Presentation Zen: ‘Kicking Cancer’s Sorry Arse’

Author/ Blogger Garr Reynolds says our Lance Armstrong Foundation End of Year video is “the kind of video presentation that gets noticed, remembered, and moves people toward action. You can’t watch this and not want to be part of the cause.” Read the whole thing. And go watch the video.

Seoul, South Korea

Wilson just arrived in Shanghai for the travel show film shoot, but here are some photos from Seoul.

Last Day in Japan

Our last day in Tokyo was a breezy one, ended with rain, but successful. We filmed at a cool design store that had vintage furniture and unique designs by the owner. It’s called Meister. We wrapped up the day shooting b-roll around the city and ended the night with some shots at the hotel and bar featured in Lost In Translation.

Tokyo, Day 2

Another post and some photos from Wilson….it’s 1am now and I’m downloading the video from today. Big day today. We went all over the city and captured footage for our featured restaurant and bar. The restaurant and bar were cool… a very nice head chef/owner of the Maru, the restaurant. Montoak, the bar, was swanky. I ate a hamburger there. It was not sushi or sashimi. It was totally cooked and it was GOOD.  

Five Emmys for PBS Series

Preparation

Tomorrow, we leave our small world in Austin, Texas, and fly to Brussels, Belgium to take the first baby steps in the life of a new film project.  We don’t know exactly what to expect, but it’ll definitely be interesting and enlightening. Keep us in your thoughts as we cross the Atlantic. In a few days, other members of the team will be flying to London, for another film project. We’ll all try to post something a lot more substantial after we arrive and get the lay of the land. In the meantime, I’m discouraged by the fact that I took an ambien pill 20 minutes ago with no effect whatsoever. I even cut off the caffeine intake early today. Ahh, well, I’ve got a few books I could re-read. Yeah, that will really help me sleep.
