Video I - "Earthquake Swarm"
Video II - "Earthquake Swarm"
As promised, here are the webisodes that can also be seen here. It's definitely humbling to see the webisodes after the countless hours of research by the producers, 7 days of production, months in post, and finally distribution. All which is translated into something that everyone can enjoy!
Now, I'm off to sleep. Have a great night!

"Earthquake Swarm" and Photo
BIG UPDATE: The National Geographic project, "Earthquake Swarm" that I was an Assistant Camera last semester is going to air on November 5th at 7pm PST. The show will feature insight into the Reno Mogul earthquakes from last year. Including UNR professor commentary and shots around Reno, Nevada!
Check it out here.
According to the producers that I worked with, the Nat Geo website will also feature video webisodes as the November 5th air date nears.
If you have the National Geographic Channel be sure to tune in!
People wanted to know what I've been up to lately. Basically, I have been shooting photos and video all around the Reno area. As well as pushing around ideas for a gut wrenching, in your face and subsequently makes you think photo portfolio. I've also been illustrating fun little projects for friends as well as myself.
My photo instructor gave an outstanding speech today that can only be summarized as "thinking outside the box." Sure, this statement has been used an infinite amount of times. And I'll admit, it's tough to think outside the box. Anyway, here is a video thinking along those lines as well as a social commentary on the future of print journalism:

Have a great week!

Travel Summer 09
I apologize to all those who have emailed me (Aunt Paula especially!) as I haven't replied as promptly as I would have liked. But I've been extremely busy since May. Working on personal projects and editing video. So have no fear, I'm back!In May, I went to Kansas. The “Heartland of the U.S.A.” and the childhood home of Superman. My sister had invited me to drive home to Nevada with her after her last final. Having had a taste of adventure last summer, I definitely could not pass another travel opportunity. Therefore having found that a certain airline was having a special one-way ticket deal. I bought my ticket, packed a couple of cameras (i.e. my DSLR and a point-n-shoot) as well as a small bag of clothes.
I was ready for a Midwest adventure. 72 hours later, I was in Kansas City!
Here's a small sample of photos...
Waiting to board my flight.
Cornfields greeted us until Wyoming.
It took us around 3 days to get home.

National Geographic, Pentel, and May
It’s early Monday morning and the sweet sounds of the Across the Universe soundtrack are blazing through my cheapo ipod earphones. The faint echo of flamenco music from Spain also is audible from one of my roommates’ computer downstairs. Did I mention, I love my roommate’s taste in music?Well, things have been a little busy in my ‘parte del mundo’. For one, I received a call and then was hired from New York City to PA/grip for a National Geographic production ---we had an excellent and efficient crew---Thank you producers, sound, and lighting. Thank you Andrea for that pen! It saved my life! If you’re curious and happen to be watching either World News Tonight or Medical Minute on your local ABC affiliate on April 20, 2009, you can see the segment (that I was a production assistant/grip for) that was shot at the medical school in Reno. You can also see the article HERE or a high quality version HERE. It was a short piece that was shot by my boss as well as gripped by a co-worker as well as myself at in the engineering building. Here's the youtube version that is posted on the New York Times.com.
If you followed my blog or have seen my sketchbook that I kept while I was in Spain, then you know that I used a special pocket brush pen, the Pentel kind. Well, my inventory of ink cartridges is pretty much depleted! I knew I should have bought 100 Euros worth. Fortunately, I found a website that is based out of the U.S. that sells the ink refills! If you want a good quality pen with good customer service check out Jetpens.com.
Hasta,

2009: An Aesthetic Odyssee
Yes, 2008 has ended. Good-bye, sayonara, buuneduah! 2008 was definitely a year that was all about change. A change that effected everything from politics to my new found interest in seafood and love for travel! But that's besides the point. The fact is, it's 2009 and I'm actually, physically, typing on my mac blogging! If my late brother were still around, RIP 2008, he'd call me and tell me to update this blog more often...pronto! Well little brother, I'm online and typing.
A project that I directed is finally published online. Three other students and myself had the unique opportunity to work together with the University of Nevada, Reno Digital Initiatives Office to produce a video for the unr.edu website. It was the first video of its kind to be published for the homepage and in the process we made some history by producing it. The project was edited and finished in December and was supposed to be published in that same month but the date was pushed back to January, roughly the time the campus was to be back in session for the spring semester. We were fortunate to work with a swell group of cyclers from the UNR Bicycle Club. The interview content translated into a good documentary hopefully for you guys (the viewers) you'll find it entertaining and informative. Its humbling to see your work posted online and also to hear feedback from professors, students, alumni, and random people from around the area. If you're curious, you can see the video on the main homepage (as of this writing) here and here.
Moving along, I'm 98.1% finished with a free-lance illustration project I've been collaborating on with another young professional. You might know his work and you can check him out on his blog Calvert Photography. Before I layed down the first frame, I did some research on classic cartooning styles. Think Craig Thompson combined with Eisner and Scott McCloud. When I look at the finished product, it feels very clean and precise. If I could, I would illustrate all day!
Well, with the 2 1/2 hours remaining for today, I better get back to offline world and creating new and innovative aesthetic content for 2009.
