A very neat technique...

... that would be fun to play with. I wonder how it would work?

This is why I love Africa...

... and so many other developing countries. They take what they have and they just make it work. They do it themselves. They are a great example to me. I was really touched by this short documentary and the quality of the story. I love it. You should definitely watch it.

It is from a firm called m ss ng p eces. Really good stuff.

I am back...

... and I hope to keep writing on this blog. I am sorry for the leave of absence. A lot has happened in the past two months.

My last post was about how we found out we were having twins and the videos accompanying that surprise. Since then I have graduated from BYU with a degree in Media Arts and a minor in International Development. While looking for jobs I applied to one in Orem and got it. The company is called Unicity and they specialize in producing nutritional supplements and marketing them. You can see their YouTube Channel and watch some of the videos that they have made in the past. I will be working with a very talented group of individuals (motion graphics guru, talented writer/director/producer and an awesome DP/colorist). I was hired to help them make spotlight videos or short docs of stories from normal people along with helping with everything else. I will be learning a lot and trying to perfect my storytelling more. My friends and I are also forming a company that specializes in short docs as web promotion tools. We have worked with a few clients and are looking forward to working with more. We are excited about the prospects that this might bring and hope for the best. More on that later.

Other than that, things are really well. I have decided to let Becky do most of the blogging and to use my blog as a resource to myself to highlight great videos I see and ideas that I have as well as highlight work that I do to share that with the few of you who actually look at this thing. So, to see my work and what I am interested in, you are in the right place. To see more of my family life, check out Becky's Blog (it is really good and she posts every day).

Thanks for your support and we look forward to 2011!
