Here’s a great Torstar article advocating a “…radical reinvention of America’s domestically owned auto industry”: ‘Running out of Options‘. David Olive calls the Detroit Big 3 on decades of mismanagement and deaf ears to consumers &  environmentalists. I...

Click on the image to play video. Almost an all-nighter, but it’s done. ish. I’d love another day to tweak (or another $500 to get somebody else to do it- mixing audio is not where my strengths lie), but I delivered it to josh at 1:30 this morn. When he said I could have till thurs morn to get it...

Next cut is better, remembered a chick showed up half way through the event, and I shot some footage of her hanging by the ring. So what was courtship ritual between the players (in the previous version) now becomes sparring for the right to mate with her. Works like a motha, and NOW loves it. Now the...

I must’ve put in 12 hours on that sucka yesterday. Sent off a rough cut to josh this morn, and he likes it, but is worried about the homosexual insinuations. Is this not NOW Magazine? Are we not gay positive? till it hurts? But regardless of the potential libel suit he’s talking about, I don’t...

So deep into cutting the video of last night’s photo show, when Josh at NOW calls and asks if I’ll go out to Scarborough tomorrow and video-cover the North American Ultimate Fighting Tryouts. FAUCK! I don’t want to say no; it’s the cover story next week, and it this would look great if I was...

This is cool: NOW Magazine has agreed to my proposal for 3 videos on their website. Like so many periodicals, they are seeing the end of the printed page, and are scrambling to make the transition to online. And video is king right now, so they’re looking for cool content. Hello….. I’ll...
