Choosing a President
This presidential campaign has been two years in the making and the political landscape has changed a lot over those two years.
Reckless Willie
Willie Chapman has 10 kids in 3 states and he’s 40 years old. Professional boxing matches are still his main income and also the only way he can pay child support to see his kids. Because of his age and losing record, Nevada may not license him to fight anymore. Willie also shows signs of dementia, most likely caused from continued brain trauma caused by boxing.
Leaving Las Vegas
I’ve accepted a job at the New York Times and I will be joining Andrew DeVigal and his all-star interactive team.
Scriptwriting with Celtx
Over the last couple of months, I’ve fallen in love with a little piece of software called Celtx. Celtx is a free program geared at pre-production.
US 95 South of Boulder
Five miles south of Boulder City, right off US-95, you’ll find a dry lake bed. On Independence Day, the dry lake bed fills with campers, trucks, cars, families and fireworks. Lots of fireworks.
Death Valley 121°
That’s not water, it’s heat. This was shot at one of the lower points in Death Valley where the temperature reached about 121°.
Wordle
Wordle, a Java applet, creates custom word clouds out of any text, list etc. You can also enter in your del.icio.us username to have it create a cloud.
Remember Last Night
“Remember Last Night” is a short film I did as an undergrad for class. This was one of the first pieces I ever shot and edited. I think it was done about eight years ago, and DV was fairly new to the market (yeah, it’s that old).
