You can probably sense the general warmness of the situations without the knowledge of the precise people or the surroundings that create that mood ... so yes ... I think that makes a lot of sense.

I am curious about one precise person: What's with Waldo? Because he gave me an idea for a city prank.

That was my friend Lee. He made a Waldo costume for Halloween. I think he did a damn good job. We also shot a promo with him in his outfit.

I can sense the jist of a Waldo prank and I'm sure it would be hilarious!

Yes sir it is!

Thank you! I like how you put that

Haha, yeah, that was fun. I think I'm still linking to that video somewhere on onetrick

That's the power of solid Wisconsin genes for ya :)

WE'VE GOT AN ANDERSON COOPER at TWO O CLOCK! MAYDAY MAYDAY!!!

Yes, it was. Randomly saw him after filming 'The Egg' (aka Yolkback Mountain). It was pretty funny. He was short, but intimidating-looking.

NYC is the ONLY place to be! Everywhere else is boring and lame. I have full faith you'll be joining our ranks here soon.

Half was shot with the GL1, and all the stuff at work was shot with a Sony V1U. I basically cheated and scaled up the GL's dv footage to an HD res. Still looks better than normal compression, but you can tell it's not quite as slick as the real hd.

That's what I love about Vimeo. Great videos that look awesomely artistic and professional with useful advice and tips.

... if "Collateral" starred Anderson Cooper and Dad. (wait, that might be awesome ...)

Oh and I thought the same thing when I saw Collateral.

Now that I have a computer that can handle it, I love HD!

Thanks Dre! No video is complete without a minimum if three joyous Lee laughs.

Yeah, the music is always key to these for me. When I find something I think may be a contender, I just play it along with the initial cut-down of the video to see how the two play together. There's a TON of great music for video blogs at mobygratis.com - and it's not illegal to use either! You just have to request the song to get the non-commercial rights to it.

Haha, you're the best, Dalas :)

Ah, nope, that was my friend and co-worker Lee. I'm sure Amir makes a damn fine Waldo too ...

Steve G in the houuussseeee! Thank you!

herehere! or is it hearhear? what is it!?

2nded!

Hey Scott! Great to hear from you.

I much appreciate the kind words. I like the fountain concept. You should def check out mobygratis.com for music.

I actually did one of these in Canada ...

No releases. Most everyone is close friends and family, so I'm not worried :) Plus this isn't for anything commercial, just for me to help remember my life vividly when I get old.

thanks, just checked the video out, it has been a long time since i have seen such powerful editing and interpretations, the backwards unfocused fireworks had big impact on me and having someone in the frame as they happen is profound.

Things i have learned being an emoter / listener, observer, is that people with mental illness can have very seductive personalities and enjoy the attention. People can pass 'things' on to others .... good and bad, be careful please. One of these people in Toronto stabbed a friend of mine in the face between the eyes, left a perm scar from forehead to chin. There is a big big issue up here on homeless and mentally ill people and a lack of funding for proper institutions and the want of certain gov't heads to americanize canadian health care, so this is what we get. People are not properly cared for and left out on the street in the most touristy parts of the city. ... i think vancouver is worse. Not to detract from your work, just an aside.

I have some footage from Halloween in Salem with Geo i need to put together, similar kind of fanatics screaming.

Before vimeo i didn't think there would be a place for me to put personal explorations... so hopefully you will see some stuff from me soon.

here is a few links to some water drinking fountains.

I searched page after page in flickr to find my minds eye image of a drinking fountain with the right water and this is what i found. a combination of a concrete/marble round pedestal fountain clear blurble and an easy stream from a steel pedestal drinking fountain.

listening to some old pink floyd and watching full screen flickr slide show of my search results for water fountain... hundreds of great images... floating by...

and thanks for the Moby music link, I signed up.

Wow! Best comment ever!

The fireworks shot has long been a favorite of mine. This was also shot mostly on a Panasonic, which gives such great image.

I love those drinking fountain shots - thanks again for the epic comment!

Thank you! These are always best to watch with good headphones I find. Makes it easier to feel a part of the scene.

Anderson Cooper ... short ... buff ... scary.

The camera guy filming him yelled at us afterwards for fucking up his shot, hah!

Thank you Jon!!! I respect your skills, so coming from you, high praise!

I do these so I have a sort of record of who I am/was for when I get all old and lame. To prove that at some point, I did cool things.
