The Ride Along Autoroute 40.

I guess I like to ramble a lot on a video camera when I’m traveling. I have to tweak the autofocus on this new camera. Perhaps the camera was interpreting how hazy my brain was feeling.

from the same area, it’s equally as powerful.

I hate graffiti. While some see beautiful artwork when observing the spray painting on a bridge or side of a building, I usually see vandalism.

On my bike ride along the Erie (Barge) Canal today, I noticed that there’s a lot of graffiti on the bridge supports for the roadways that cross the canal and trail. Most of them amounted to seemingly incomprehensible scribblings, however, two images stood out among the random symbols. This is one of them, the other is on my Flickr account, just click that image and move around my account a little bit to see it.

I also took quite a bit of video which I threw together into one piece to share. I figured out my sound issue while I was filming, so just kind of deal with the minute and half of excessive wind noise. I know better for next time.

The video is about six minutes long and requires Adobe Flash Player.

Getting Witchy.

So I decided to mess around with the video camera tonight, since Earl is out of town and I didn’t have much else to do other than on-call stuff.

You can take a peek at my latest special effects experiment here (requires Quicktime).

Or if you prefer the YouTube version, take a peek here.

“My Wife, The Ghost”

I’ve discovered a lovely little sitcom on YouTube. It’s call “My Wife, The Ghost”. It’s filmed in fabulous black and white and edited in a traditional 50s or 60s style in the likes of “Bewitched” and whatnot. Sure, the premise is a little dark but it’s actually quite fun to watch.

I’m in awe of the production value of the episodes and now I’m totally inspired for my next video project.

Take a peek on You Tube.

Double, Double.


I decided to mess around with the video camera this weekend and try out some ideas I had regarding split screen, among other things. My first attempt isn’t perfect, but it was great learning experience. You need Quicktime to see it, and it’s available here.
