PressPausePlay directed by David Dworsky & Victor Kohler might be the best documentary I have seen in years if not ever! It addresses the gamut of issues that affect anyone who is producing art today. Wow!
“…Does democratized culture mean better art or is true talent instead drowned out? This is the question addressed by PressPausePlay, a documentary film containing interviews with some of the world’s most influential creators of the digital era”
Around every New Year I like to take inventory of my career path. I always seem to refer to Maslow’s Hierarchy of needs pyramid for guidance. If you are not familiar with this study and you are too lazy to click through then you should know that Maslow conducted a landmark study that describes the stages of growth in humans. It is most identified with the pyramid he created to represent his findings.
I thought it would be fun to create a ”Videographer’s Pyramid” that would better represent those of us working in New Media but more specifically in the videography profession. From the basic “Deficiency Needs” that form a solid foundation, to the higher “Being Needs”, where you build your self/brand image, where do you think you fall? Have a look and feel free to give some feedback via our Facebook page.
As it turns out I am still focusing on the “Safety” needs. I hope that sometime during the course of this year I can shift to the “Love & Belonging” needs. God knows I need friends : (

I have been to Art Basel three times but this year there was an energy that was very different. From the large venues like Scope, to the indie galleries like Fountain, to the streets of the Design District, it felt like everyone everywhere was simultaneously absorbing as well as radiating positive vibes.
The Wynwood Walls were the single most incredible collective art project I’ve ever witnessed, the art was amazing! And as expected the after hours events left me worn out until well into the next day.
This was the first time that I wasn’t on assignment at Art Basel so I could move at my own pace and without all my equipment. The only thing I carried was my 7D. I didn’t even take extra batteries nor did I carry my external audio recorder. But I got to say that it was worth it traveling as light as I did. Shooting was almost an after-thought and I think that comes across in this cut, jus’ like dem New Pop days of old.

In this Episode of pluggedin Luna Vega and I decided take on the G+ vs. Facebook debate. Our guests panel included Bianca Bosker of the Huffington Post, Brian McDaniel of bkmacdaddy.com Dean Levitt of madmimi.com and Jay Baer of convinceandconvert.com
All shot with laptop cameras using Google+ hangouts, I took what was a 40 minute debate and edited it down to 6 key minutes of points and counterpoints. if you are interested in seeing the entire debate you can via our new live stream feed.
Editing in this style is the closest thing to painting that I have ever done. It involves creating multiple layers of video and sound weaved together in a way that allows you the viewer to gain a better understanding of the issues and at the same time gain an appreciation for the lo-fi beauty that is video chat.
So sit back and enjoy our lovely experiment, and don’t forget to vote for the person you think gave the winning argument on our Facebook link.
Thanks
