Move by Rick Mereki

How's this for a pitch?  3 guys, 44 days, 11 countries, 18 flights, 38 thousand miles, an exploding volcano, 2 cameras and almost a terabyte of footage.  It sounds like one amazing journey to me, and as cool as the videos that Rick Mereki and his friends produced are, you have to wonder what the actual trips were really like.  Move in essence is just a one trick pony.  But my God, it's a great trick and a beautiful piece of editing.

A Logo For the Moment

I change my blog headers like I change my T-shirts, but therein lies part of the creative vibe that I'm always trying to project on this site.  As I played with some new fonts I pealed away the layers of my old headers to create these simplified variations in an array of colours with an image of me incorporated into the logo.  There's no telling how long this latest badge will stick, but in any case, I'm happy to add another design to my gallery for the time being. 

Vacation Stress Graph

This week is going to be a whirlwind of activity as I work to complete my final edit for Stream Media before I start my holidays.  I can't begin to express how exhausting my summer has been thus far.  I've averaged 11 hour work days for the last 6 weeks, which would be fine if I wasn't still trying to hold onto some semblance of a social life.  I can't begin to express how much I'm craving some free time to do absolutely nothing.

Let the crunch time begin.
