Re-Vlog :: WalkingMan :: Net Cinema Poetics

Play Quicktime Version

Guys over @ Taylor Street Studio, Soluble Fish, and Joel Sugarman are making stuff together.

Elegantly done, fellas.

Methinks this was all shot on cell phone.

Video, moving, & mapping for purposes of storytelling.

Streamlined, real-time-to-web, yet long-lasting film making.

This is IT; this is what excites me for development, production and marketing stories.

What kinds of stories can we really 'see' and ' hear' when delivered and taken in from a web site, cell phone, or iPod?

This kind of film making reminds me of Michael Figgis' cutting-edge "Time Code" -- one of my favorite films.

Figgis is a good pianist.

Found Will Leurs' project from his comment over @ one of Ted Hope's blogs that 'reviews' Twitter. I've written about Ted's Twitter Review post earlier.

Last Words


They are very good in my humble estimation.

Please check them out @ MySpace.

Over on Facebook, Paul writes:

Anyone know someone with too much money and not enough deductions that might be interested in helping me get out of this lifestyle? If you do, call me.

He also writes:

I am looking for a way to help people pay more attention to the little details in life.

Can anyone help him?

Deepak Chopra on Seesmic :: Meditation

Meditation

This is an ongoing conversation on meditation started by Deepak Chopra @ Seesmic.

Chopra's giving it away over there and yet, I'm guessing he's doing as well or better in his making a living having given it.

Amy's Film "The Guitar" Opens in NY, NY

Amy Redford's "The Guitar" makes its theatrical debut this week @ THE SUNSHINE CINEMA | 143 East Houston Street | NY, NY.

The trailer's fabulous, as were Amy and Saffron to work with.

HERE is the movie website.

This is the description of the movie from the email:

"The Guitar" is the story of one woman's spiritual, emotional and creative transformation. After being diagnosed with a terminal illness, fired from her thankless job and abandoned by her boyfriend, Melody "Mel" Wilder (Saffron Burrows) blows her savings and maxes out her credit cards to pursue her dreams. The life affirming experiences she encounters on her voyage transform her irrevocably.

Would love it if Amy and the movie had a blog, like Raymond does...

RE-Vlog :: From Utilikilts

This feature requires installation of the free Flash Player. Click here to install the Flash Player

Daughtershow posted a video of her bagpiping pal recently re-vlogged in this space. Nothing like some morning bagpipes to start the day right.

Sexy, too.

This video is from the place that manufactures a modern-day kilt, known as the 'utilikilt'.

Hoping I copied the embed code from the Utilikilt site properly so it will play here. Fingers crossed...

Rebecca? Where's that darned portrait of me n' Raymond in our robes? Get that shite up, yo!

Copped this image from Raymond De Felitta's blog to upload here so show them (in part) how a City Island Flickr account could benefit them.

Photo by Cecelia B (I think). Her Mum and Da are so proud.

Folks will be able to easily blog this image if they wish.

Easily touched and shared.

Come play with us over @ Flickr.

POST NOTE: Here's a link to someone who knows Cecelia B: CLICK ME!.

I don't know the copyright status of the enclosed, pilfered image. Were the image hosted @ Flickr, that would be obvious. I lean toward setting these things free to the blogosphere.

Lovely portrait, no?

Bwah-hahahaha. "City Island" Blooper

Yes, we're getting really good tracks.

Yes indeed.

Many compromises and imperfections, but...it's all there (mostly).

Tired but satisfied.

Greek in proportion.

Make Media Any Time, Any Where w/Seesmic as tool

Posted earlier the beginning of a conversation about my process of being part of "City Island" with Seesmic as conversational film making tool.

It's been a while since I played @ Seesmic, but their player - to which one may reply in video without ever leaving my page - brilliant - has grown up. Come of age.

All you need is a webcam, Camtwist, and a Seesmic account.

Everybody on set's got one.

Most sets have wi-fi.

Show folks what's what in 3 minutes or less.

It's really fucking easy.

We're all film makers, damnit. Superior technicians.

Why wouldn't we make media?

The question is: can we do it right? Will production trust us with the responsibility? Will something beautiful be made of it one day? What will the unions make of this? Are we not all bloggers / videobloggers / still photographers / prop masters / film makers?

Cheap tools & technology, baby.

Should we not reap benefits from this expanded endeavor all the way around?

Seesmic.

Think high-tech, lo-fi.

Think ubiquitous.

Flickr Leech :: Oh Cool!

Thanks to new vlogger Robert Croma for turning me on to Flickr Leech, where appear thumbnails of all Flickr photos, not just the most recent 200 my non-pro account permits me to see. Even old photos link back to the real photo page that allows comments, notes, and access to permalinks and downloads.

Oh. Yes.

Made my day, as Croma recently often does with his swell comments.
