenge? Each person draws inspiration from the video created the day before. In Mike Moon's video, he appears and disappears a time or two, and his familiar backyard scene keeps jumping around. That reminded me of my busy work and travel schedule, and how I might be constantly appearing, disappearing, and reappearing again to my kids. Hence, I appear and disappear a bunch in the video, which is set to echoey music. Special thanks to the crow who somehow chirped in time to the beat.Posted 3 months ago
Day 07 - Obstructed (happily)
Mike's video yesterday rather spookily echoed my 6th November. Both the video and the day's experiences gave me conflicting feelings of possibility and limitation, excitement and frustration. Thanks Mike. Good luck to Miguel.Published 4 months ago
Day 05 - Sequence 47
Here’s the chain of though that led to this video. I started by writing down some things that interested me in Heath’s video. One of those was the closeup of his eyes. That made me think of the scene in 2001 where David Bowman goes into the monolith. I’ve been listening to The Flaming Lips a lot lately and I thought the end of Silver Trembling Hands and the beginning of Virgo Self-Esteem Broadcast would make a cool alternate soundtrack. My original idea was to have Aren (the robot from Talkbot.tv) just say something funny at the end but I’d been listening to the Glee soundtrack all day and I thought it would be better if I could somehow work in one of those tracks. The best one is their version of Journey’s Don’t Stop Believing which, I realized, is the song that they used in the last scene of The Sopranos. And that fits perfectly with the Walt Whitman poem that Heath used. All of that happened in my head in about a minute after not coming up with an idea all day.Posted 4 months ago
Day 04 - Answer
It’s day 4 of NaVloPoMo and it’s also day 4 of the NaVloPoMo vlogging game, 30 vlogger 30 days. Or is it 30 days 30 vloggers. Or is it something else completely? Shrug. Anyway yesterday Dennis made a post, the day before that it was Rupert and the day before that it was Adrian. Each video builds on the previous video in some way in some form. Tomorrow Verdi will do a video built in some way on mine today and so on and so on. I have to say I like this video, it was actually my second choice but I think I like this more than my orginal idea. Every once in a while I like to show you all that I can do more than just create goofy, funny, talking head, baby video’s. Nothing wrong with any of those mind you, I enjoy those as well…but it feels good sometimes to go outside of my self imposed box and do something different. The music is the Greatest Story Every Told The poem is of course by Walt WhitmanPosted 4 months ago

Day 17 - Time...For A Dog Walk!
Dog Walk is my contribution to NaVloPoMo The idea is to do a video that was inspired by the previous days video. I followed Cheryl Colan and was inspired by her use of windows, leaves and a morning face. This inspired me to imagine waking up to the big trees outside my bay windows and needing to take the dog out. Go figure. This was a great test for me as it really set into gears the task of quick script writitng, shooting, editing and my limited HTML all within a few hours to keep the game going for the next person...Good Luck Ernie! I'm happy with the final piece as time allowed, but somehow the aspect ratio got botched with bad settings when I imported from iMovie HD. Clark Park has one of the few, if not only statues in the world, of Charles Dickens.Published 3 months ago

Day 26 - Rituals - Animated GIFs
It’s NaVloPoMo ([Inter]National Vlog Posting Month), and this year, thanks to Rupert, a month-long video-chain has been created in lieu of the traditional post-a-video-a-day-all-month insanity. This year, vloggers were asked to sign up for a particular day during November and, based on the video that came before theirs, make and post something for that day. I chose American Thanksgiving, 26 days into the vlogging festivities. After viewing Trine’s NaVloPoMo video, I started thinking about the rituals we perform to mark moments in time. This Thanksgiving, I didn’t get to see my extended family, and, to my surprise, I found myself particularly missing those traditions that happen year after year. So I decided to document a few little rituals that took place on my holiday: baking, opening the window to the unusually empty street, a long day watching TV specials (this year, a “Band of Brothers” marathon that I only occasionally partook in). I’ve also been thinking quite a bit about loops lately, and of course the very notion of rituals or traditions implies a loop or cycle, a way of passing on heritage from one generation to the next. These little documents then became loops in the form of animated GIFs - a departure from conventional vlogging, I know, but it seemed the most appropriate form for these little moments to take. It’s an idea I’d like to explore more - animated GIF as documentary. Next up: Brook Hinton!Posted 3 months ago
Day 24 - NaVloPoMo 2009 Day 24
The Yahoo Videoblogging Group’s “30 videos by 30 Vloggers in 30 Day” Challenge is that each person draws inspiration from the video created the day before. I was intrigued by all the chopping and changing in recent videos from Mike Moon and David Lee King, but I wanted to pick that up and show that change is a vital part of survival. And I wanted to celebrate Darwin, today at least.Posted 3 months ago

Combat Wombat live at spectrum
I actually made it out to a gig on a Friday night - this is one of my favourite Sydney bands Combat Wombat - they're on my fav Sydney label, elefant traks. they're partly a subversive, hip hop, outdoor party band, & have been running a traveling vege-oil & solar powered van & crew called the "Lab Rats Solar Sound System" which traveled the outback and brought music & mayhem to various outback & Indigenous Australian towns for many years - before the cars were talking about being converted. http://www.myspace.com/labratssolarpoweredsoundsystem Combat Wombat at the Curse ov Dialect album launch 27/11/2009 http://www.elefanttraks.com/chooser.cfm?view=artists&artistId;=81 http://blip.tv/file/2904562Published 3 months ago
