Yesterday my nieces and nephews braved the cold weather and went sledding. The fact that we couldn’t find any sleds didn’t stop them. They made use of Grandma and Grandpa’s snowshovels instead.

Hawaiian Moments
Just to warn you…this video is not for the faint of heart. If you are prone to seizures, I’d reccomend not watching this one. It’s a video of most of the photos taken during my Hawaii trip (not all 772 are in the video). And yes, they are all still photos. There’s no video clips in this.
Aloha Hawaii
Here is a video that I just finished. As I mentioned in an earlier blog post about my Hawaii trip that more photos and video were on their way. Well, here is a video. I enjoyed editing and color grading this one but am glad to have it done. The photos are still on their way. Enjoy.
Italy Book
In July 2010 I ended my study abroad in Switzerland and traveled down to Italy where I met up with my sisters, Joella and Natalia, to take a 2 week giro d’Italia. While there we decided we should make a book of our pictures so we can remember it. Here we are almost two years later and I have finally done it (thanks to a little bit of a push from my sister). It was a fun trip down memory lane and I can’t wait to go back to Italy again. My wife also decided that we need to make a book about our memories of Switzerland together. So that will be another project coming up that is two years late. Here are a few samples of the photos and layout for the Italy book.
Hawaiian Cinemagraph
Recently I discovered a website that I thought was really cool. It’s cinemagraphs.com. The thing I really like about this is that these are not just your typical animated gifs. These instead are great photographs that have subtle movements isolated to only one area which places an emphasis on the subject. So I thought I’d give this a try. This image is not necessarily the best photo, but this was more for me to learn the technical aspects of this. Thanks to Christal and Dora for being my models for this scenic cinemagraph in Hawaii.
A Cars Chrismas
This is a quick film I did with a few of my family members over the Christmas break. We put on our own family film festival and split into four teams and each created its own film. We each only had one week to come up with an idea, film it, and edit. Then we all got together one night and laughed at everyone’s awesome films. They all turned out great and it was fun to do. Thanks to everyone that participated. Here is my team’s short film.
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.
