We Are Using Spanish in Wichita

My Spanish class produced a video to submit for the 2010 Language Learning for Life Video Contest sponsored by Vista Higher Learning.

How to Carve a Halloween Pumpkin

Here is a video I made for a class project. While visiting family for my sister's wedding, I enlisted my dad to carve a pumpkin for a training/how-to video assignment. I still don't have After Effects on my MacBook Pro, so I had to create graphics in Photoshop and animate them in Final Cut. I wish I could have spent more time on developing the graphics, but with my sister's wedding (rehearsal dinner, wedding, reception and travel), my deadline was quickly approaching and I had too much to do in a short time. That sexy voice you hear is mine. Please share this with anyone you know who may not know how to carve a pumpkin. It is a great tradition to share with your kids.

Symphony in the Flint Hills Preview

Today I presented a brief preview of the Symphony in the Flint Hills documentary that I've been working on with Corin Breña, Steven Ludlow and Fletcher Powell. The project is a collection of several self-contained shorter pieces, but I shot an interview with the Executive Director, Emily Hunter, on Thursday that will help bring these pieces cohesiveness. Take a look at this preview. Thanks again to Les Anderson and Amy DeVault for giving us this amazing opportunity.
