Corporate Storyteller
I read this from Seth Godin today, and it’s good. You should ask yourself these 8 questions, especially for those of you in the business world:
And after each answer, ask ‘why?’
I came across this video today. It’s a timed-lapse video of the making of a magazine cover for MacWorld. I found it fascinating because of the sheer amount of work that went into creating this cover graphic. From the shoot to laying out the design in Photoshop, the whole process just exudes excellence.
Next time you start work on a project–any project–think about what it will take to make it excellent.
Yeah, I finally found a video that wasn’t a wedding video shot with the 7D. This is a simple short film called “Old”
A story of broken relationships.
Equipment used:
The quality of this camera continues to amaze me.
This camera continues to amaze me. Here’s another wedding video shot by Ray Roman.
This really a pretty amazing video to be shot on a Digital SLR. In the bio, the filmmakers wrote:
the skinny:
// one cinematographer
// two Canon 7D cams
// four lenses; 50 f1.2, 24 f1.4, 100 macro f2.8, 70-200 f4 non-IS
// one tripod, one monopod, one cinevate pegasus heavy lifter (slider)
// audio was through a tascam and zoom h4n paired with sennheiser ew g2 wireless lavs
//no external lighting was utilized in any of the shots in the final piece. everything was working with what was there.
It’s the last statement that gets me: “no external lighting”. That’s amazing! To have such beauty and quality without tons of lighting gear is truly amazing. That is probably the most appealing aspect of this DSLR footage.
I’m growing more and more fascinated by this DSLR video era that’s coming of age. First, it was the Canon 5D Mark II, but recently, Canon released a more video-friendly Canon 7D that really is quite amazing in low-light.
I’ve created a new blog category called 7D, and I will be posting the videos I find along the way that are shot with this camera or it’s big brother, the Canon 5D, Mark II.
Here’s a music video that was shot with the 7D on a steadicam in one single take. That alone is amazing!
My brother sent me this video. It’s pretty funny. I’ve been on both sides of this fence.
For anyone who runs their own business or if you’re a freelancer, you’ll get a kick out of this:
We finally finished our Doritos 30 second commercial for the Crash the Super Bowl contest.

I’ve included an HD version of the video since the servers are overloaded right now with last minute entries and uploads.
High-quality, Vimeo version
I think I’ve decided to switch my video hosting needs from YouTube to Vimeo.
The pattern I’m seeing is that YouTube is starting to remind me a lot of MySpace — cluttered, buggy, not user friendly, and full of trash. Vimeo feels a lot more like Facebook — clean, structured, user friendly and fun — other than Facebook’s bazillion apps. I hate those things.
Here are a few things I like about Vimeo:
So, I’m making the switch. Here’s the Fissure movie trailer from Vimeo:
As a comparison, here’s the YouTube video of the Fissure trailer:
I always find it fascinating how fast technology is changing. We are in such rapid technological advances, that it’ll make your head spin.
I’m an electrical engineer, coming through college and into the workplace right when computers were become more mainstream and the Internet was on the cusp of something big. This video is a great example of how fast times are changing.
This rapid dissemention of knowledge and information reminds of the following prophetic scripture:
At that time Michael, the archangel who stands guard over your nation, will arise. Then there will be a time of anguish greater than any since nations first came into existence. But at that time every one of your people whose name is written in the book will be rescued. Many of those whose bodies lie dead and buried will rise up, some to everlasting life and some to shame and everlasting contempt. Those who are wise will shine as bright as the sky, and those who turn many to righteousness will shine like stars forever. But you, Daniel, keep this prophecy a secret; seal up the book until the time of the end. Many will rush here and there, and knowledge will increase. (Daniel 12:1-4).
