Visit to @MediaLabYYC

After the SMBYYC, I had a chance to check out MediaLabYYC’s facilities at the Bridge in downtown Calgary. MediaLab is an all purpose multimedia studio, inspired by Youtube Space LA (Toronto, NY, etc). You can go there and record podcasts, and daily Youtube shows, they have lighting, cameras, a green screen and a series of editing computers, plus a booth to do clean sound. I got to Meet Kyle Marshall (MediaLabYYC President) who gave me a brief tour.

#PayItForward with Kevin Kirkpatrick

#Payitforward When I refreshed my lighting kit, I knew the old kit was just going to go in the closet so I decided to give it to another filmmaker. I wanted to reach out to someone who was one light kit away from making movies. so through the @c.s.i.f , I got a message from Kevin Kirkpatrick (differentalphabet) who came over to pick up the gear and we had a brief chat about #film, #indiefilm, #musicvideo and film influences. Check him out!

Short Film: The Window

I had this idea for a double exposure, split screen experiment, and the cat decided he wanted to be part of the film… it became about him.. If that’s not a metaphor for cats in our lives, I don’t know what is.
