Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. So much better than Christmas, Independence Day, Halloween and Valentines. Who wouldn’t love a holiday centered around Food and Football? Oh, and giving thanks and family I guess. This year I shot some video of the day. I even went as far as to run a camera on timelapse in the kitchen while dinner was being prepared. The timelapse shows how frantic and busy the day is while the rest of the video shows how fun and relaxing it can be.

Holiday Animation
At work I was asked to create a short holiday animation for all the employees to see. Basically a little holiday e-card. It was a Calvin and Hobbes comic strip that inspired the idea for it. It’s pretty simple and doesn’t have any sound effects since it was designed specifically for the workplace. But I had fun with it and hope you enjoy. I hope you all have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Peterson Film Festival
This Christmas break I am making my family participate in a Family Film Festival. It’s called the “50 Cents Film Festival” and is presented by Peterson Productions and Swedish Pancakes. Mmm…I love swedish pancakes. The festival will be similar to a 48 Hour Film Fest. But instead of 48 hours we have a week. Another requirement will be that all video must be filmed with a flip video camera since we all received one for Christmas last year.
So to introduce the festival I created this short little video starring my beautiful wife. I had fun creating all the titles for it and the film festival logos as well. Dora designed the awesome poster to go along with everything. I think it will be a lot of fun and can’t wait to see what my family will come up with.
The Boys’ Trip
This summer all of the boys…well, most of us, went on a trip to California. So I strapped on my camera and documented the whole thing. At least the part I was there for in San Diego. These boys are great and we had a lot of fun. Wish we could go back.
The “Girls’ Trip” ain’t got nothing on us.
Washington Getaway
This last summer Dora and I able to go visit my sister Joella in her Washington home. It was great fun. We went whale watching around the San Juan islands and saw Orca Whales. Spent a day in Seattle. Then hung out in Olympia where my sister lives. It was great fun and I made this little film to remember it. Enjoy and thanks Joella.
The Wedding
A few weeks ago I got married. My sister in law took our original engagement pictures and they turned out great. But they just didn’t match the style we were going for. So Dora and I decided to go take some pictures on our own. So we went a few places and I set the camera up on a tripod and snapped our photos with a wireless camera remote. This was the image we used for our invites.
I also made a video to display during our reception. Most of the filming was done by me. And some was done by my sister when we went to visit her in Washington.
