You say it’s your birthday? It was our birthday too. Yep a pile of Aging Aquarians - having a good time. I was late for the parade - yes there really was a parade. But after that, it was time to do some music.
Congrats! Just saw your video-interview with Ryanne! Good stuff!

Ok, I think I have got the fast start fixed, hope you all enjoy this video, inspired in part by Jay Dedman, I call it “Moments”

This week I combined some orphaned video with orphaned audio. Here’s what came out.
hey, what a nice video! great that the “orphans” found a home. best, sam
That was really nice. I just love people talking - can’t help myself.
A perfect use of audio. Thinkin’ outside the box, yo.
verrrrrry lovely. those tacos look delicious!!!!!

hector! beautiful piece… great framing, sunset and movements. and yes: it is pepa that makes us all more aware ot the playful nature of dogs. best, sam
Very nice. It inspired me. I’m going down to shot a kids powwow today, and you showed me an interesting approach. Actually this week I’ve seen lots of interesting approaches to shooting. I love the European approach. It allows you to create what you want - to see what you want. I found myself watching the swimmers, and noticing the playful nature of humans.
that´s interesting, “the european approach”.

Experiencing museums, old buildings and classic interiors can be quite interesting and not so soporific after all. Thanks to Ryanne for the inspiration and challenge from her fun Bruges video from week 6.
As always, supplementary didactic text and other links at patalab.
Cheers,Sam
I absolutely love museum videos. This was a superb video, nice music overlaying with the sound from the footsteps. How does it feel to take footage of people in a public space like this? That woman in conversation with the statue looking back, at you, sceptical - how did you react? Did you say something? Or did you pretend that What would you do if they notice it?. “Will she notice it?” Great, great.
I love Carlsberg Ny Glyptotek - I havent been there in a few months though. Time to go again!
Your piece from Glyptoteket was very different from my own piece from DAC from september - where you focused on the clothes and actions of others, I made a collage of my own self, activities, surroundings.
Thanks for sharing this, Sam!
Maybe we should have a museumwalking session in Copenhagen?

No matter that carnival itsn’t only a catalan tradition, here they put so many interesting on it. this video shows the event where 6000 “botifarras d’ou” (a typical dish) were gave to the people to celebrate the began of the carnival times.

One of the things I participated in during my visit to Tokyo was Xacti’s Tokyo Hunt, which was a day of running around taking video with local videobloggers. You can see Tajee’s video of some of our day here. (My video of eating Fugu The Poison Fish is coming up.)

btw: great video(s) this week on semanal ! very inspiring… thanks for posting.
That was nice. I liked the traveling, and of course the horse was surprise. It felt a bit long, but I liked it.

Having fun with the muppets’ song “manamana,” followed by some intense laughter.
How can you not smile while watching this?
Great video.
yes, indeed: intense and so very contagious warm, fun, and genuine heartfelt laughter…
that should prove again that it can be very entertaining to visit old buildings and museums.
thanks for sharing! best, sam
XD
This idea of laughing!!! I loved it. manamana!

I haven’t felt like videoing this week but here’s a quick one I took the week before to show my (juggler) friends. this is in Ben Yehuda mall in Jerusalem centre.
I recorded a video yesterday in the Old City as a sound walk - there’s video also but it’s not watchable

Crispy Duck, Pineapple Rice, and Home Made Applesauce.
We finally got the dinner done, and WOW was it yummy. Very easy to make as well, and the boys.. They just ate it all up.
We pick up these little “duck half” at BJ’s Wholesale Club and I just tossed that in the toaster oven for about half an hour at 350 then bumped it up to 450 for another ten minutes or so to ensure the “Crispy” part.
The Pineapple Rice was insanely easy… Simple white rice then added some cold pineapple chunks.
And as for the applesauce well we used our recipe the same one that was found in our earlier video.
And we paired dinner off with a nice Cranberry Pomegranate juice. And in wine glasses no less. It was a very fancy and sophisticated dinner and I think that was part of the reason why the boys ate their dinner so well. It was just well. Good all around.
dude your kids are great. Is he really drinking wine, or is that Ribenna (berry juice). Also, i’m now really hungry…

Look how insane LA looks at night as you fly into the city.
We built it piece by piece.
Jay-
I’m not sure were I’m supposed to comment…I checked momentshowing.net and this wasn’t there. At anyrate I really enjoyed this. I remember being amazed when I flew into LAX the first time because the lights just seemed to go on forever. Your video did a great job capturing that and brought back some great memories. Thanks!
Kerry
yes: momentshowing in the best sense of the term. so simple, so “quotidian”, yet absolutely magic. words cannot describe the fabulous sensation of flying, angel-like above the world. the soundtrack is marvellous. thanks for sharing.
hey sam, “quotidian” is a great concept, as momentshowing.
yeah, loved it. caught somewhere between BladeRunner and Tron. I love the moment when flying into a city where everything very quickly goes from ever-so-small to very big, in such a short time we fall hundreds of feet to land safely….the perspactive shift always intrigues me and this captured that perfectly

Another full frontal nudity WARNING.
As with many artists, I work with the human form.
There were two versions of the audio poem “Dark Cities”. This is the second. Better technically, put for performance, I prefer V. 1.0.
It features the voices of poets Bruce Weber and Stacie M. Kiner. The 3 of us wrote the poem together, and worked for years to bring it into various media.
In order to get the poem out into the digital realm, it needed images. The images are from behind the scenes of making the 16mm version. The images needed more, too. Glad they found one another in this piece.
Must find the VHS version we recorded in West Palm Beach with Stacie as Mrs. H and Lenny DellaRocca as Mr. H.
It’s around here somewhere.
This is a Semanal08-only release.
nice one Jan, and kind of inspiring. I used to write a lot of poetry many years ago. I used them as a base for song lyrics, and left them all at a rehersal studio once and lost years of writing just like that. Have not written more than 2-3 pages since, maybe 15 years ago. I was a lot unhappier then so it was easy (pain is art…) Think I’ll try to start again…..thanks

From: http://ryanedit.blogspot.com/2008/02/paris.html
good god, paris is beautiful. the only thing keeping me from wanting to move there is that i can’t speak a lick of french. daniel liss was recently there as was raymond. check out their amazing videos too. our xacti broke right before we hit paris, so we were shooting blind, no LCD screen to guide us. hence some crookedness. i think we did pretty well considering!
people you might know in this video: loiez, jefferey, raymond.
hey i like the crookedness - perhaps one week we can all video blind?
oh I’m so jealous. I love Paris. love love love love Paris. Best city in the world, would move there in a heartbeat. I noticed no wonkiness. I was either so engrossed in the images, or I have a whisky buzz going, either way it looked great

From: http://anthrovlog.wordpress.com/2008/02/18/the-digital-dojo/
The Digital Dojo is a very interesting place in which video blogging events are held to help people understand the many aspects of making and distributing video. One I attended was one of the “Super Happy Vlog House” events, held at various places in the United States. Are there SHVH events elsewhere in the world? I always enjoy going and learning about technical aspects of video making. I think the Dojo is great and Markus and Alicia are always so warm and welcoming to video bloggers of all levels. It is a beautiful place that has a peaceful atmosphere. Please note that this is a research site and that comments posted to the site may be used in research.
