Just a reference...

... for future stuff.  What a dork (not me, this guy).

What I am working on now...

... is trying to finish up my senior project as much as I can before school starts.  We are working each week with a new farmer for the Farmer's Market episode and we will probably feature 3 to 4 farmers in the episode and their thoughts on community and what the farmer's markets mean to them.

We met Ralph Steele the first day of the Provo Farmer's Market and I instantly knew that we would be filming eventually.  He has a small farm down in Santaquin and has been around chickens his whole life.   He was very kind and led us around for a good two hours talking to us and showing us what he does.  You will get to know his story a bit more through the final doc.  I will be editing a ton for this over the next few months.  Anyways, he is there every Saturday and his eggs are the best.  Check them out.

Here is the teaser.

My new favorite video...

... for right now.  I love this stuff.  So everyday, so clever, so great.

Let's see if you can figure it out.

I have been impressed lately...

... with Henry David Throeau.  You know, the guy that went and lived in the woods in a cabin by the lake for like a year and then wrote a book about it.  Yeah, that guy.  He had some neat ideas, like this one:

"Most of the luxuries and many of the so-called comforts of life are not only not indispensable, but positive hindrances to the elevation of mankind."

How interesting.  Besides being a philosopher and talking about man's constant need to minimize the "luxuries" and find what is truly important he was also a political activist (which I have been feeling recently).

"I ask for, not at once no government, but at once a better government"

I think that my mom would even like him.  He said that his "nose is [his] most predominant feature" which I know that she loves.  

Anyways, I should read some of his stuff.  On the list is Walden and Civil Disobedience.  

Someday...

... I will edit like this and shoot like this.  I love this style.  I takes you into what somebody is feeling and experiencing and it creates an experience vicariously.  Almost like remembering something.  So cool.

Came across this today...

... and I thought, "What if our modern day government did PR like this? How would this affect people and cause them to change?" I think that it worked in the past and though times are very different, something so cutting and didactic might just do the trick. What do you think?

Also, if you don't collaborate in a car pool already, take this example and start car sharing.

Just some videos...

... for reference.
